Moisturising Magic

Cleansing

Cleansing your skin with a gentle and effective cleanser twice a day is a critical part of any skincare regime. There’s no need to ever miss out on this step thanks to our two cleansers for bee-autifully glowing skin. Achieve instant vibrancy in just 30 seconds or enjoy a little luxurious pampering. You choose the best one for you.

If you're looking for speed and convenience, we recommend our Honey and Water Mint 3-in1 Cleansing Water to quickly and effortlessly remove makeup, cleanse and tone the skin leaving it refreshed and soothed - no water required!

If you prefer a slightly deeper cleanse, try our Honey & Propolis 2-in 1 Cream Cleanser with its pure muslin cloth. When combined with the cloth this creamy formulation will stimulate circulation, remove dead skin cells that sit on the surface of the skin leaving it dull and de-hydrated, remove all your makeup, and prepare your skin perfectly for your other skincare essentials.

Put your hands together

You express yourself through your hands every day, and they're often one of the first areas to show the signs of ageing. They often suffer the ravages of the elements and drying effects of regular hand washing, so take a few minutes to pamper your hands and give them the treat they deserve.

To get the very best from our everyday handbag essential Honey & Wild Flax Daily Hand Cream, apply a five pence piece sized amount to the back of your hands and rub them together to massage in this rich, nourishing formula. Work any residue into the palms of your hands and cuticles.

For a luxurious treat, upgrade to a real ‘hands on’ pampering experience with our Honey, Borage and Echium Intensive Hand Repair. Before bedtime, massage a generous pump of cream into both hands, working it into the cuticles, and gently massaging each finger and thumb as you apply. Then pop on a pair of cotton gloves to lock in the goodness and wake up to bee-autifully baby-soft hands.

Moisturising magic

The skin loses moisture from the outermost 'barrier' layer of skin (the epidermis), which is largely made up of oil (lipids: free fatty acids, ceramides) and water. In this oil and water mixture, the lipids regulate the water content so that when the skin loses lipids, the loss of water through the skin increases to many times more than normal. This is the beginning of skin de-hydration.

Both dry and oily skins suffer from an imbalance in moisturisation with dry skin types looking for a normalisation to skin affected mainly by UV damage, skin conditions, and lack of water consumption; and oily skin types looking for a normalisation against excess sebum production and flair ups.

A good balancing moisturiser such as our Honey & Wild Flax Moisturiser can help enormously in stabilising the skin towards a feeling of normality. Bursting with a combination of gentle yet effective ingredients which work in harmony to balance and protect against moisture loss, these include:

  • Naturally moisturising wild flower honey
  • Propolis renowned for its antibacterial and antioxidant properties
  • Natural source vitamin E to help prevent damage caused by free radicals
  • Camelina oil (flax oil), a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids work in harmony to balance and protect against moisture loss.
Bee-autiful lips

Keep your lips bee-autifully soft and smooth with these simple steps.

Our lips invariably end up reflecting the climate around us. Whether chapped due to cold, windy weather, or cracked from the summer sun, the lack of oil in our lips leaves us prone to lip ‘loss’ when what we actually want is lip ‘gloss’. To add to this, licking and chewing your lips will only makes matters worse by speeding up the natural moisture loss process and damaging the skin.

To get your lips in tip top condition remove any dead skin cells by applying a small amount of Honey & Propolis 2-in-1 Cream Cleanser to the damp muslin cloth and gently exfoliate the lip area. Alternatively brush lips gently with a soft, wet toothbrush. Then apply our Vanilla & Honey Lip Balm. This saviour for dry and chapped lips can be applied as often as you like without drying your lips and it’s pretty tasty too! Carry one in your handbag, in the car and pop one in your desk draw and reapply throughout the day!
