It is now that time of year that I start needing comfort products. People need comfort products for all kinds of reasons, but this time of year they are in higher demand. For me, all it takes is a little cold weather to have me yearning for a nice warm bath with calming scents. With the chilling air and stress of the holidays, nothing seems more inviting than a steamy shower with a hot salt scrub. Some people crave comfort food as the weather gets colder, but I try to channel my inner cravings towards body products. Not only will comfort products make you feel good about yourself, but they make you feel warm and cozy (no pounds added).
This month, I've found a selection of products that are created to comfort you, no matter how stressed out youve become. So make a little time for yourself, those few minutes to an hour really make a difference in your daily life. Sure, you time is calming in itself, but once youve added these soothing products to your beauty regime, youll be looking forward to it during your most stressful moments. Here are the products I recommend for helping you with your own wind-down timehave fun! (and theyre not recommended for use right before something importantin case you fall asleep!)
Lavender is famous for being calming, and so is this soap. In a beautiful deep purple color that is sure to please the eye, the smells of thyme and rosemary will relax you upon smelling it. The color of this soap is made from organic red grapes, and inspired by fields of purple lavender. The smell is extremely relaxing because lavender essential oil is the fourth ingredient, making it stand out among the other smells. The trick to this product is filling a nice warm bath, and bringing this with you. The smells with transfer into the bath water, making you smell like a flower and making you as sleepy and calm as if you were in a poppy field.
If the name itself doesn't convince you that this product is pure luxury, then you must try these. They smell like delicious chocolate covered cherries, wrapped in pink foil. They come in a box of four, but youll find yourself using them constantly, so four may not be enough. Simply drop one of these truffles into your bathtub and watch as your bath water turns creamy and cocoa buttery. Your skin will feel so soft after you slip into your cherry scented tub. Yum and so relaxing!
This push-up body stick is perfect if you need your yummy scent on the go. The texture made my skin soft, without making me greasy. I dont need to use this all over, but it is so perfect for my rougher areas, such as knees, elbows, heels of your feet. This product is a lot of fun, especially because you can choose from about 50 different scents! Some of my favorites are Raspberry Chocolate, Waffle Cone, and a holiday scent, Chai Tea. This is a must try product for my fellow food-scent loversI cant get enough of these aromas and simple but brilliant products.
This scrub is revolutionary in more than one way. With all of its spices and yummy scents, its texture is also amazing. Instead of the normal thick sugar and salt scrubs that you're used to using, this scrub uses crushed up nut shells (Walnut and Coconut to be exact) to exfoliate. I love that this scrub includes so many spices that you are familiar with in the kitchen, therefore invoking memories of holiday cooking. It includes Clove, Cinnamon, Paprika and Nutmeg. This is the ultimate comfort scrub not only is it calming, but so fulfilling to someone who needs to smell their favorite holiday smells.
Peppermint is amazing, it is known to keep you cool in the heat and warm in the cold. The smell of peppermint makes a lot of people think of the holidays, of candy canes, and peppermint tea. This lotion is a perfect comfort product because its not a strong, toothpaste peppermint smell. It smells a lot like peppermint, but a softer scent, with notes of flowers (honeysuckle and bergamot) also. Plus, the packaging is very cute, with a little bow tied around the top.
