With the London Olympic games well under way, we have been super-charging our health regime and getting more active in the spirit of all things sport. With extra running and increased pedaling, we have noticed a few stiff joints and muscles so have put a few of our favourites to the test to help combat fatigue and increase vitality. Below, is our guide to a Summer of sport…
THE BODY:
Amala Detoxifying Bath Salts – Relax and unwind with the Amala Detoxifying Bath Salts, great after a long-run or busy day training. Amala Bath Salts contain powerful whole plant ingredients such as Myrtle and Sea Algae, for a revitalizing, and detoxifying aromatic bath. The natural detoxifying crystals dissolve in warm water and will leave skin feeling soft, and even toned, whilst gently awakening the senses and increase well-being. We like to use the salts if feeling a little fatigued or run-down to help draw out impurities and promote a restful nights sleep.
Weleda Massage Balm with Arnica – Relieve aches and pains with Weleda Massage Balm with Arnica. We like to use this natural massage oil when we start to feel a little stiffness or muscle ache. It also makes an excellent massage oil for backache, sprains, bruising, and muscular pain, to bring warmth and relief of any pain.
Ambre Botanicals Thirteen Fresh Oils Extra Nourishing Body Oil is a versatile, synergistic raw and natural body moisturiser, made from a combination of pure cold pressed nut, fruit and seed oils. The nourishing blend of oils such as Avocado, Sweet Almond and Hazelnut will hydrate, and nourish the skin, whilst the beautiful blend of essential oils like Lemon and Rosewood will uplift the senses and sooth the skin. We have been using this natural body oil after our daily shower and bath to nourish the skin. We love it!
