ila Spa skincare is a 100% natural, chemical free skincare range for face, body and complete well-being. An ancient Sanskrit word for ‘Earth’, ila reflects faith in the power of nature as the source of real wellness.
Founder Denise Leicester’s vision was to create a range of highly potent and sacred products, which channelled the raw remedial power of Nature, using her most ancient and purest sources of energy – plants, flowers, and herbs – and proving that results-driven products and spa treatments can go hand-in-hand with the highest standards of natural and ethical integrity.
It took two years to find the right type of Roses to use, sourced from India and wild harvested at dawn for the highest vibration by artisan producers; the petals of 38 flowers are used to produce just one drop of oil.
But what makes ila different is not just that the products are created in a meditative environment by hand in the Cotswolds using unsurpassed natural ingredients and minimal processing, nor that the company supports tribal communities, villages and farmers all over the world.
What makes ila different is that every product is imbued with a very strong intent, an intent to nurture way beyond the surface of the skin.
“What I hope is that those who use ila products at home start to feel a real sense of daily healing and fulfilment, and that those who try our spa treatments experience true transformation. Throughout the world million of pounds are spent on beauty and cosmetics, but I believe much of this is due to an inadequacy – a lack of deeper nourishment. ila really strives to provide this – to deliver soul sustenance, heart nurturing and a tender relaxation of the central nervous system. Never has the need been greater for this sort of gentle care.”

I’m a light sleeper and often find it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. I tend to wake up easily and frequently which means I don’t enter the deeper levels of sleep.
I know all too well that not getting enough sleep is bad for your health so I was really keen to try this out.
To use: as your final liquid intake of the day mix 3 -4 drops with a small glass of water, or alternatively place 4 drops under the tongue.
The first night I tried it out I didn’t know what to expect – but before I knew it I was out like a light. I mixed 4 drops with a small amount of water. It is alcohol-free which is great and has a slightly sweet taste.
I actually now prefer placing it directly under my tongue as it absorbs quicker and helps me drift off naturally. The quality of my sleep has without doubt improved. I’m now able to fall asleep quickly, stay asleep and better yet enter the deeper levels of sleep.
It’s great to experience a blissful night’s sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and revitalised the next morning. Definitely going to be a staple for me.
Have you tried any of these products from ila Spa? I’d love to know your thoughts.
