Our top picks after an outdoor winter outing

Our top picks after an outdoor winter outing

 

Winter is the perfect time to play outdoors and fill up on fresh air in the heart of nature. After a day of enjoying the freshly fallen snow, whether on the ski slopes, skating rink or snowshoeing trails, we return home with red cheeks, smiles on our faces and muscles tired from the effort.

What better way to relax and warm up than with a bath? Fill the tub with hot water, pull out your current reading material (and why not a glass of wine?) and light a candle… Happiness awaits. Here are our six essentials for a well-deserved moment of relaxation.


Eucalyptus Bath Bomb

Bring the soothing scent of a day at the spa back into your bathroom with our Eucalyptus Bath Bomb. Made with pure essential oil, it instantly relaxes muscles and supports the immune system by clearing sinuses. Body and mind will be in harmony!

Take relaxation a step further by browsing through our tailor-made selection of music. Simply scan the Spotify code on the bag to enjoy the ultimate zen atmosphere!

 

 

Exfoliating Mint and lime Soap

As you’ve probably noticed, cold weather, UV rays, wind and exposure to heating tend to make skin drier in winter. According to Elle Québec's article Comment prendre soin de sa peau en hiver, "exfoliation is essential, especially since the accumulation of dead cells on the epidermis forms a watertight barrier that slows down the absorption of creams. To counteract this effect, it’s best to exfoliate once or twice a week, depending on your skin type. Choose a product that’s not too abrasive, and apply it in light circular motions (…). This way, you can make the most of the moisturizing cream’s virtues."

We recommend our Exfoliating Mint & Lime Soap,

made with crushed pumice stones and poppy seeds. In addition to gently exfoliating, it deeply cleanses and moisturizes, leaving your body soft and silky.

 

 

Eucalyptus Bath Salt

Epsom salt, the main ingredient in our Eucalyptus Bath Salt, is renowned for its many properties. Not only does it soothe muscle pain, cleanse pores and purify the skin by eliminating toxins, it also reduces inflammation to relieve pain and muscle cramps. In addition, it promotes healing of skin tissue, helps balance skin moisture by helping to reduce water retention.

Add half a cup of salt to a hot bath and stay there for at least 20 minutes for maximum benefits.

 

Bath Tea (Relaxation and Detox)

If drinking tea and herbal tea is part of your daily routine, you’ll be delighted to know that the benefits of this comforting beverage are similar to those of bath tea. Try it and you’ll be delighted. Choose between our Eucalyptus Detox or Relaxation blends, both designed to benefit your skin and mind. The combination of carefully chosen natural ingredients has many benefits: colloidal oatmeal accelerates skin regeneration, eucalyptus relieves congestion, calendula petals are anti-inflammatory and coconut milk deeply moisturizes, to name but a few. Discover the full list of benefits by visiting the product sheet for each product, which can be purchased individually or as a trio.

When ready to use, place a tea bag in the bath and leave to infuse. A bath of at least 15 to 20 minutes will allow your skin to absorb all the nutrients it needs.

 

 

Eucalyptus and Menthol Shower Steamer

Want to experience the benefits of a therapeutic spa at home? Unwrap a Shower Steamer, place it in a corner of the shower (avoid putting it directly under the water jet) and let the essential oils envelop you as they come into contact with the warm water. It will last for one long shower or two short showers (not to be used in the bath).

We recommend using it as soon as you feel the first symptoms of a cold, or after a particularly stressful day. Inhale deeply and enjoy the aromatherapy provided by this blend of eucalyptus essential oil and mint crystals. To find out more about this product, which has become a favourite of many, visit the blog.

 

Therapy Lip Balm

Lips are one of the first places affected by the cold, becoming dry and chapped. That’s where our Therapy Lip Balm works miracles. Rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids, including sea buckthorn oil, it is deeply moisturizing and is said to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Keep it handy during your winter escapades and apply as often as necessary.
