New Year. New You. We do the same thing every year, make resolutions to be fit, healthy and crank up the beauty regime but then life kicks in and by March you are back on the sofa with a bottle of wine having just swung by In & Out Burger on your way home from work. So I’m not doing any of that but I do think a good invigorating scrub is the best way to start the year and get everything going and there are so many options you really don’t need to leave the house if you don’t want to. But first we really should leave the house so here are some of my favourite places in London to buff your bod. I love going to Bliss Spa and their Hot Salt Scrub is one of the best, even better is their product range and tools so you can also recreate it in the comfort of your own bathroom with the Hot Salt Scrub tub or change it up with the Lemon & Sage Body Scrub. Another London spot of which I am a regular is Spa NK, for a quick fix ask for the Natura Bisse Body Glow Scrub or if you want real indulgence try the Caudalie Crushed Cabernet Body Scrub & Massage. Also the Exotic Lime & Ginger Salt Scrub at Elemis is simply gorgeous, you leave feeling silky smooth and rejuvenated. If I’m in New York I would head to the Guerlain Spa at the Waldorf Astoria for a Salt Glow and in Paris it would have to be the traditional Hammam experience at La Mosquee de Paris. Now for those of you who really don’t want to leave that warm cosy house you are cocooned up in there are a world of treatments you can do at home. Firstly before anything else, get body brushing, this is the one New Year habit you really should get into as it helps release toxins, improve circulation and get rid of old skin cells (gross but essential). I’m currently in love with my Mio Natural Dry Body Brush as it has little rubber nodules which give you a bit of extra massage as well. As far as home scrubs go there are thousands out there and yes you could just add a cup of rock salt to coconut oil but where is the fun in that? I like a scrub which turns my bathroom into a little essential oil paradise and if you are the same you could try any of these: Balance Me Super Toning Body Polish, Aesop Geranium Leaf Body Scrub & Susanne Kaufmann Detox Oil Scrub. So there you have it, now get scrubbing.
