As the nights draw in I always find myself feeling at a loss during the long evenings.  They just seem to drag.  One of my favourite ways to counter this is to enjoy an extended soak in a luxuriously accessorised bath.  I’m talking bubbles, candles, scents and the softest towels.  More often than not I am accompanied by a small glass of something relaxing.  Heaven! 

So that my experience is not pure self-indulgence I also use these long soaks to give the skin on my body a bit of much needed attention.  I add mineral salts to the bath water to re-mineralise my skin.  Dermalogica’s Hydro Active Mineral Salts are perfect and can also be used as a scrub on those stubborn areas of rough skin such as elbows and knees.  Half way through my soak I am usually able to muster up enough energy for a spot of exfoliation.  After a polish with the Exfoliating Body Scrub my skin always feels rejuvenated. 

The last step as I reluctantly drag myself out of the tub and back to reality is a wonderfully rich all-over moisturiser.  Dermalogica Ultrarich Body Cream is divine and leaves me with super soft skin.  With this cream I really know I have been indulged and my skin will stay soft and smooth for days.

Whilst I’m soaking my mind wanders and I don’t even notice the evening dragging.  My perfect antedote to the winter blues!
