We’ll update you when the results are in… Fingers Crossed!

At The Sanctuary we’re really chuffed when one of our products is picked out for its performance, especially with all the hard work that goes into making it just right!

The serum is packed full of age repairing ingredients including sunflower oil, vitamin B3 and the ‘sciencey’ bit Hydractin® – which includes Papaya extract to promote cell turnover and gives a lasting moisture boost. We’re not promising you will look like one of ‘The Saturday’s’ overnight but used regularly you will certainly notice a difference in skin hydration.

And we’re not the only ones that think so as it’s already won ‘Best New Body Care Product’ at The Pure Beauty Awards too!

Fingers crossed!

For those of you working in highly polluted cities or are out and about in the sun, it’s important to protect your skin on a daily basis.

Our very own Spa Essentials Body Butter has been voted as the ‘Best Rich Moisturiser’ by Woman & Home readers.

We love to receive these awards, especially when they are voted for by real women who become fans of the range.

This decadently rich body butter is an intensive skin booster crammed with nourishing Cocoa Butter and creamy Shea Butter. Super moisturising for instant results, this luxurious cream is laced with Sweet Almond Oil, smoothing Macadamia Oil and protective Vitamin E for all over pampering.

Slather this purely sumptuous skin food generously all over clean skin paying particular attention to dry patches such as heels, knees and elbows, for intensive moisturisation.

Happy moisturising!

May issue is out now.

Moisturising Butter Scrub wins ‘Best Body Scrub 2009’ from Company magazine.

This handy 2-in-1 scrub come moisturiser is great for those of you with busy lives or those of you who simply can’t be bothered with a moisturiser after showering.

The rich nut butters and sweet almond oil means you don’t have to use a separate body lotion. Use on dry skin before jumping in the shower, wash off and your skin will be left silky smooth.

Buy yours now, you won’t be disappointed!

We were pleased as punch when we found out that our Spa Essentials, that’s the orange top range to those of you in the know, had won such a fantastic award.

Our humble little Body Butter was voted ‘Best Body Moisturiser 2008’ by Handbag.com users which makes the award even more special and so much of an honour.

We never take winning awards for granted and after settling ourselves down after all the excitement we’d like to say a very big “THANK YOU!” to all of those who voted.

Our new Trim & Tone Body Wrap appeared on ITV’s This Morning (7th November) in a tried and tested feature by Nadine Baggott (beauty expert) on at-home body wraps.

Our humble wrap came first by miles in the overall cm loss and was quoted by Nadine to ‘have amazing results’. Nadine claimed ‘she was actually quite shocked’ at the success of our wrap!

We are always SO excited when our products are demonstrated by real women with real concerns as our main mission in life (yes we’re that dedicated) is: to produce real beauty products that work for real women at affordable prices.

So you’re asking ‘what were the results’?

Well…

The results were staggering! The Sanctuary’s wrap came in 1st for the overall cm loss and apart from the coffee granules (I prefer mine with milk and two sugars) came in cheapest!

1st trial – thigh area. Trim and Tone Body Wrap from The Sanctuary, £24.99
Nadine Baggott claimed she was ‘amazed and actually quite shocked’ at the success of the product.
Model commented that ‘my skin feels so supple, just like a baby’
CM LOSS – 8.5cm over 9 areas on the thigh. A massively impressive result and for only £24.99!

2nd trial – stomach area. Guam Seaweed Mud Mask, £33.99
For this wrap you use cling film to wrap the mask.
CM LOSS – 3.5cm over 9 separate areas. A fair result but only slightly higher than the coffee granules.

3rd trial – stomach area. Ionitherme, £55
This wrap has only previously been available as a salon treatment.
The models comments were that the wrap left her freezing and ‘was like having ice around you’
CM LOSS – 5.5cm A good result but at £55 it is quite expensive.

4th trial – stomach area. Nadine’s own wrap – made up of Coffee Granules
For this trial Nadine based her theory on the caffeine in coffee granules being a high stimulant.
Comments were that it was nice and exfoliating.
CM LOSS – 3.5cm. Great results for something that you can take free from your cupboard!
Overall feedback across all the wraps were that all the women trialling the products felt ‘smaller’ with softer and tighter skin.
We have said before that the wrap isn’t a miracle worker, it’s a quick fix to fitting into your perfect outfit or for boosting your confidence for a special occasion.
So now you know what you have to do if you want an instantly firmer and slimmer figure (that’s go out and buy the New Trim & Tone Body Wrap for those who didn’t guess!)

Full homage and respect goes out to Louise Perry, our lovely Senior Product Manager for developing such an amazing product!!
