Essentiel Elements Spa Treatment Collection

Essentiel Elements Spa Treatment Collection Travel Set*

I always love trying new products, and these Essentiel Elements Spa Treatment products are from Gilchrist & Soames. I've tried a few of their other products before in Birchboxes and have always really enjoyed them. Gilchrist & Soames are a bath, body and spa company with lots of different ranges and collections. I've recently been trying out this collection, and have been really impressed with the products.

First of all, the hair products. Now as you may already know, I hate washing my hair as it's so knotty and difficult to manage. I'm also not used to natural products, as they don't make much of a lather. When I used the shampoo and conditioner together my hair felt so clean and soft, and actually looked healthier. The scent is rosemary and peppermint and is really refreshing, although it's subtle (great for those of you who don't like heavy scents. The 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner is great if you want that '2nd day hair' straight away, or if you're short on time or feeling lazy! For me, as I have thick, knotty, bleached hair, I did still need to use a conditioner but I find that with all shampoos and 2-in-1 products. If my hair is feeling really dry, a 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner is gentler than a shampoo too.

The body products are of the same scent, but I found them to be more intense. The shower gel was really lovely and didn't leave my sensitive skin feeling dry or irritated. The body lotion was also really nice, and wasn't too rich so was perfect for daytime use. For my dryer areas I'd still use a body butter or shea butter formula but as a general body-lotion I really liked this.

There are also two bars of shea butter soap. I normally hate soap as I find it so drying, but these shea butter ones are really nice. If you're travelling they'd be great as they're lovely to use and they're big enough to last quite a while.

If you're going on a trip anywhere, this set would be great as it has everything you'd need for hair and body, and all the products are TSA approved, so it's perfect for travel. I also think this set would make a great little stocking filler, and the subtle scent would appeal to pretty much anyone. It's also a really affordable way to try out the products before committing to the full-sized versions, as the set is only £10. (It would also make a great secret santa gift)

Hope you enjoyed this post, I do have a beauty haul video coming up as soon as it finishes processing, which includes this set and some other beauty bits, so make sure you're subscribed to my Youtube channel so you don't miss it! (I'm currently having laptop problems that's causing the upload delay!)

Hope you all have a lovely weekend! xx
