March seems like the ideal time to book a vacation, but with budgets tight these days, it’s not always feasible to blow a whole paycheck on airfare and spa treatments and a few nights in a hotel.
But you want to relax, so what can you do on the cheap?
We recently placed a small order of luxurious organic bath and body products from Beauty.com and spent the week giving them a test drive. Here’s what we recommend:
- John Masters Organic Citrus & Neroli Detangler: With a bright citrus scent and a full complement of hair-silkifiers, this conditioner is the best for working into freshly washed hair, then wrapping your locks up with a warm towel to let it all soak in.
- Beauty Without Cruelty Alpha Hydroxy Facial Cleanser: Organic botanical cleansers combine with alpha and beta hydroxy acids to exfoliate your skin and leave it soft and toned. The packaging may not be glamorous but the effects are. Massage in a mild moisturizer afterwards and watch yourself glow.
- Baxter of California Hydro Salve: This is technically a men’s product but with its unisex packaging and mojito flavor, you’re going to want to buy one for yourself.
- Dr. Andrew Weil for Origins Night Health Bedtime Bath Oil: This soothing herbal concoction is a rich blend of organic mandarin and lavender essential oils in a base of organic sunflower, safflower, jojoba, sweet almond, and olive oils. Add a splash to a hot bath and soak all stress away. This magical potion purports to lure you to sleep, and our experiment showed us it lives up to expectations. Packaging is recyclable too.
To get $10 off your purchase of $60 and free shipping, start your shopping throughthis link (good through the end of March). After redeeming that coupon, all four products will set you back $50.74. So go ahead and splurge small!
