Obviously the Bath & Unwind team love bottles, pipettes and tubes of luxurious lotions and potions.

I’m a bit obsessed with getting super-fresh nutrients and love juicing up 2 apples, 2 carrots and a thumbnail sized piece of ginger every morning.

I read once that Cindy Crawford swears by rubbing coffee beans mixed with a little olive oil into her thighs before a shower. Caffeine applied externally is amazing for lessening cellulite. Well, if it’s good enough for a Supermodel… Sam
I’m a big fan of the honey and aspirin mask – it’s brilliant for calming sensitive/reactive skin. Also, beer rinse to make hair shiny… but I usually drink it before I get the chance. Lizzie
