One of the best purchases I’ve made in 2023 was subscription boxes. A monthly box with a new theme, containing a variety of different products at an affordable price. The only subscription boxes I purchased last year was from small business Glow. Why? They delivered what I needed on a home fragrance, bath, body and skincare level so I didn’t need to look anywhere else. I’ve been delving into their New Year New You January Subscription Box and have started to use the Bath Oil that was included. So what is it like?
Why did I use this?
I need pampering! This colder season is making me feel tired and my skin dry. Rather than opting for a traditional bath soak or gel, I wanted to try this to see if it would be uplifting mentally and soothing on the skin physically.
What does this supposed to do?
Glow’s Bath Oil is designed to moisturise the skin while in the bath and not dry out skin while out of the bath. The fragrance is there to help with relaxation so overall this product should give an everyday/evening pampering experience.
Packaging
Glow’s Bath Oil comes in a small, plastic opaque bottle with a screw top lid. This is also boxed, so a great product to gift a bath lover.
Fragrance & Consistency
How this smells reminds me of a drink I have every morning, which consists of lemon juice, cinnamon and honey. This is incredibly similar in scent because it’s spicy and warming, has a citrus element to it and is slightly sweet. Not an overpowering mix of scents but noticeable and incredibly comforting. The consistency of this bath oil is what you would expect which is oil like, liquid and reasonably thin.
In the bath
I used half of the bottle under warm running water. It didn’t colour the water but it did make it slightly cloudy. No bubbles, just the smallest amount of foam. The fragrance I enjoyed because I found it wasn’t heady but strong enough to ‘be there’. It made me feel very cosy and relaxed in the bath and I found it very easy to unwind. The bath oil didn’t feel greasy on my skin but it did make my skin feel like there was a layer of something on it. It also clung onto the driest parts of my body which included my feet. I thought the oil in the water was going to be quite oily, but it mixed in really well and was quite light weight but it was obviously in it.
Just to note this didn’t make the bath particularly slippy and was very easy to clean the bath afterwards.
On my skin
When I got out of the bath I could feel the oil on my skin because it already felt moisturised without even applying a moisturiser! Not greasy, not sticky, not uncomfortable on the skin just very natural and hydrating. I gently patted my skin dry because I wanted as much of this oil on my skin as possible and placed my usual body moisturiser on top.
Recommended?
I loved using Glow’s Bath Oil. I waited to use this deliberately when I wasn’t in a rush and I wanted to give myself some relaxing, pampering down time which this helped to create perfectly. This isn’t a product to jump in and out of the bath quickly, it needs to be enjoyed and enjoyed it was. Lovely fragrance, great on my skin, didn’t irritate my highly irritable skin (which is a miracle!) and moisturised it beautifully. I only wish this was available in a bigger bottle!
