I was recently asked to review some handmade soap from Valley Mill. They offer a wide range of natural products such as soap, soy candles and gorgeous Welsh slate products. You can order from their website or visit the shop which is based in Neath, South Wales. Funnily enough this is where my husband is from, and his parents and sister still live in Neath. I will definitely be taking a visit to the shop next time we head down to South Wales.
I received 2 soap products, which arrived beautifully packaged. Everything about the packaging felt natural whilst still retaining a luxury feel to it. As soon as I opened the box, I was met with the most wonderful fragrance. We had been sent the Bergamot and Basil and also the Tea-Tree and Witch Hazel soaps.
As my son was suffering with the usual teenage spots, I gave him the Tea-Tree soap to try. After using it for a few days, I noticed his spots had actually started to disappear and his complexion was clearer. He said the soap felt nice on his face, and he has been using it daily since I received it. I will definitely buy him some more instead of his usual face wash. With it being 100% natural and hand made, I know its going to be kinder to his teenage skin.
This left the Bergamot and Basil bar for me to try out. I loved the smell of the soap, which I thought had a liquorice smell to it. The soap lathered up quickly and the smell really lingered on your hands after using it.
I use liquid hand soap but I will definitely be switching to Valley Mill soaps from now on. They are priced at £4.00 which I think is good value considering they are natural and hand made.
Thank you to Valley Mill for supplying me with 2 bars of soap. All words and opinions are my own.
I love handmade and “proper” soaps. Will look these up, thank you!
Definitely handmade soaps for me from now on. So much nicer x
Just read another review of these and thought they looked great – love the sound of witch hazel and tea tree. Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested
The witch tree has definitely cleared up my sons spots. Thank you for the comment x
Really lovely. Pretty packaging too 🙂 Love handmade and unique items like this. Thanks for sharing, will check this out. Jess xxxx
I always think they look so much nicer in the bathroom rather than a standard bar of soap. I will definitely use them again x
