Let’s try and tweak some of our Bathroom Products

February 28, 2023

This article was written for Annabel & Grace, which is now part of Rest Less.

I want to tell you about some bathroom products that I am enjoying using at the moment. My bathroom and bedroom are my wellbeing spaces where I can indulge myself and relax after a day of exercise or working at my computer.

BALANCE ME

I have recently started using skincare products from the Balance Me range. Balance Me is a UK-based skincare brand that prides itself on using natural and organic ingredients to create products that are not only effective but also kind to the skin. Their range includes cleansers, moisturisers, serums, and body care products, all designed to nourish and hydrate the skin. Some of their key ingredients include hyaluronic acid, rosehip oil, and chamomile, all of which have been shown to provide a range of benefits for the skin. Balance Me is also committed to sustainability, using recyclable and biodegradable packaging wherever possible. Overall, their products offer a natural, gentle, and effective approach to skincare.

The two that I am really liking are the Pre and Probiotic Cleansing Milk and the Ceramide Barrier Booster. The cleansing milk is ultra-gentle, but it gets rid of all your make-up, plus it does a light exfoliate. The ingredients include Squalane and Salicylic Acid, which help to strengthen the skin’s surface. It also contains Manuka honey and Oat Milk (a bit like my morning cappuccino!)

My second product, the Ceramide Barrier Booster, is applied to cleansed skin and before your moisturiser. It contains that wonder product Hyaluronic Acid which apparently we should all be applying as our skin ages.

These products are from the range that is perfect for sensitive skin prone to redness. It is also great for dryness which is often my problem at this time of year.

Neither of these products contains any of the nasties like sulphates, parabens etc.

And see what Grace has to say about their Vitamin C Repair Serum

ERBORIAN

Erborian is my new go-to skin-perfecting brand. I have ditched all of my foundations in favour of the Erborian CC and BB creams. And to be honest, no primer etc is needed. It is just slap-on and go. Doesn’t sound very professional but let’s face it, who has time to spend 30 minutes in front of a mirror applying lots of skin products on a daily basis? Maybe for special occasions but not to whizz to the supermarket or a dog walk with girlfriends.

Seriously if you’re looking for a skincare brand that combines the best of Korean and French beauty, look no further than Erborian. This brand is about achieving that radiant, dewy glow that K-beauty is famous for. It also incorporates the luxurious textures and fragrances that French skincare is known for.

Their products are made with natural ingredients like ginseng, bamboo, and yuzu. These are carefully selected for their antioxidant and anti-ageing properties. Whether you’re looking for a nourishing moisturiser, a gentle exfoliating scrub, or a lightweight BB cream, Erborian has got you covered. And with their sleek and minimalist packaging, you’ll feel like you’re indulging in a luxurious beauty routine every time you use their products. So if you’re ready to achieve that perfect K-beauty glow, give Erborian a try.

My favourite daily product is CC Dull Correct, but I do use the CC Creme if I need a bit more coverage. By the way, both products contain SPF 25 sunscreen. I will be posting a video on Insta to show what these products do for my skin. So keep an 👀 out for my post.

SPLAT TOOTHPASTE

My chiropractor recommended the Splat range of toothpaste to me. He is an unusual source, but since he is so well-informed on all things to do with health, I do trust him. Since using this toothpaste, I have had so many compliments on my teeth. People have asked if I have had any dental work done. However, my new bright white smile is down to Splat.

Splat toothpaste is a great choice for anyone looking for a unique oral care experience. With a variety of flavours like citrus, grape, and even blackwood charcoal, this toothpaste offers a refreshing twist on your daily routine. Not only do they taste great, but they’re also made with natural ingredients and are free from harmful chemicals like SLS and parabens.

RADOX MUSCLE SOAK BATH

I am normally a shower girl, but when it is cold and grey outside, and I come back from a long dog walk, I do like to languish in a hot bath. Radox brings back so many memories of my youth, so this Radox Muscle Soak Bath for £1.25 from Amazon is an absolute bargain. The whole range of Radox is really well-priced on Amazon.

It relieves my tired and aching muscles and fills the bathroom with a gorgeous fragrance.

PURDY & FIGG CLEANING PRODUCTS

Purdy & Figg is the cleaning solution you never knew you needed – until you try it, and then you’ll wonder how you ever cleaned your home without it! Not only does it do a fantastic job of getting rid of grime and dirt, but it also leaves your home smelling like a lush garden on a warm summer day.

Back in 2018, NHS nurse Purdy Rubin and horticulturalist Charlotte Figg decided to make cleaning products they’d actually feel good using – both for themselves and for the environment.

And the best part? These cleaning products are eco-friendly, so you can clean your home and save the planet at the same time! Plus, they come in beautiful packaging that will make you want to display them on your shelves, instead of hiding them in a cabinet under the sink.

I recently tried Purdy & Figg in my bathroom and was blown away by how well it worked. Not only did it remove the stains and grime, but it also left a subtle fragrance of lime and lemongrass. My bathroom has never smelled so fresh!

I highly recommend Purdy & Figg cleaning products. I have been using the general cleaning product for some time now. I use it on all of my surfaces, including the Kitchen and wooden dining tables, plus I use it on my sofas. My sofas are a stone colour, and this general cleaning product removes light stains (a.k.a. dog slobber) and leaves my sofas smelling fresh.

Bathroom Bliss is sadly out of stock at the moment, but I am sure it will be back soon. All the Purdy & Figg products are effective, and eco-friendly, and will make your home smell amazing. Plus, they make cleaning just a little bit more enjoyable – and who doesn’t love that?

Your first order of Bathroom Bliss or the Variety Starter Kit will cost £30 for one non-slip Bottle for Life, three Lime & Lemongrass (or other fragrances) Eco-Concentrate Refills and a Microfibre Cloth. If you subscribe, you will receive three refills every 90 days for £15.

And they have perfume for your loo, Oh! de Loo eliminates unwanted bathroom smells, leaving behind a delightfully fresh and citrusy aroma.
