This week I'm obsessed with... Dr Teal's Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis Sativa) Collection!

Out of all the products I have tried lately with hemp oil (and don't they seem to be putting it in everything these days?!) this is by far my fave...

Dr Teals Hemp Seed Oil (Cannabis Sativa) Collection, for a soothing experience which includes:

Soaking Solution - 1.36kg - $8.98 - combines pure epsom salt with hemp seed oil (cannabis sativa) to help revitalize weary muscles, add silkiness to skin and help fall into a deep sleep; along with a blend of white thyme, cedarwood and bergamot essential oils to help create a soothing soaking experience that calms the mind and body providing relief from stress. 

 

Foaming Bath - 1000ml - $8.98 - with a unique bubbling formula that combines luxurious essential oils like white thyme, cedarwood and bergamot with pure epsom salt to soothe the senses, revitalize tense muscles, provide relief from stress while leaving you feeling refreshed and renewed; along with hemp seed oil (cannabis sativa) to moisture, nourish and soothe dry irritated skin. 

Not only does my skin look and feel great after using but best of all is the way it smells - if you are expecting hemp to have natural, hippie kind of smell - adjust your thinking - it's more like a really expensive spa (without the price tag)! The scent is also so relaxing, be prepared to do nothing useful for the rest of the day/night!

 

Available at Walmart and walmart.ca.

Detox your summer sins away with Dr Teal's Pink Himalayan!

All the terrible things you may have been doing over the summer - overindulging in cocktails, not getting enough sleep and getting way too much sun - builds up toxins in your body, not good - changing your lifestyle will help of course but so will bathing away some of those toxins with:

Dr Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak and Foaming Bath to hydrate skin while releasing toxins - when absorbed, the gently fragranced natural minerals open pores and cleanse skin.

In two formulas:

Dr Teal’s Pink Himalayan Mineral Soak - 1.36kg - $9.99 - restores and replenishes with pure, mineral rich epsom salt - eases aches and soreness from muscle pains and natural bergamot and sweet orange essential oils - helps  provide relief from stress. Just pour at least 2 cups of the minerals under warm, running bath water and relax for 20 minutes to soak away discomfort from sore muscles - or if you prefer to bubble:

Dr Teal's Pink Himalayan Foaming Bath - 1000ml - $9.99 - with all the same benefits of the mineral soak along with long lasting bubbles to gently cleanse. Just pour a generous amount under warm, running water for a relaxing bubble bath experience. 
 
They both have the same light scent, which I can't describe exactly except to say that it smells like a spa - so you can absolutely close your eyes and pretend your bathtub is in a high-end spa somewhere!
