I—like most busy women I know—don’t have nearly enough time to pamper myself. Instead of a luxurious bath it’s usually a quick shower or a tub filled for two (with my daughter, not my husband) where the accessories are toys, not romantic candles.  Still I take what relaxation I can get and look forward to finding new products that can help transform me from frantic to serene in mere minutes. So when I discovered the bliss that comes with using the For Feet’s Sake range by Aromafloria, I was in true heaven.

I can’t even properly describe how much I adore the Double Action Spa Foot Scrub. The soft sweet mint scent hits me immediately and I happily breathe it in. It’s not overpoweringly minty, but just perfectly fragranced with organic spearmint and peppermint oils accented by organic rosemary and eucalyptus. The super thick formula gets its buffing action from organic sugar and fruit acids. So it’s naturally gentle but still tough enough to really help scrub away calluses. Treat yourself to a mini foot massage in the shower by rubbing it onto your feet for two minutes before rinsing. It’s invigorating, softening and just plain pampering. I actually think it’s a little insane to love a scrub so much.

While I easily make time for a quick two-minute foot scrub, a decadent foot soak is definitely more rare. But with the Perfectly Soft Spa Foot Soak, I’m inclined to find a way.  Housed in a pretty clear jar that’s perfect for display, the little white crystals dissolve dry, rough skin, stimulate circulation and rejuvenate aching feet. Just place a handful into a large bowl of water (hot to soften and cool to reduce swelling) and soak your tired feet for 10 minutes. The aromatherapeutic organic essential oil combination of rosemary, peppermint, spearmint and eucalyptus is both calming and invigorating.

Finally there’s the multi-purpose Refreshing Spa Foot & Leg Mist. Sure the cooling formula is great to spray directly on your feet and legs to help revive, deodorize and soothe. But it also banishes odor when sprayed directly into shoes. Just a few squirts helped rid my son’s sneakers of the nose-wrinkling aroma wafting from them. And when sprayed on the body, the anti-inflammatory and antibacterial organic ingredients leave your skin feeling completely refreshed.

A while ago Saffron Rouge debuted the Suki Color organic mineral makeup collection. With signature products like the Pure Cream Stain, the sophisticated, yet natural, range of cosmetics became an immediate hit. Since then we have also introduced the Suki skin care line. With over 20 products to choose from, it combines organic botanical ingredients including white willow, chamomile and green tea, with the marvels of modern science. Concentrated doses of active elements such as liposomes and antioxidants visibly and gently heal and treat the skin. Made by hand in small batches the formulas help change the skin’s tone and texture to show off a glowing, more youthful looking complexion. And it all happens without any chemicals or faux ingredients created in a lab.

The Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser is a great example of Suki’s philosophy of smartly mixing science with organics. The pure ingredients, like lemongrass, sugar, orange peel and seaweed extract smooth and rejuvenate skin with natural alpha hydroxy acids. It removes makeup, dirt and excess oil, but leaves behind skin’s natural moisture. Plus, the yummy fresh scent is an instant morning eye opener.

I’m a sucker for a good body oil and love to have a few versions to turn to after a relaxing bath. Right now one of my choices is the Delicate Hydrating Oil. The woodsy scent is created with an intoxicating combination of arnica, calendula, chamomile and lavender blended with apricot kernel, sunflower and grapeseed oils. Pour some into your bath or smooth it on afterwards while your skin is still slightly damp to help maintain and add moisture.

I hate days where I feel worn out, stressed and super tired. But what’s even worse is when my face shows it. Suki’s Intensive Brightening Cream combines natural active yeast collagen extract with natural antioxidants and skin brighteners to help even out skin tone, increase radiance and reduce puffiness. Essentially, it makes me look like I’m feeling great… even if I’m not.  With so many choices, you may be stumped as to what to buy first. So if you can’t decide what to get, I suggest the Nourishing Mini Skin Care Kit. The eight products are perfect for hydrating dry and fragile winter-worn skin.  One warning though: I do find it hard to shake the product out of the trial size containers…maybe it’s just me though.
