Okay, I didn't want this to be a total Posh blog-- not that there's anything wrong with that product line, but to be fair...I think I need to mention other products I've run across that are good for pampering as well. Otherwise it won't be a well balanced list of pampering experiments on my end. Though these would probably fall more under the tight budget pampering line for me.
So this is an interesting foaming bath oil and body wash that I ran across during the holiday season. The scent is an interesting blend that's refreshing and fades to leave you refreshed and smelling nice but not too powerful as to mix with other scents from other pamper care products or lotions. Normally a scent blend like this would fall under my radar, but it's the other properties that I find nice which has this as a 'keep around' for occasional use in the bathroom.
Outside of providing a refreshing cleanse to your skin, this foaming bath oil and body wash can be used as a soak in the bathtub to help ease aches and pains. The liquid version is perhaps not as strong as the actual bath soak salts, but the fact this can be used as a multipurpose care item makes it worth keeping around if you'd like versatility. If you're looking more for a soothing soak than a wash, check into the Village Naturals Therapy Aches + Pains Tension Relief Concentrated Mineral Bath Soak | Juniper * Orange * Menthol instead.
When used as a body wash this product will last for a long while, if you also use it as a soak for aches and pains-- it might not last too long. Though with a lower price tag than most pamper care products, it's not bad considering the alternatives. I like to use this during the winter season because of the menthol mixed into the wash, it helps to feel normal again after being out in the chill air or even if you've recovered or are still dealing with a bit of a cold. It's pretty good as well to ease the tension aches from feeling a bit under the weather during the winter.
The most common place I've located this particular body wash has been through the local WalMart and just around the $5 price tag unless they've got a sale. I've also seen this available online at other stores like Amazon, but I often seen the price listed as far higher than I've ever paid for in the past. It may be more difficult to get in some areas, and some local stores may not have this particular product line, so if you do have to shop elsewhere-- I wouldn't pay more than around $10 unless you're getting a package deal before adding shipping costs if any to the total.
This blend may not be for everyone, but Village Naturals Therapy has other blends that may appeal more to the senses over this mix. They company lists the other available products on their site along with a zip code store locator so you can find the nearest store that should carry this product.
