Are you Team Bath or Team Shower?
I do love a bath. Preferably with gorgeous products, a good book and a drink on the side. Luckily for me, I live in Germany and my love of bath time fits right in with the German approach to wellness. This is a country where people believe in the powers of bathing in all its forms.
Germans know that a good soak with the right products can reduce stress, prevent illness and promote well-being. One company that has put this concept at its heart is Dresdner Essenz.
They create a comprehensive range of bath and body care products but I adore the sprudelbad or bath bombs. One of the nicest things about living abroad is trying out new products I wouldn’t have stumbled across at home.
Before I even get to the product, a nod to the packaging. Each one features a scent sample so you can have a sniff and before you buy. Genius, in my opinion.
The bold floral images are eye catching and the fact that each product is sold in neatly sealed individual packets make these a welcome addition to my travel wash bag as well as my bathroom shelf.
The first product was the limited edition ‘ Harmony and Happiness’, a fresh and floral summer scent. As soon as I opened the packet, the scent was amazing; the whole bathroom as well as the bath water smelled divine.
The fragrance also lingered on my skin after my bath for a good while. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality and strength of the fragrance, given that these bombs are very budget friendly at about a euro an item. Talk about affordable luxury.
The second bath bomb ‘Warmth & Comfort’ did not disappoint either. For a start, it tinted my bath water the prettiest pink orange hue. This is classed as a Winter fragrance and I can see (or smell ) why. It is a very warm, floral scent. If you usually like fragrances of the Oriental family, this is one for you.
It’s a scent of comfort and warmth making it perfect for a nurturing evening routine in any season. And again, beautiful, long-lasting scent pay off.
Both of these products are vegan contain a combination of natural, nourishing ingredients and essential oils. My skin can tend towards the dry and intolerant, but my skin didn’t react to either of these products, nor did it feel dry or tight after using them.
I think the best way to judge a new product pose the question; would I repurchase? With both of these, the answer is a resounding yes, absolutely.
Sadly, Dresdner Essenz no longer delivers to the UK. The best way to buy is when in Germany, you’ll find these products in drugstores (such as Rossmans) and major supermarkets.
Have you tried any new products lately? Are there any products you shop for when travelling?
