Presented in a beautiful, rich purple box with gold stars, simply pull the golden ribbon on the side to slide out a box filled with goodies to calm and soothe a tired body and mind.

Blissed Out features three skin and soul soothing products alongside a beautiful Himalayan Salt massage stone.

Carefully curated, this collection is a complete ritual centred around you, helping to soothe your senses and relieve stress and tension.

We should all take time out from our busy lives to practice self-care and wellness and whether you’re looking to disconnect from the world for a time or reconnect with yourself o r a loved one, this exquisitely scented collection creates an aura of pure tranquillity.

The first item within this gift box is the Serenia calming & sensual candle.

This portable, aromatic candle allows you to create a peaceful escape from reality wherever you are.

 

Crafted with sensual and comforting Mediterranean essential oils including sweet orange, neroli, thyme, chamomile, eucalyptus, cypress, lavender, patchouli, frankincense and myrrh, this elegant and delicate scent fills the room, creating a sumptuous sanctuary of wellbeing.

Compliment this experience with the statuesque Serenitude calming & sensual mist.

Featuring the same intoxicating, aromatic notes of the candle, this body and room fragrance allows you to intensify the fragrant experience.

Sprtiz in the air around you and breathe in its warm, comforting aroma and let your troubles flow out from you with each breath you exhale.

 

Take your quest for relaxation to another level with the inclusion of the Serentini massage oil melt.

This luxurious, pale pink body balm instantly melts onto your skin, transforming from its sold form into a decadent, aromatic massage oil as it warms on your body.

 

Formulated with a host of Mediterranean skin-nurturing ingredients which have been chosen for their richness in vitamin E, vitamin K and antioxidant properties, it possesses the most beautiful, delicate yet discernible scent.

Featuring calendula extract along with a nourishing cocktail of beneficial oils including apricot, avocado, sunflower, hazelnut and prickly pear, the balm offers superior, long-lasting hydration and comfort along with muscle tension relief.

 

 

Silky and lightweight, it will leave your skin feeling incredibly soft, pampered and smelling simply divine.

To enhance your massage experience there is also a Himalayan Salts Massage Stone included within this gift.

 

Himalayan salt has long been used for healing in holistic therapies and are used for massage thanks to their ability to promote deep relaxation.

 When the stones are applied to the body, the heat sends a signal to the brain to turns off the stress state of being and turns on the relaxation.

 When our nervous systems are able to switch into the relaxation state of being, this allows not only our minds to relax, but our muscles begin to relax as well.

This magical, natural orb of beauty contains 84 naturally occurring minerals which are extremely beneficial for your skin and body.

The minerals in the Himalayan Salt stone assist in the detoxification process of massage; Massage alone is detoxifying because it is moving your blood and the lymph around in the body, helping to circulate the toxins out of your body.

The minerals in the stone actively help to draw out these toxins even further.

During massage the orb also helps to gently exfoliate your skin leaving it feeling softer and smoother, but that’s not all.

 

Himalayan Salt Stones give off negative ions.

For context, when there are too many positive ions in your body it can lead to inflammation, so  being massaged with the stone can help to balance the positive ions with negative ions, reducing inflammation.

You can use this stone as it is or with the assistance of hot and cold therapy by popping it in the microwave on a low temperate for 60 seconds or by popping it in the freezer for an hour or so before use.

Temple Spa’s Blissed Out is the ultimate gift for pure, positive, deep relaxation this festive period.

Blissed Out is available now from Temple Spa and costs £50.

Wonderfully silky and soft in texture, the bronzer almost melts into your skin on application.

 

It is so incredibly light that it is impossible to notice its presence and its soft, warming glow helps to lift a dull, tired looking complexion while its natural, never-orangey tone ensures your natural beauty shines through for a flawless finish.

That’s not all though, this decadent powder features the most luxurious scent, transforming your makeup routine into a multi-sensorial experience.

 

Opulent, aromatic Ylang-ylang blends with soft orange blossom, tonka bean and warm, creamy vanilla notes with a dash of white musk to create a comforting, velvety scent which transports you  to a land of pure decadence.

This truly is not just any old bronzer, this is the crème de la crème of bronzers.
