I can’t recommend this highly enough post-workout when you have been moving your body I a new way. Whether it’s increasing weights or hitting a new HIIT class. This works an absolute treat.

For those times when life is stressing you out. The soothing effect begins as soon as you pour the oil into the bath and the scent wafts up in the steam.
