Clarins Relax Bath Shower concentrate is a great little product as it’s good for the shower too. Packed with essential oils that cleanse and release their benefits in warm water. Camomile, basil, st Johns wort and valerian blend to produce a foam to rub on skin leaving it smooth and fragrant.
Also by Clarins in their signature Eau Dynamisante fragrance is their Shower Mousse that takes me back to my teenage years, packed with ginseng, aloe vera and more essential oils , this ph-neutral foam is a gentle cleanser that leaves skin supple and revitalised.
