Scents of Africa Forget the potent mosquito repellent and heavy-duty sunblock – this month we decided to indulge in some of Africa’s more sensual skin, body and aromatic delights. Here’s our round up of the best… soothing effect on the skin. It is anti-ageing, anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, promotes healthy skin, and relieves skin irritations such as acne and eczema. At Africology, it is believed that the best moments in life are the ones in which we feel connected to self in harmony with nature and all around us. It is for this reason that they have created the Moment of Gratitude package, which offers a sensory experience that aims to balance mind and body and in a special moment of indulgence. The package contains the Africology Chakra Candle, Body & Bath Soak, Blended Tea with Strainer, Shimmer Butter and Body Scrub. The Body & Bath Soak is packed with marula oil and is the perfect emollient, leaving the skin refreshed and hydrated. Experience a little ‘mind magic’ whilst enjoying the sanctity of bathing in the soft light and aroma of the Chakra Candle and sipping on the smooth, specially blended Exotic Tea. Finishing off with the Body Scrub and Shimmer Butter will leave you looking, smelling and feeling like the African goddess you always knew you could be. A great way to unwind after a long day, Africology’s Moment is sure to be your best. www.africology.co.za
