Voted Tatler magazine’s international spa of the year for 2009, Cowshed is luxurious skincare line originating the eponymous spa at Babington House located in Somerset just outside London. Don’t forget your Hunter wellies and Barbour vest which are the requisite uniform here.
The original spa was launched in 1998 and named after the building’s former occupants. Founded in the philosophy of premium 100% natural essential oils all ingredients are organic, wild-crafted and fair trade botanicals with minimal use of preservatives. The products do NOT contain any parabens, petrochemicals, sulphates or artificial dyes or fragrances. There are no animal products in the ingredients except for organic beeswax and wildflower honey. Every product’s ingredients are sourced from the original walled garden at the original Cowshed spa in Somerset. We also love the cheeky product names like “Moody Cow” and “Knackered Cow”.
Our favorite picks from the Cowshed (it was hard to pick only a few!) collection include: Cowshed Wild Cow Evening Body Wash. The Wild Cow Evening wash is made with a refreshing re-hydrating mix of lavender and rose infusions and pure essential oil of lavender made from herbs grown in the walled garden at Babington House. Other faves include “Moody Cow”- Balancing Bath and Shower Gel as well as “Udderly Gorgeous” Cooling Leg and Foot Treatment. Lastly, you’ll want to indulge in the Knackered Cow Relaxing Soap Bar which is triple milled to a smooth luxurious texture leaving skin soft and gently scented with the delectable Knackered Cow fragrance.

Finding skincare products that can deliver beautiful, healthy skin can be hard to find if you’re on a tight budget. I’ve come across several facial scrubs that cost an arm and a leg but it deliver great results which I expect since I’m pouring out twice as much than I would like to pay. So what do I consider great results? Well.. a skincare facial scrub that can deep cleanse my pores and can successfully remove dead skin cells to reveal smooth and soft skin. Is it possible to find a facial or body scrub that can give me smooth and healthy skin on a much smaller budget? Yes, it’s possible with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. If you’re on a budget this is your best bet because it works just as well as the more expensive skincare products I’ve come across.
St. Ives Apricot Scrub is an invigorating scrub and is the secret to revealing beautiful and healthy skin on the face and body. It’s a natural exfoliant that deep cleans the pores and gently removes dull skin creating a smoother and softer appearance. Here are other great skin features on the product:
- Evens out skin tone on face
- Makes pores appear smaller
- Dermatologist tested
- Non-drying
- Won’t clog pores
- Vitamin-rich apricot extract
- Contains Swiss Glacial Water
- Nourishing Swiss Botanicals
This has been one of my secrets for smooth skin. I’ve used this St Ives scrub for years and is a smart buy for a great price. It works very well on people suffering with acne/oily skin. In fact they have a scrub specifically for acne sufferers. It’s good to use on any skin type and a good alternative to microdermabrasion or high end products if price is an issue. It might not be as effective but it’s a good start. Also, be well advised before using any scrub especially if you have sensitive skin.
Don’t overuse!!!! Use in moderation such as every 1 to 2 weeks. Now, start showing that healthy skin on the face and body with St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Available at your local drugstore.

Hello my fellow readers. It’s a new day and a new giveaway. Yay!!!!
Bethesda Skincare is introducing a new soap with sunscreen? Yes!! Sunscreen. How amazing is that? Bethesda Sunscreen Soap is the world’s first all-natural sunscreen body bar with multi-vitamins that nourishes the body as well as protecting it. So here’s the rundown on what it does:
- By using Bethesda Sunscreen Soap in the shower or bath, it provides an invisible layer of sun protection which is great for everyday use.
- It has a minimum of SPF 10 to protect the skin from those bad UV rays beaming from the sun. It’s FDA approved which ensures protection from both UVA and UVB rays.
- Bethesda Sunscreen Soap carries over 50 vitamins and minerals to help support healthy skin. The benefits of having vitamin A, C, and E in a soap bar, provides the skin with powerful antioxidants. We all know how important antioxidants are with acne, cell and tissue growth, and several other skin benefits.
It utilizes 4 key ingredients which is also known as the “Power Four”:
- Aloe Vera Gel: anti-inflammatory/immunity booster
- Chlorophyll: cleanses/deodorizes
- Healing Balm of Gilead: soothes/disinfects
- Glycerin: “hydroscopic” moisturizer
Ok, so here’s my review:
I think you pretty much know how I feel about this soap. Why else would I do a giveaway.. Right? Well, I’m going to go a little more in depth with this soap review and say how much I LOVE IT. I am so glad I had the chance to try this soap. Honestly, it’s the best bathing soap I’ve ever used. I love the fact that it has sunscreen and 50+ multivitamins and minerals because overall, it’s promoting healthy skin. After using it, I was amazed of how soft and smooth my skin was and it felt so cleansed. No need to put on lotion afterward use. That’s how well it moisturizes. The smell is lovely and refreshing and I just can’t get enough of it. It also helped with my acne too.
Okay. So here’s the deal. This time I am giving away this soap bar to 2 lucky readers in my Bethesda Sunscreen Soap Giveaway. To enter, fill out form below. To learn more about Bethesda Sunscreen Soap and other Bethesda products, check out their site at www.bethesdaskincare.com
