Last holiday season, I recommended an upscale, minty-scented body wash from Absolis Patyka as the perfect gift for even the most hard-to-buy-for people on your holiday list. This season, I’ll be recommending the same. However, you might want to splurge a bit on two exceptional Patyka products, to naturally pamper your Summer-weathered skin, right now.
Patyka products, straight from the chic, Rue Saint Honore in Paris, are sophisticated and beautifully scented. Many of the beautiful scents are unisex, and delightful for a little splurge for your bathroom, or guest room. Patyka products incorporate hundreds of rare botanicals and forgotten formulas, using scientific innovation and natural and organic ingredients. Patyka’s line of organic skin care products are certified organic by ECOCERT, an independent board accredited by the European Union and the US Ministry of Agriculture. In addition, Patyka pays attention to Fair Trade practices, so the products are not just eco-friendly and healthy to use, they’re also socially responsible.
Patyka Precious Woods Body Oil
Summer sun and fun can dry out your skin, but Absolis Patyka Precious Woods Body Oil $64.95 8.4 fl. oz is a luxurious way to add a soothing, moisturizing balm after sun, or any time your skin needs some TLC. The sensual, unisex scent incorporates precious wood, which is an essential oil extracted from the bark of a tropical tree known for its ability to nourish and regenerate skin. Vetiver and Tonka bean, plus ylang ylang (an essential oil with a soothing and relaxing scent that is suitable for all skin types, but especially for dry and mature skin), make the scent warm and inviting, but not over-the-top, intense.
All you have to do is massage this glorious, non-sticky or greasy oil onto your skin wherever it needs it, prior to bedtime to nourish and moisturize, or after your bath or shower when your skin is still a little damp. Unlike many body oils, this one won’t transfer on your clothes as it absorbs quickly, and it will leave a tiny bit of scent on your skin to enjoy for a moment or two (you can still apply your favorite fragrance soon afterwards and it won’t’ compete). For those who need to know, this product is 100.00% Natural and 97.94 % Organic.
Patyka Mandarine Body Wash
Another little treat for Summer-weary skin, or just any time you want a lift, is Patyka Mandarine Body Wash. This gentle, non-drying-out bath and shower product creates a silky, pleasant foam. Its scent refreshes the body and stimulates the mind. $45.00 will net you 8.4 fl. oz. luxury body wash that contains Mandarin. This is an essential oil that has a light citrus scent, and is especially good for sensitive skin. You can use it in the shower, in the bath (it will foam), on your hands and face at the sink, or even on your hair, if you wish. for those who need to know this product is 99.4% Natural.
Both products come in apothecary-style clear plastic bottles with flip top lids and attractive labels. The outer cartons unfold like origami, and contain information about the products on the inside of the unfolded carton. They truly make a luxury statement, but yet they are good value — a little goes a long way.
If you can’t get to Paris, Patyka’s Absolis line is available online at various luxury online retail sites, and you can also visit the flash-y (pun intended, it is flash intensive) Patyka Web Site, to check out the other deliciously wonderful products they offer:
