It’s officially spring and Mother’s Day is fast approaching. If you’re still stuck for gift ideas to show your mum what she means to you why not give her a taste of summer.
That’s what the latest products from the La Source range at Crabtree & Evelyn reminded me of.
Formulated with restorative mineral salts and nutrient-rich seaweeds the range smells of the ocean, time on the beach and fresh, clean air. It totally lifted my spirits and reminded me of carefree summer days. Exactly what I needed during the last grey days of winter.
The La Source collection is designed to restore, condition and rejuvenate the skin from head to toe. Formulated with a blend of ingredients including underwater algae, mineral salts and seaweeds the products in this collection allow you to immerse yourself in spa-like rituals.
The products I tested were perfect for pampering myself with on a quiet night in.

Refreshing Body Mist
I soon worked through the full bottle. It smells fresh but exotic – think Bahamas, blue sea and sky, white sand. I kept the spray on my desk as I worked. A quick burst on my arms now and again woke me up and made me feel much more refreshed and alert. Try it for yourself. It features an anti-oxidant-rich green seaweed extract, and an amino acid blend to condition the skin leaving it soft and revitalised.
Botanical notes including sparkling citrus and green herbaceous tones are embraced by musk and fresh scents of peppermint.
£15 (120ml)
La Source Effervescent Sea Foam Foot Soak
A luxurious spa experience for beautifully revived feet. Featuring a refreshing marine blend of anti-oxidant-rich green seaweed extract and purifying brown algae extract. Pour the contents of one packette into a foot tub filled with warm water and it quickly foams and bubbles up. The citric acid acts as gentle exfoliator and the mineral-rich dead sea salts leave your feet soft and fragrant. Great for when you’ve been on your feet all day.
