Not too long ago I reviewed Bee Good’s NectaPerfecta Beautifying Mask, a multi-usage enzyme treatment mask for the face and body made with British beeswax. Bee Good has a number of other natural-based products in its range and one I’ve been testing for about six weeks is the Honey & Camelina Facial Exfoliator*.
It’s a gentle creamy (almost oat-like) scrub to exfoliate, hydrate and calm the skin and suitable for all skin types particularly dull and congested.
With the recent news on the government pledging to ban the use of plastic microbeads in cosmetics and toiletries by next year, fortunately this ethically-sourced product contains milled lavender flowers to lift and exfoliate dead skin cells.
The other ingredients are Wheatgerm oil to soothe and moisturise dry skin, British propolis to help balance problematic skin and camelina oil (which is packed full of omega fatty acids) to protect and nourish. It’s also free from parabens, synthetic colour, mineral oil, silicone and SLS/SLES so no foaming and certainly no harm to the skin especially if you are very sensitive.
I’ve been using it twice a week in the evenings after cleansing, washing off with warm water though a wet flannel can also be used. Skin looks smoother and refreshed with no irritation experienced
A 50ml tube of this costs £10.50 and is available from 100 Waitrose branches nationwide, The Hut Group, LoveLula.com, bath & Unwind and selected independent stores.
