There’s something magical about travelling and discovering new places that brings your soul to life. 

When I go abroad I also want to experience new products, fragrances can then instantly transport me back to that place.  On my last trip to Italy I packed the Bodhi Essential Skin Care Set.  If you haven’t heard of Bodhi you are in for a treat, founder Elijah Choo has created an elegant, sophisticated, ethical, and highly effective skin care range.  The name Bodhi means enlightenment, to awaken and to understand, and their products have the most uplifting and awakening effect on your body.

Using only natural and organic ingredients, Bodhi products contain 100% goodness and nothing synthetic, whether it’s fragrant Bulgarian Damask Rose Otto oil or Jasmine extract from Egypt, to Shea Butter and Coconut Oil, each and every ingredient is sourced from around the world and lovingly blended in the heart of England.

The Bodhi range includes bath and shower products, body moisturisers, massage and body oils and targeted skin care.  The first thing you notice when you open a Bodhi product is the amazing aroma, the depth of fragrance comes from high quality essential oils and perfumery-grade absolute, the intensity leaves a lingering fragrance on the body while the enveloping scent fragrances the bathroom. 

The Bodhi Essential Skin Care Set contains four generous sized products packed with botanicals to nourish and deeply hydrate your skin.  Two bath and shower therapy washes invigorate the body while calming the mind, a sensual body moisturiser which sinks into the skin leaving it delicately fragranced, soft and hydrated all day, and the Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil which is packed with ingredients to stimulate and improve mature skin.  Blended with more than a dozen different oils, chosen for their anti-ageing properties, The Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil is a perfect sleeping partner for me.  The oil is fine enough to use when the weather is hot, and the fragrance from the Bulgarian Damask Rose Otto soothes and calms you as you go to sleep.  On waking your skin is hydrated luminous and radiant.  For the ultimate experience use the Bodhi bamboo cotton face and body flannel to gently stimulate and exfoliate as you shower.

The Bodhi Essential Skin Care Kit contains:

* Ylang-Ylang Incensa Sensual Bath & Shower Therapy – 50ml
* Palmarosa Verde Purifying Bath & Shower Therapy – 50ml
* Ylang-Ylang Incensa Sensual Body Moisturiser – 40ml
* Desert Rose Rejuvenating Face Oil – 5ml
* Bamboo Cotton Eco-Luxe Body & Face Flannel

Ylang-Ylang Incensa for me is now evocative of summer holidays – of Tuscan hills and relaxation – what more could you want from your shower!
