Advantages: smells lovely

Disadvantages: leaves bath slippery

After my long relationship with Lush products, I have had to adjust somewhat to using oil in my bath instead of a foaming substance.
Part of my Burts Bees range consisted of a bath oil which can be used in the bath or directly on your skin after a bath or shower. I chose to add some to my bath the first time I used this.

Packaged in dark plastic bottle with a screw lid, this bath oil is a citrus flavour as well as containing vitamin E.
As you open the bottle a lovely strong scent of citrus, in this case, lemon hits you. It's a really refreshing fragrance and makes me want to inhale very deeply, but I resist of course.
To add this to your bath the bottle recommends you add two table spoons. I never use measures and add a glug which I think would be about the right amount. This oil is added after your bath has been run. The oil glistens as it sits on the surface of the bath congregating together in little bubbles. It looks very inviting as I sink into the water, but I do wonder where all this oil is going to gather around me.

After a soak of about fifteen minutes, I can feel the oil as it is sitting on my skin. It is making my skin feel soft and the aromas coming from the water are divine.
I notice I have to adjust my body to make sure I get a good coating of oil all over. I wouldn't want any part of my body to miss out on this experience.

Obviously the oil won't go anywhere else apart form into your skin as it sits on the water's surface. I would recommend you stay in the bath for as long as possible to enjoy the experience, but if you can't spend too long, then I would gather up as much of the surface oil you can see and rub into your skin.

The one main thing to remember when using this product is that as it is oil, then you will need to take care when getting out of the bath as it will be very slippery.
When you dry yourself, you will feel the oil still on your skin and you shouldn't rub too much of it off as it will still carry on absorbing into you after you have gotten out of the bath.

My skin smelled wonderful and it really did do a good job of becoming soft a couple of hours after my first bath with this product.

This bath oil will cost you £10 for an 18ml bottle. This will last you longer if you apply directly to your skin rather than adding to the bath, but I don't always have time for this and I prefer to use it in the bath.
It's an expensive product but not more so than a Lush product is when you consider how many uses you are going to get out of each.
