My love for taking baths continues

I have recently discovered something wonderful...I want to share with my readers this great little invention called bath truffles. Yes, yes, I know you are going to tell me I'm sort of late to be talking about this, its been done for many years now.
Everyone knows bath bombs, thanks to Lush, we have all gotten a big round colorful ball for the holidays. But aside from fizzing and making a big colorful ring in my tub, I don't quite see the use of those things and that is why I don't really carry any bath bombs at Dans ta bulle. Well apparently the new trend in baths these last few years is the bath truffle! It combines the fun aspect of the bath bombs along with cocoa butter, which acts like a bath oil and makes your skin ohh so soft. The next generation of bath gadgets I suppose. Well, all I can say is I love it! Dot and Lil makes some that we sell at the store with really fun scents like satsuma and honeysuckle and Amarille made some specially for the boutique, so we have a great collection of scents you can choose from. So come have a ball and go home and take a bath!

Testing zone: Manicouagan clay

Saturday I had a really long day and what I was looking forward to was the thought of a nice long bath waiting for me at home...
So when I got home you can imagine what was the first thing I did, set up my bath. Warm water, a few drops of rosehip oil with some orange blossom essential oil and a nice handful of mud! Actually, it was Manicouagan clay, this gray sandy mud that comes from the north of Quebec from the region of Manicouagan, where it gets his name.
It all started 215 million years ago when a big meteorite crashed in this region that created the unique set up for the development of this special clay. I will spare you the scientific details which can explain the many reasons why this clay is so great and go right back to my bath tub experience.
As I was saying...I placed a handful of this mud into the bath and went right in. Most of the mud got diluted into the bath but I kept a small walnut size dollop of mud to play with (I lost my rubber duck during my last vacation) and I spread the mud all over my face, chest, shoulders and my back.
First thing I noticed was that there are very small particles in this mud and as I rubbed it on my face I realized that this is like an exfoliation at the same time, those small particles were buffing away all the dead skin. After my bath, my skin was glowing. Not only did the clay cleanse and exfoliate but it felt as though my skin was rejuvenated, like a day at the beach or something.
I have to say that working in the cosmetic industry, I have tried a lot of products. Many have claims to do almost magical things, make you look younger and more beautiful. Well this product also has many claims, I cannot vouch for all of those claims but I gotta say that it definitely cleanses, exfoliates and revitalizes you skin all in one step. And you can see some results after just one use. That in itself, is already very impressive.
I give this product a 9 out of 10. The reason its not a full 10 on 10 is because you have to clean the bathtub after your mud bath, it leaves a gray dusty residue that has to be rinced away. But aside from the cleaning this is an excellent product. Try Argile Eau Mer's clay it's really great!
