After The Rain Shea Body Butter From ARRAN Sense of Scotland #ad

June 23, 2022 by Erica Hughes 35 Comments

I’ve been trying out the recently launched After The Rain Shea Body Butter From ARRAN Sense of Scotland.

After The Rain Shea Body Butter From ARRAN Sense of Scotland is a luxurious moisturising butter, formulated with Scottish sea kelp, to help nourish and hydrate dry skin. With extracts of lichen, peat moss & fern to create unique rejuvenating and moisture boosting properties. It aims to provide lasting hydration, it helps to soften and comfort the skin without leaving a greasy film.

Features & Benefits:

• Intensely hydrating formula for dry skin
• large concentration of Shea butter (20%),
• Rich in vitamins, antioxidants and minerals
• Scottish kelp extract
• Fast and easy absorption
• No greasiness or tackiness
• Suitable for all skin types

What did I think?

I’ve been taking After The Rain Shea Body Butter along to the pool to use after my regular swims. This is a time when my skin really needs a moisture boost and I always moisturise my body after a session of lengths swimming. It’s got a beautiful, natural scent and the cream is soft, smooth and easy to apply. Application was so easy because the cream is so light and it easily blends into your skin. It’s a really easy product to use, but it also has a luxurious feel and you know it’s a quality product as you apply it.

My skin was smooth and soft after use and didn’t need any further moisturising until the next time I swam. I’m really pleased with the results. The other thing I liked is the way this product scents my skin – it’s a lovely natural scent that isn’t overpowering. You can either just have this lovely scent or layer it with your own personal choice of fragrance without worrying about clashes.

I also think After The Rain Shea Body Butter from ARRAN Sense of Scotland would make a lovely gift.

June Giveaway

June 8, 2022 by Erica Hughes Leave a Comment

The essence of summer is not just the heat, it’s the feeling that summer brings. It’s the sense of freedom and adventure. Summer is a time when you can get out of your comfort zone and try something new.

We all know what it feels like to be in love with someone or something, but what does it feel like to be in love with summer? I certainly feel like I’m a bit in love with summer myself. I love the ease of being able to leave the house without being all wrapped up. I love being able to comfortably spend time outside just relaxing and socialising. I love the greenery, the flowers and seeing nature in full swing.
