Mio Liquid Yoga hands down gets the best named product of the year prize! Liquid Yoga – I love it. Described as a restorative bath soak, it’s the bathing equivalent of sucking an extra-strong mint. I totally get that it can give you a complete mind-sweep because it’s bracing and embracing at the same time.
The formula contains liquid Epsom salts of which I’m a big fan of for easing away aches and pains – it really does seem to do the trick, so those, along with a slug of Arnica take care of achy bits. Obviously, you could just use straight Epsom salts (from any chemist) but then you wouldn’t get the yoga bit – a huge slug of spearmint, cypress, lavender, mandarin and chamomile. Mio Liquid Yoga also contains Murumuru Butter so skin doesn’t feel tight when you get out of the water. It’s £26 for a 200ml bottle, so personally, it’s priced at ‘treat’ level, but oh, what a treat.
The only thing I’m not really sold on is the ‘slimming’ element of Mio – with this range, it’s disguised more as ‘fitness’ thing, but a waist slimming lotion and bust firmer are reinforcers of poor body image and putting cream on the bits you aren’t happy with is a bit like sticking a plaster on a cut – it won’t cure the cut or the cause, but it will make you feel like you’ve done something about it.
There is something very weird about the bottle though – it doesn’ t want to photograph straight and just when I was really berating myself for being a bit rubbish at pictures (which I am), I notice it’s also a little skew-wiff on the SpaceNK website. You can find it HERE.

‘ it won’t cure the cut or the cause, but it will make you feel like you’ve done something about it.’ And that’s precisely the problem. You might have spent £26 on a ‘Mio’ product but you haven’t done anything about it.
murumuru butter, em…what’s that?
This sounds amazing actually. £26 seems a lot though for what’s essentially a bubble bath…
Well, I don’t usually get involved in the great and good blog debates, but this one is just too irresistible! As the women behind Mio, creating skincare for women just like ourselves, we feel very responsible for our ‘voice’ and attitude in this crazy beauty world. I truly believe that we are one of the more honest skincare brands and we work hard to make the best active-packed formulas possible and present them to women with confidence-building positivity. I applaud JC of BBB for calling beauty brands out on misclaims and spin. Beauty products should make you feel good about yourself – not worse. Everything Mio comes with a Fit Skin Facts booklet that gives you all the nutrition, application, exercise and motivational tips to get you on a fit skin track. Nothing is a ‘miracle cream’, we all know that. But really good skincare can make a huge difference to the tone, texture, bounce, health and energy of your skin. And that makes you feel good. No question.
