One of my all-time
desert island products for me has to be Elemis frangipani monoi body oil. I
tend to use this product for when I really want to feel pampered after a bath
or a long hot shower. Some people may be put off using this however as it has a
very pungent, musky scent. The
ingredients in this product contain coconut oil and frangipani flowers the only
way for me to describe this heavenly aroma is to imagine yourself on a warm
exotic holiday surrounded by exotic smelling flowers and coconut palms.
This product has won
various beauty awards of the past 15 years. It comes in a red glass bottle and
when you first see it you immediately think how do you get the product out as
it is solidified. You can either place
the bottle on a warm radiator or do what I do which is when you are in the bath place some warm water in
the sink and let the bottle sit in the sink until you are ready to use it. The
heat of the water or temperature from the radiator return this product to a
silky oil.
Once you have been in
the bath or shower apply this product to damp skin and massage all over your body.
If you have any dry or rough patches such as feet, knees or elbows I would
concentrate on massaging the oil into these areas first. Elemis advise you can
also apply this to your hair if you like for a nourishing treatment, although I
haven’t done this myself.
Every time I use this
product I feel as though I am either transported away to my own desert island
or feel like I have attended a luxury spa. This is my weekend indulgent treat
when the house is empty and I have a bit of me time. My skin always feel soft
and supply and the aroma is still present the next day.
