St Grape skincare review!

I was lucky enough to be given the chance to try out three products by St Grape who make high quality natural skincare products which is something I always look for in a skincare brand as I want my skin to be as healthy as it can be! All of their products are hand made or developed using ancient processes and all products are eco-packaged - I'm sure you'll agree that it sounds like an exciting brand!

Exotic Pink Salt | £15 | 600g

"St.Grape Exotic Pink Salt is made up of 100% naturally-enriched pure essential oils. It is produced from high quality grade AHimalayan mineral crystal pink salt - a unique composition with up to 84 minerals with millions of years old. "

The first product I was sent was the Exotic Pink Salt which is such a pretty pink colour and was beautifully packaged and included a little bag to pour the salt into which can be wet and used to massage or hung in a room for scenting. I poured about 1/3 of the bottle into the bag and hung it in the bedroom and the room smells great already. I really struggle to get to sleep but since I've had this in the bedroom I've felt so relaxed that my mind stops working at 100mph and I actually sleep - amazing! All of the products I received have quite strong scents that aren't your usual Soap & Glory girly sent, they have the sort of smell you'd expect from a spa which took some getting used to but I actually really like the smells now! All products also come with instructions which I think is really sweet and they all have more than one use too, for example the salt can be used for foot soaking, full body bathing, massaging and room scenting! This would make a gorgeous gift and would look great on display in a bathroom because it looks such a high end, well made product. I am yet to try it for massage because once I've got the bag wet I won't be able to use it for scenting until it's dried, but once I have I'll update you!

Invisible Skin Massage Oil | £25 | 120ml
"From Europe to Asia, a better result is achieved by combining these massage techniques (date back to 3000 BC) with essential oils that are pure natural aroma oils distilled from plants, trees, roots and seeds."

The next product was the Invisible Skin Massage Oil which I imagine not everyone would have a use for but luckily I have a lovely boyfriend who is forever giving me back massages because I struggle with back pain quite a bit :( So I was really looking forward to trying this out as we've never used any kind of massage oil before. Again, this has quite a strong smell but I found it really relaxing and it definitely made a difference to the massage, my boyfriend said it was a lot better for him too. I will be using this very often from now on. I would say though, I had a shower straight after and I probably wouldn't use it without showering after because I'd feel a bit sticky. The bottle comes with a cork top which can be replaced by the glass ball top which comes in the box, a very cute idea!

Aqua Bliss Natural Face & Body Scrub | £12 | 150g

"This magical combination of natural high quality mineral sea salt and natural Oil extracts from around the world was uniquely created to rejuvenate, refresh and heal – at the same time offering a natural calming and relaxing sensation for the whole body."

Finally, I was sent Aqua Bliss which is a face and body scrub. I tried my best to get pictures of me unwrapping the product because it was in a really sweet box and wrapped in floral tissue paper, it felt like Christmas! The best way to describe the consistency of this is almost like wet sand but much less abrasive! In the picture below I put a lot more on my hand than you would use just to try and show the consistency, you can see in the areas where it's applied thinner that the grains are tiny. I have tried a lot of body/face scrubs but I never stick to using them because they either leave me feeling sticky afterwards or tend to feel really harsh on my skin but this scrub I have been using almost daily for 2 weeks because I love it so much! It exfoliates and makes your skin feel so much softer than before without being harsh in the slightest and there's no stickyness at all. This is my favourite product of the 3 and it will definitely be going on my Christmas list (I really think it will last that long!) One thing I would say is that I left it on the floor in my shower and when I go to use it it seems to have filled with water so the lid probably isn't tight enough to stop water getting in? But if you tip the water out it's fine and it can be easily avoided by not getting it wet so that doesn't really cause any issues, just something to be aware of!

Overall, I'm really impressed with all of the products I tried and will continue to use them until they run out. They are quite pricey compared to other scrubs and salts but I think it's definitely worth it because you can tell that they are made with love, they are packaged really well and have so many uses that I'd happily pay the money for what you get. They all feel good on the skin and leave you feeling relaxed and rejuvenated. I feel like I'm running my own spa from home!

All of the products can be purchased from the St Grape website so go and have a look! :)
