Karma-tastic spa goodies
Personally, we find real-world spas slightly sinister - all those strangers in face masks, white fluffy dressing gowns and slippers. It's all a bit too... institutional. That's not to say we don't like the fancy unguents and lotions, however, which is why we're about going to tell you all about The Body Shop's new Spa Wisdom range. The green bit is that each of the range's 9 concoctions has one Community Traded (the Body Shop's own version of FairTrade - paying the producer extra) ingredient. The spa bit is that it's apparently "inspired by centuries of spa secrets". There's everything from an Africa spa salt scrub with Community Traded shea butter from Ghana (the most expensive - £14) to a Zambian honey-filled Dreamboat Milk Bath (the cheapest, at £8).
For those of you who agree with finding spa's institutional - u must have never been to aqua sana at centre parcs...out of this world and not one bit institutional!!
