Scottish Fine Soaps: Honey B Harmonising Body Products

If you're the kind of person who has a fetish for quality beauty products for everyday use, Scottish Fine Soaps is the destination for you. Two of my favourites that I'd like to share with you are from their range of the Honey B products: the Harmonising Body Polish and the Harmonising Body Whip.




Enriched with Acacia Honey, Royal Jelly, and Vitamin E, the Body Polish is wonderful - I love the feel of my skin every time I use it. Its soft, sparkling, and clear! The Body whip is probably the fluffiest indulgence in moisturising you will ever come across. Packed with Shea and Cocoa Butter, this product also contains beeswax, and Scottish Honey. And at under £10, this is a keeper for the bathroom closet!!!!!

KMMD Hydrating Cream

December is a time for festival fun. But December is also a time when life turns hectic. We travel, run around, work triple shift - at home, at work, at the shops - to get things just right for the Holidays. Yup its exhausting, and more so on our skin. Well, here's a product that promises to keep us glowing no matter what. Its Dr. Kenneth Mark (of the signature facial at the Ritz Carlton Club in Aspen Highlands)Antioxidant Hydrating Cream with Astaxanthin.

And what is Astaxanthin you may ask? Well apart from being the key ingredient in the cream, it is believed to be the ultimate antioxidant. It is a carotenoid It is said to have around 1000 times the antioxidant power of Vitamin E and 100 times that of beta-carotene. KMMD cream improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, deals with blotchy skin, smoothes the skin and protects it from future damage.
