I ALWAYS think this is bubble bath season.

After a long hard day at work, being out it this cold weather, a long hot soak is a lovely way to upwind and feel pampered.

Finances are not  good in January, so a bubble bath can be a good alternative for pamper time.

Anne O’Neill of O’Neill’s pharmacy introduced me to REN and I have been a firm follower ever since.

REN was launched in 2000 and has become a cult favourite amongst celebrities, beauty editors and consumers. Their philosophy can be summed up in three words: performance, purity and pleasure.

REN gives you ground breaking formulation, the latest hi-tech actives, rigorous product testing with clinically proven results. It only uses 100% plant and mineral derived actives and is free from skin unfriendly synthetic ingredients.

REN believe that the texture, fragrance and experience of using REN can make can make the world a slightly nicer place to be and make us feel slightly nicer being here.

REN is free Felton mineral oil, petrolatum , animal ingredients and paragons. The Moroccan rose range is my favourite.

A rose infused body oil formulated to intensively replenish the skin, lock in moisture and give skin a healthy, youthful glow.

Results

• Locks in moisture.

• Restores glowing softness, elasticity and comfort.

• Protects against oxidative damage to combat the signs of premature ageing.

How to use

• Apply a generous amount onto clean skin and massage with circular movements until absorbed.

• The bath oil is a must for the ultimate in luxury bath time.

• A bath oil formulated with Moroccan Rose Otto Oil to nourish the skin and leave it lightly fragranced with roses. Rose Oil’s exquisite, sensual scent is also known for its stress relieving and soothing properties.

Results

• Moisturises and conditions.

• Skin is left soft, supple and lightly scented with roses.

How to use

Add a small amount to a full bath. The oil will disperse in water and will not leave a greasy film on the bath tub.

At the moment if you would like to test these products, there is a REN bath and discovery kit for €19. It includes the rose body wash and cream to luxuriate the body and revivo lift to stimulate the mind.

Another great set is the morocco can rose trio for €23, which includes a body wash and a body cream and bath oil.

Winter can be extra tough on sensitive skin types, with cold weather drying out the skin and central heating stripping vital essential oils.

REN have a sensitive range which include a cleansing milk, a serum and a night cream. Celebs who love REN include Kate Moss and Alexa Cheung.

REN can be purchased in O’Neill’s Pharmacy, Tralee.
