Tropical teasers

Have you ever been to some far flung tropical place and wished you could bottle the smell of the exotic flowers? Well now you can! These products weren't always readily available in the UK, but now I see them popping up everywhere. I have been a huge fan for many years.

Hei Poa are beautiful, exotic and luxurious, body, hair and sun care products from Tahiti. The main base ingredient is pure Monoi which is basically refined coconut oil. The magic happens when the flower blossoms are added....

Monoi is moisturising and has great healing and restorative properties. All products have dual use and can be used on the skin and in the hair (we are already cutting down excess baggage!), and are paraben free. Yippee! They really smell like summer too. I am quite sensitive to strong smells and find them really yummy to wear on the skin.

Here are a couple of my favourites.

Monoi Body Butter £10 . This product nourishes, repairs and hydrates brittle hair and skin. Yummy!

Monoi beauty oil with pearlised gold £9. I Love this! It gives your tan a wonderful glow thanks to the golden mother of pearl. It really makes your skin shimmer and smells like heaven. Oh, and it helps to prolong the life of your tan too!!
