How could I resist Voya?

The seaweed used in the products is hand harvested from the breathtakingly beautiful, wild Atlantic coast in the North West of Ireland – one of my favourite spots in the whole wide world.

And what a great back story. The range was inspired by sailors who would bathe in warm baths full of freshly cut seaweed to treat their ailments. The Walton family, the people behind the new line, have scientifically harnessed the healing properties of seaweed and created Voya, a luxury organic and therapeutic product and treatment range.

Their research shows that seaweed is anti-cellulite, anti-aging, cleansing and toning, gives relief from many skin problems due to its high concentration of minerals as well as vitamins A, B, C and E. It can provide relief from the painful symptoms of rheumatism and arthritis as well as reducing tension, improving circulation, relieving allergies and congestion, treating Psoriasis, Eczema, Dermatitis and Acne, restoring tone and vitality and can help to cleanse and detoxify.

The Voya range includes products for the bath, body, hair and home. Our favourite is the Lazy Days seaweed bath (£15 for 500g) which helps against ageing, energizes your mind, leaves you with beautifully smooth skin and, best of all, it’s so natural and nourishing you can use it to fertilise your garden when you’ve finished with it.

Voya products and treatments are now available at Six Senses Spa, Canary Wharf, The Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge, Bedruthan Steps Hotel in Cornwall and online at www.voya.ie
