In my opinion The Sanctuary just pips Soap and Glory to the post of my favourite skincare brand to be sold at Boots and http://www.boots.com/
So many of their products have become daily and weekly staples I wanted to show you them all at once. It's rare for me to like so many products from the same brand. I am not saying every single one is amazing in the entire range, but these are all products that I use all the time and repurchase.
The Body Scrub £2.29 for mini - is a good everyday scrub, the Microdermabrasion Body Renewal £8.99 is perfect for removing those remnants of fake tan that hang around, for your ankles, backs of arms and bum and thighs and it really does help refine the skin and make it super soft without being too scratchy. You use this before showering though so don't scrub as if you are sandpapering yourself, even though the white toothpaste looking paste doesn't appear to have any grains as soon as you start rubbing you will definitely feel them, they are just tiny and very densely packed in this paste. As you can see it's a bit messy around the lid, sorry!
The Warming Microbrasion Scrub has been one of my favorite beauty items since it came out. I dabbled with the St Ives version but came straight back to this as it is miles (my opinion). It's by The Sanctuary Spa which are a range of spa style facial skincare products that are really reasonably priced and for me, give great results. It only costs £5.00!! and comes in a very spa-like white tube which I really like as you can cut off the end when it's nearly finished to scoop out all of the product so there isn't any wastage.
This scrub is like a cross between a microdermabrasion scrub and a warming face mask, my skin looks so pepped up and bright after using and it doesn't hurt my skin at all to use this. It says on the back that it is not suitable for sensitive skin but it works fine on me - maybe test a bit in store before purchase to see if you react. But as I say it has never caused me a problem and I buy it over and over again, it's amazing!
The Ultra Rich Body Butter is a very generous 300ml tub which costs £9.99 (I do tend to buy all of these products when they are on offer like 3 for 2). The butter is thick to look at but when you apply it's pretty thin, it sinks in really quickly and while I am not too sure on the 24 hour moisturisation it certainly lasts all day on me! No scaly shins or dry elbows when I use this. The scent is the same as all Sanctuary products, it's not as nice as some others but it does such a good job and I don't dislike the scent.
The Nourishing Lip Balm £3.99 is basically a nicer version of vaseline with a delicious passion fruit scent that is great for using before bed in a thick layer as a lip treatment or just good for slinging in your handbag. I am not saying it's my favourite ever but I really enjoy using it.
Do love any products from The Sanctuary?

The microdermabrasion scrubs both sound great, I am not a huge fan of the perfume of the sanctuary products but I am thinking that the scrubs would probably be fine. I do like their day cream with spf (doesn't really have a scent), I forget what it's called now, but that's lovely. Great post! xx
i love the sanctuary products. i think they're a little bit of luxury which is nice to have at home :) great post xx
I love Sanctuary products too....my favourite is the "dry oil spray" really nice and quick to apply post shower in the morning and doesnt leave the skin greasy like some oil sparys...also smells fab...x
Never tried this brand but I will definitely check it out now - been looking to branch out from Soap and Glory body scrubs, I love them but I want something different.
