the body shop spa of the world relaxing ritual

a bit over a week ago here in finland the body shop introduced new luxurious bath & body care collection called spa of the world. this collection consists of 3 spa rituals and i'm going to write individual post of each ritual.

the first one is relaxing ritual that leaves skin luxuriously smooth and mind relaxed. it consists of 5 products.

 step 1. scrub: axfrican ximenia scrub - 350ml, 25,90€

softening cream based body scrub that is good for dry skin. it has lovely light scent. i recommend this scrub for someone who doesn't want super rough scrub. (very similar to the old spa wisdom product).

ingredients include e.g. ximenia oil, shea butter, beeswax and corn starch (the exfoliating ingredient).

step 2. treat: himalayan charcoal body clay - 200ml, 21,90€

purifying body clay mask that cleanses and draws up impurities. apply thin layer with the body mask brush (18€) and let it dry up 5-10 minutes before rinsing. i really recommend the brush for applying - it's much less messier and it helps you to get thin enough layer. another important advice is that you should scrub your body before applying the body mask, otherwise it will get stuck..

ingredients include e.g. charcoal, kaolin and sesame oil.

step 3. relax: egyptian milk & honey bath - 250g, 20€

(of course i forgot this product from the collection picture..)

i haven't tried this product by myself since i don't have a bath tub. it's a powder that you apply to the bath water and it becomes milky texture. after doing all the work (scrub+mask) you can relax in this softening and moisturising bath. only negative thing i would find about this product is that you need to apply 5 spoons of powder to the bath - i think you don't get more than 4-5 baths from the bag.

ingredients include e.g. plant based "milk", honey, olive oil, almond oil, sesame oil, sunflower seed oil and black cumin seed oil.

step 4. nourish: japanese camellia cream - 350ml, 28,90€

here is closer look to african ximenia scrub and japanese camellia cream.

the japanese camellia cream feels so soft and silky, and it literally melts to the skin. the cream has light floral scent from the camellia flowers. the camellia cream is lighter than the kukui cream i'm introducing in the last chapter (if you are comparing and thinking between these two).

ingredients include e.g. camellia seed oil, shea butter and mango seed oil.

step 5. massage: french lavender massage oil - 170ml, 19,90€

relaxing massage oil with lavender and chamomile oil. lavender used in this product is harvested from south france which is famous of the quality of the lavender. if you loved the old lavender massage oil, you are gonna love this one too, since it's an enhanced version.

base oil is mix of almond-, sesame-, and jojoba seed oil.

these products are for more demanding customers who are looking for luxurious products. you are maybe thinking about the price, but actually the litre price is less than in the normal body butters and srubs. a really good idea is to buy some of the products with friends and do spa nights together.
you can of course mix products from different rituals to better suit your needs. the relaxing ritual products you will recognize from the purple color tag.
