Of all our products there’s a few which will always be our favourites, one of which is our Spa Essentials Body Butter. This deliciously creamy formula has proved the test of time and is one of our best sellers.
Not satisfied with a perfect formula and best seller title, our busy Product Team have worked tirelessly to introduce two new sister products in our Body Butter line up.
Age Repair Body Butter
Using the same principles of the hydrating formulas and ingredients as the Classic Body Butter product, this new anti-aging option is fast absorbing, nourishing and full of age repairing ingredients, including Nuteline® – a natural peptide derived from Hazelnuts – which increases collagen synthesis and cell turn over to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin’s firmness. Hydrating cocoa butter combined with skin softening sweet almond and macadamia oil to lock in moisture for 24hrs and improve skins texture and tone.
Ultra Rich Body Butter
More and more women complain that they suffer from dry skin, a condition that restricts women from confidently baring their body. Moving into the winter months this problem will often get worse as many of us tend to neglect and hide our bodies under comforting layers during the colder months and then panic as spring arrives.
Crammed full of moisture boosting ingredients that will melt quickly into distressed skin and keep it hydrated for 24hrs, nourishing shea and cocoa butter combined with skin smoothing wheatgerm oil help leave extra dry and dehydrated skin feeling soft and conditioned.
Having tried both the new butters out for myself, I can confirm that neither left my skin feeling greasy, instead my skin felt soft and really well hydrated. After only a few applications I noticed an improvement in those annoying little bumps on my arms and legs.
Both are priced at £9.99 and are available online from now and in Boots from March.
If you can’t wait to try them, then enter our competition and quote code BBC to get your mitts on a free set worth £27.98! Good luck!

The Brits are over and I’m sure there’s a lot of sore heads this morning as the party went on into the night.
Our back stage spa was dropped in on by many a celeb all wanting to escape the hustle and bustle for a moment or two and take five to relax in our amazing chill out spa.
Our very own Emma got flirty with Peter Andre, telling him she was cold so like a true gent he gave her his coat (and a kiss!) to keep her warm…ahh! Peter enjoyed a relaxing foot massage, if you want to see Pete and his feet check out the clip: http://www.brits.co.uk/videos/interview-with-peter-andre
Emma also got flirty (you can tell she had a difficult evening’s work!) with Capital Radio’s Kevin Hughes whilst our lovely therapist Catherine massaged his tense and tired shoulders as he tried to get her to dish to dirt on all the celebs popping in for treatments - true to the therapist rule book Catherine kept it all to herself; what happens in the therapist room, stays in the therapist room!
Check out the link to see Kevin Hughes and Margherita Taylor from Captial on a back stage tour – Emma’s the very small looking person around 2.11mins in talking to Kevin Hughes - maybe we should have given her a box to stand on or at least some heels! Only joking Emma I’m sure he was extra tall rather than you being extra small!?

Unfortunately, Emma and Genevieve only got as close as her dressing room in meeting Lady Ga Ga but that didn’t stop them rubbing shoulders with all the other celebs. Both Nicola Appleton and Melanie Blatt dropped in to say how much they loved The Sanctuary the last time they visited and said they would love to pop in again soon for another pamper session; you never know you may be rubbing shoulders with them next time you visit the spa.
The Sugar Babes nabbed themselves a goody bag as did Marvin from JLS as he enjoyed a head, neck and shoulder massage. Both Florence and Dizzy Rascal took some time out for some much needed R&R before their performance, with Florence and her 10 harpists (!) getting their mitts on all number of our products
Comments from Emma from working on the night “It was an amazing evening! I can’t begin to count how many stars I spoke to (Sugarbabes, Nicole Appleton and Melanie Blatt, Tom the lead singer of Kasabian, Peter Andre, JLS boys, Jo Wiley, Emma B, Jodie Kidd, Natasha Kahn from Bat to Lashes, Florence….. and soooo many more!)” so many celebs so little time …. jealous Moi? Well maybe only teeny bit.
Watch this space for more Brits updates coming soon.

As of Friday last week, our lovely spa has a newly refurbished lounge area just begging for ladies in robes to sit and relax in it.
Whilst these snaps don’t do it any justice at all, you can see it’s looking absolutely lovely. The new cosy areas offer a private retreat so you can sit and either read a book or catch up with friends, all over a glass of wine or bubbly is essential!
Why not book yourself in or better still treat both yourself and your mum to a day of unadulterated pampering? Our gift vouchers offer the perfect gift choice this Mother’s Day and starting at as little as £45 for an evening visit it won’t break the bank either or take advantage of our fantastic special offers, these are always subject to availability so book them while you can.
