As the buzz for the Rio Olympic Games reaches its peak ahead of its opening ceremony later today (5 August), British-based skincare brand Elemis has revealed a timely press release featuring UK gold-medal hopeful Jessica Ennis-Hill.

The promotion revealed that the star heptathlete will be using Elemis products as part of her Olympic routine and includes a personal endorsement from her.

Ennis-Hill said: “I plan to pack Elemis Aching Muscle Super Soak in my bag for Rio – hoping there is a bath in the Olympic Village.”

The muscle soak incorporates extracts of birch, juniper, clove, Alpine lavender, wild thyme and blue chamomile which are combined with sea salt to help warm the muscles and recharge the body.
