It’s that time of year again when the clocks have changed and it’s dark (and often miserable) outside. This is when bath oils become your best friend. The perfect indulgent, well-deserved way to unwind at the end of the day.
I’ve tried quite a few over the years (the REN Moroccan Rose Bath Oil remains a long-time favourite), but today I want to tell you about my most recent discovery – the Emma Hardie Moringa Luxury Bath & Shower Oil – and also give the Omorovicza Budapest Bath Oil an honourable mention.
So, what makes this product so special? It’s the fact that it’s three-in-one. As the name suggests, you can use it as a bath oil or apply it before hopping into the shower. The Emma Hardie website also says it can be used as a dry body oil, something I haven’t tried yet, but plan to as the weather gets colder.
As a bath and shower product, I find it leaves my very dry skin soft and nourished. The signature scent, a blend of orange, neroli, mandarin, jasmine and rose essential oils, is beautiful. It’s perfectly balanced: not too strong, not too subtle.
Overall, if you’re after a luxurious product in a glass bottle with lovely packaging that won’t break the bank, the Emma Hardie Moringa Luxury Bath & Shower Oil is a great choice. At £38 for 200ml, it’s excellent value for a high-end bath oil, in my opinion.
If you fancy taking it up a notch, Omorovicza is my go-to. I bought their Budapest Bath Oil for my husband last Christmas, a gorgeous blend of rosemary, sage, geranium, and chamomile. They’ve recently updated the design to a cleaner, sleeker look, making it even more beautiful. It feels like the next best thing to a trip to the Budapest thermal spa, all in the comfort of your own bath. Just be prepared to splurge, as it’s £56 for 100ml.
I’d love to know what are your favourite bath oils? I’m always happy to try new ones.
