Advantages: extremely soft skin,

Disadvantages: a bit expensive for a body wash at £4.75 a bottle

I first got this as a present for myself whilst Christmas shopping. With the 3 for 2 offer in Boots, I had chosen the 2 presents that I needed to buy and felt like getting the free one as a treat to myself. I bought myself the little Sanctuary Spa Hat Box - a stylish orange hat box with lots of miniature goodies inside promising to be pure pampering.

Upon getting home, I was desperate for a good hot shower with my pampering goodies (christmas shopping drains the life out of me). I opened the box and selected the small 75ml bottle of body wash, locked the door and slid into the steaming water. (You also got an orange plastic-y exfoliating cloth in the box), and so forth, I squeezed some of the orange jelly onto the cloth and worked it into a lather (it does lather up brilliantly and you only need a small drop). The fruity, spicy smell rose into the steam filled room, relaxing me as I massaged the lather into my shoulders. The small orange beads releasing more scent into my skin as I massaged this in. I was, however, quite worried about using a new product, as I have suffered from eczema for quite a number of years, and some products seem to make me break out in orange patches of dried skin and weeping wounds. Fortunately for me sanctuary spa has done the complete opposite and has cleared my skin up a treat. Since using this wash from mid - november, I can say hand on heart that I have not had a break out of dry skin since I started using this!

After the shower, I seemed in quite a dreamy mood, not wanting to leave the safe haven of my steamed up bathroom and the fabulous scent within. From that shower, I forgave myself the sin of treating myself with the gift and became truly and utterly addicted to Sanctuary Spa body wash.

An hour after the shower, I still had the smell on my skin and the bathroom was wonderfully fragranced.

I even got a funny look when I walked into my local Boots store recently (my neighbour works there), with my arms full of gift sets for Christmas (I persuaded my husband to by some for me (well they were 3 for 2, and there was one for my sister in law there too). I had to admit that I was addicted, before throwing in the ''its done wonders for my eczema''! And the gift sets were more value for money than buying the products separately!

This has to be a 5 star product in my opinion and would recommend everyone to give it a try! Just make sure you are not sharing your hot shower with the other half - I wouldnt want to share the indulgence with anyone - but I am just selfish in that way :) mine all mine ;0)
