With spring in its full glory, I can’t help but thinking ahead and see myself lying on the beach with the fabulous sensation of the sun on my skin. What a better way to prepare for summer than a little detox and pampering.

My husband gave me a lovely gift for my birthday, the latest Origins Ginger Incredible Spreadable Scrub and the Ginger Souffle Whipped Body Cream. I tried them at the week-end and the scrub is absolutely fantastic, it leaves the skin smooth even without lotion. The whipped body cream is so rich it gives your skin a great sensation of nourishment. The lasting ginger scent has a tangy and spicy touch that I love.

Reading about ginger I found that it has been used as a remedy for thousands of years, particularly in Asia, for its warming effect and ability to stimulate the body and improve energy levels.
