I was thinking recently about what top tips I could give clients on how to prepare for their Boudoir Couture shoot. There is of course all the usual stuff like:

• drink loads of water
• get loads of sleep
• use loads of moisturiser

But if you’re a mad busy person (like me) them sometimes you forget or aren’t able to do some or all of the above.

We were in Dublin recently and I passed by one of my favourite stores, Lush, it’s one of those stores that you smell before you see it as you round the corner at the end of Grafton Street. Myself and his nibs popped in, he went straight for the Dragons Egg bath bomb as its one that gives him a relaxing buzz…. (weirdo).. I strolled through the store, inhaling the stunning sent and picking out my favourite purchases, such a relaxing buzz… (weirdo too)

A few days later as i was using said purchases i realised they are the perfect addition to your Boudoir preparation, but also for afterwards too. The two i want to pay particular attention to are Buffy & Angels on Bare Skin.

Now before i go any further… my skin is very sensitive (like myself 😛 ) and i’m prone to eczema, so there is a lot of body scrubs i can not use, actually most of them. So if i use something that gives amazing results and doesn’t aggravate my skin then i’m onto a winner! I also want to mention, in no way did Lush sway me with payment to write this but of course i would take any products as a thank you 😛

Buffy is a body scrub with a difference, it gently exfoliates while leaving a gorgeous silky feel to skin when dry, even after it’s first use. And if you’re in a hurry you don’t need to moisturise afterwards. So it saves time too, woohoo!

Angels on Bare Skin – of my good gawd, it’s truly like angels descended from heaven and gave you the gift of baby skin, wowzer! A gentle cleanser for your face that smells like you’ve stepped out of a spa.

All there products are made from Fresh ingredients and not tested on animals so you can cleanse and moisturise with confidence.

So from now on I’m going to recommend the above with my usual suspects:

• drink loads of water
• get loads of sleep
• use loads of moisturiser
• Scrub with buffy
• Heavenly skin with Angels on Bear Skin

You can check out their website https://uk.lush.com or head to their shops in Cork or Dublin. I once did a Lush4Limerick campaign a few years back but still no sign of them, tis alright I love the annual trip to Cork.
