Advantages: bubbly, interestingly pampering scent, good body wash! Disadvantages: may be slightly too aromatic for some, possibly too girly to appeal to men?
...I never actually bought this, I sort of acquired it! Some time ago, in Sainsbury's, my mum had decided she was fed up with the soap getting soggy in the shower soap holder and, since the Imperial Leather handwash was on offer, we somehow managed to end up with a buy-one-get-one-free on both types of product! (The other shower gel in question was the far more eye-catching bright icy blue Icelandic Spa one, but that was used up before I had chance to sample it.) So, for variety, we also went for the cream-ivory coloured Japanese Spa shower gel . . . and then my dad decided he couldn't get used to body wash instead of soap - he's not the kind of dad you'd buy toiletries for at the best of times! - and my mum isn't really a high-maintenance person in the bathroom either. Therefore, they finished the blue shower gel and the offer was open to...
Advantages: Not as expensive as other spa's and they're nicely decorated. Disadvantages: Why can't I afford to come here every day?!
... What is Aqua Sana?
Aqua Sana is a chain of spa's, there are 4 Aqua Sana spa's in England and each of them are situated at a different Center Parcs. You can visit the spa whilst on holiday at Center Parcs, or you can just visit the Aqua Sana spa for the day, or an overnight stay. Full details on the soa's and prices are available at www.aquasana.co.uk
Each Aqua Sana spa has 14 spa experiences boasting the widest selection in the UK, and of course there are the usual selection of treatments to choose from haircuts and pedicures to massage's and facials.
I personally prefer to go for a spa day without any of the treatments as the spa itself is a very relaxing place and not too badly priced considering the prices of some the spa's in the UK!

Review of Aqua Sana Spa
Advantages: wonderful massage and facial Disadvantages: intituional feel, poor general facilities.
...My husband and I went for the spa day which included a thalassotherapy session, a massage and a facial at Champneys Springs in Leics. I was not impressed by the building and the internal environment - long corridors with lots of people wondering around in write robes gave it an institional feel and the buildings were ugly and sprawling. The massage and facial we both agreed were wonderful and personalised and thalassotherapy pool was pleasant enough though I wouldn't pay for it separately. The shower rooms toilets had a mildewy smell. The gym was small and steamy. The coffee was awful and all other drinks (not tap water) had to be paid for. Lunch was buffet of salad though a freshly cooked wrap was offered - basic (Compare this to the wonderful 3 course lunches at Eden Hall). I thought it had little to offer if you didn't have any...
Advantages: indulgent alternative to everyday soap, appealing fragrance Disadvantages: slightly drying on the hands - could be too much for sensitive skin
...say it looked more feminine than masculine. Topped with the red ribbon Imperial Leather logo, the words "Japanese Spa" are printed entirely in lower case plum-purple letters and underneath a cropped, graphic-looking floral shape in pink and pale green is finished off with simple flower shapes and a figure that looks like it is from the Japanese alphabet, so again there is quite a pronounced feeling of "delicacy". As each bottle holds 300ml I think it has lasted fairly well considering it must be getting used about four times a day.
I'm not sure what I'd expect a spa in Japan to smell like but I certainly think the highlight on the front of the bottle telling me that it contains green tea, rice milk and jasmine plants the suggestion of an oriental atmosphere in the mind. Having just washed my hands I am now sitting here smelling them (yes...
...I was incredibly spoilt last Christmas when I discovered that my lovely husband's present to me was an 'Essential Escape' day at Nirvana Spa. I was thrilled to bits but due to such a hectic life wasn't actually able to take it up until just recently, although luckily, all gift vouchers can be used any time up to a year.
Let me tell you a little bit about Nirvana Spa itself first. It is the most serene, tranquil place on earth (or at least in Berkshire)! It is also quite exclusive as it is incredibly pricy (more about that later). It has a number of different pools including a hot hydrotherapy spa pool with lots of different jets which work on all the different parts of your body, and both fitness and relaxation pools. There is a small gym, treatment rooms for all different types of massages, hand treatments etc, and a lovely...

Review of Nirvana Spa
...I first tried Temple Spa Peace Be Still in a hotel. I was staying at the Trafalgar in Piccadilly Circus (a five star hotel and part of the Hilton group), and this is the range that they have in the bathrooms.
This cream can be used on both the face and body and is meant to calm and 'settle' the skin. It has a beautiful fresh smell - it contains essential oils (coriander, lemon and nutmeg- this may sound an odd mix, but the result is delicious) - and as such avoids the chemically smell of some body tonics, and the overly sweet smell of some of the fruit scented ones on the market.
It sinks in really quickly, faster than any other body lotion I have used, but my skin felt smoother and softer straight way. I would say that if you like the feeling of having put on moisturiser and prefer a slight residue on the skin, this may not be...
Advantages: nice hotel in lovely village with very nice food and generally friendly staff Disadvantages: lack of spa treatments available and shockingly rude Duty Manager
...I booked a one-nght spa break for my sister and I for her 40th birthday for £200 (it was a 2-1 from lastminute.com). When we arrived we were told that there were no treatments available, including the one we'd paid for as part of our package. That could only be provided at 10.30am the next day - with a check out time of 11am. As we'd already made plans to be somewhere at 11.30 we couldn't take that up anyway. The spa Manager was a little off when we expressed our disappointment, but this was nothing compared to the Duty Manager who was extremely rude when my sister complained. She was shouting and very aggressive, basically saying that because we'd booked through lastminute.com we were second class guests. At one point my sister had to ask her to stop pointing at her and she also told us to 'Call the authorities, call the police if you...
Advantages: Smells and feels great Disadvantages: None
...and will help you to enjoy your showers.
Currently, Imperial Leather have released a number of different limited edition shower crèmes and gels, for example, Hawaiian Spa, Tahitian Retreat, Icelandic Spa and Indian Spice. They have been out for a while now, so must be selling well. I hope that they continue to sell them as I enjoy using the products, but as they are limited edition, there are no guarantees to how long they will be on the shelf for.
I would recommend this product to all those that enjoy showering and like using products which smell nice....
Advantages: Smells delish! Disadvantages: Only limited edition
...I don't have baths very often as I'm more of a shower person, but sometimes I love nothing more than a soak in the bath with a good book and glass of wine to help me relax.
When I'm in the bath I love a gorgeous smell and lots of bubbles, and when I saw Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Bath on offer for £1 for a 500ml bottle a few months ago in Asda, I thought I'd give it a go.
This particular Imperial Leather bath foam is a limited edition bottle, with green tea, rice milk and jasmine. According to the bottle:
The Green Tea is a powerful anti-oxidant.
The rice milk is caring and gentle.
And the Jasmine is relaxing and soothing.
The bath foam is made by Cussons, and has a skin friendly pH, is mild enough for the whole family, has been dermatalogically tested, and is 100% soap free.
The bottle is in the typical...
Advantages: Another good quality product from NuSkin!! Disadvantages: No
...This is the complimentary product for the famous Galvanic Spa system. I use it regularly to revitalize my skin and improve radiance of my complexion.
Each pack contains 4 vials of pre-treatment gel and 4 vials of treatment gel, enough for 4 course of treatment. I do like the packing as it makes it so easy to use and carry around. You can just discard the vial after use, no need to transfer any liquid or close any bottle cap etc. You use the gel with the spa machine using a circular action to massage the face.
Let me just summarize some of the benefits of the gels:
Galvanic Spa Pre-Treatment Facial Gel:
Removes impurities, allowing pores to breathe.
Soothes and conditions the skin.
Galvanic Spa Treatment Facial Gel:
Facilitates recovery from stress; promotes cellular energy.
Skin regenerative, spa-like results in...
