CONQUER DRY WINTER SKIN WITH THE RITUALS OF BANYU

The Ritual of Banyu limited edition collection | Rituals

“Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it.” Confucius.


One of the downsides to living in London is that you can always count on rain and windy weather and this does not help to maintain healthy and radiant skin. Also, with almost 7 months of depressing cold and rain/snow a year I have to admit that I just can’t be bothered with like 1-10 steps of looking after my skin when I’m covered pretty much head to toe anyway. Aside of the weather, it’s hard fitting any skincare routine into my crazy hectic schedule and I often ignore it completely. Therefore it’s not a surprise that I have ended up with dry cracked skin and with summer just round the corner I feel like I need to improve my routine even if it’s just a little step towards the change.

When it comes to skincare I have a pretty short list and I’m very slow at growing it. I really need to like a product before it makes its way onto my list. I’m so happy that the pressure of looking younger is slowly being replaced with the desire to look rested and glowing. Not even Botox or fillers can give that desired dewy, luminous glow.  Only a thoughtful skincare regime can reflect the youthfulness that we feel inside and it reinforces the best version of how we look on the outside.

CONQUER DRY WINTER SKIN WITH THE RITUALS OF BANYU

Today I would like to talk about Rituals, the brand I have fallen in love with, love I would like to share with you all. Founded in 2000 by Raymond Cloosterman, Rituals is designed to help you slow down and find happiness in the smallest of things. Their passion is to turn everyday routines into more meaningful rituals.

The Rituals latest Banyu collection, inspired by an ancient Balinese water ceremony has conquered my heart and my skin.

Now grab a cup of latte, sit back and just imagine yourself on the beach in tropical Bali with this fresh, salty fragrance and enjoy the ride!

The Ritual of Banyu Foaming Shower Gel – Bali sea salt & Giant kelp 

I usually struggle to find enough time to have a bath, so this shower gel has been a life saver on a very heavy rotation. It smells amazing and lathers up into a bubbly dream! If you’re looking for a soothing scent to accompany your bath time rituals, the Balinese Sea Salt and Kelp Minerals is the way to go.

I don’t think body washes get better than this trifecta, lovely refreshing scent, prime hydrating and revitalising ingredients like kelp minerals, with a smooth texture. Best of all, I can see the benefits immediately and can conquer the harsh effects of winter on the skin.

The Ritual of Banyu Body Scrub – Bali sea salt & Giant kelp 

This glorious body scrub is exclusively reserved for my bath rituals. It’s based on a rich combination of Bali sea salt and Giant Kelp to gently and intensively remove dead skin cells and it does work! What I like about this product the most is that it also nourishes and energises the skin and this is exactly what I need to wake it up from the winter sleep!

The Ritual of Banyu Body Cream – Bali sea salt & Giant kelp 

This body cream is a dream with its rich, nourishing and cooling properties enriched with Balinese Sea Salt and Kelp.

Similarly to the scrub, the moisture-filled formula due to its high vitamin content with no silicones and parabens, nourishes my skin after each use and leaves a healthy glow.

This revitalising, soothing and refreshing cream is suited to any skin type and is a great after-sun alternative. I dare you to take a winter skin challenge and gain back control of dry, damaged skin.

The most significant change I’ve seen is that the texture of my skin is so much smoother. More importantly, it pushed me towards my goal of feeling confident with my bare skin.

The Ritual of Banyu Splash Mask – Bali sea salt & giant kelp 

This refreshing and awakening splash mask is fantastic! You only need 20 seconds to gently pat it into your skin. Hands up, even I struggle to find an excuse as to why I can’t use it. This mask is everything my skin needs, it adds radiance in seconds and its richness in various extracts make the skin visibly clear and balanced.

This facial mask combines the properties of purifying Sea Salt with the revitalising and hydrating properties of Kelp Minerals.

I also couldn’t resist myself from buying this gorgeous limited edition bottle of water with beautiful gemstones which enliven your water in a special way. Since ancient times, gemstones have been known for their unique energy charge. Whether it works or not, the gemstones look incredibly beautiful and they definitely add a touch of sparkle to you daily hydrating routine.

    First class article. I’ve been a fan of Rituals since I found their supple moisturising cream in my Mother’s dressing table as a small boy. I have found their products an effective method of reducing skin redness and tenderness caused by my earlier explorations into the self.

    • May 1, 2018 / 8:26 am

      i couldnt agree more. I discvered this brand a few years ago when I got a bit bored with Molton Brown and I have to admit that I’m very happy with all the products I have used so far and I have used a lot of them

    • May 1, 2018 / 8:30 am

I do love the suggestions and the brand that you feature here, as the packaging is beautiful and I think the body scrub would be a great addition for me . Thanks so much for this recommendation and this is a very beautiful post.

    Here in Spain one of the downsides is the intensive sun, so you really need to take care of the sunscreen just not to get the pigmentation! Also doesn’t help radiant glow! These products look amazing – haven’t tried this range yet!
