8 gifts for sensualists

We’ve compiled eight enticing gifts to awaken the senses from body lotions and scrubs to innovative sexual treats and relaxation-inducing gadgets.  Enjoy!

Eyecicle –  £150.00

eyecicle 2

We all have girlfriends who complain about their dark bags or crow’s feet. It’s not surprising considering the skin around our eyes is unbelievably, ten times thinner than the rest of our face.

Beauty expert and aromatherapist Ada Ooi, who is the founder of the award-winning 001 Skincare brand states: `Our eyes are often the first place to show signs of ageing, yet it’s the one area we tend to neglect the most.`

Well, now we have a timeless facial treatment dedicated to the eye area which can be easily used at home. Eyecicle is the £150.00 artisan glass Temperature Conditioning beauty device that you pop into the fridge for 30 minutes and then use as a massage tool to roll, point and swipe on the seven different pressure points around your eyes. It comes with a full guide to using it to massage your eyes back to de-puffed beauty.

New research shows that our skin ages when our skin’s surface hits 37 degrees plus, which happens often due to exposure to office lights, light generated from computer screens, UV radiation and heat radiation, leading to skin inflammation and thermal ageing.

Temperature Conditioning combats this problem by decreasing our temperature to 29 degrees which makes our blood vessels immediately expand and contract, stimulating blood circulation.

The coolness and acupressure motions activated by the Eyecicle stimulates blood flow and sends nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells around the eyes which flush out toxins and increases metabolism needed for skin cell regrowth and renewal.

You will be left with plumper, smoother and brighter skin around the eyes. So, say goodbye to puffy eyes and dark bags and hello to the brighter and firmer days in 2015.

Elle Macpherson Wet and Dry Brush – £23.95

wet dry brush 2

This set is essentially four gifts in one because it includes four different exfoliating components so that you can focus on the areas you want (or need) to the most. The head rotates itself, essentially exfoliating and massaging your body, so there’s no need to tire your arms out.

Following last year’s success with beauty gadgets, Elle Macpherson produced the Wet and Dry Body Brush explaining `A key part of my regime is exfoliation`, and no wonder considering it increases circulation, removes dead skin cells and helps renew them; great benefits for any person.

The four different brushes included are a pumice stone, cactus dry brush, loofah, and a facial cleaning brush meaning you can exfoliate your body top to bottom, indefinitely, for £23.95

The pumice stone originates from volcanic rocks and is generally used to remove hardened dead skin from the heels and bottom of the feet.

Cactus dry brushes, which are made from the firmest bristle, help remove toxins, reduce the appearance of cellulite, renew skin cells and boost circulation.

Loofah’s are made from the fibrous properties found in the Luffa cylindrica plant and removes dead skin cells.

A facial cleaning brush is used to remove oil and dead skin cells, producing more collagen to lead to firmer skin.

Since it’s waterproof, it’s even usable in the shower and bath, so go ahead and pamper yourself or a loved one to healthy and radiant skin.
