When my daughter Ella Jane created our range of face wipes she knew they had to meet a list of specific demands: not only did they have to be easy to use and suit all skin types, she also wanted to use only high quality, organic ingredients and that the packaging and the wipes had to be made from recycled materials. On top of that, we both knew they had to have a multitude of uses.
USE OUR HEAL WIPES FOR AN AT-HOME FACIAL
Because our Heal wipes contain chamomile, rose and Echinacea they help to shrink inflamed blood vessels and tighten skin, all while cleansing. Keep them in the fridge and use as a face mask – apply a layer of Chamomile Hydrogel then place the wipe over the top. Leave on for ten minutes for plumped and hydrated skin.
For a more intensive treatment, use a thick layer of my Silver Bee Venom Mask before placing the wipe on top. Because the product can only go one way, it penetrates straight into the epidermis for an immediate anti-ageing effect.
Heal wipes are also perfect for those who suffer from eczema because they remove bacteria and boost the skin’s protective barrier. Keep a pack in your handbag and pat your skin throughout the day.
USE OUR REFRESH WIPES TO CONTROL OIL
Believe it or not, using a product that contains oil is actually really beneficial for those who suffer from oily skin because it stops your skin thinking it needs to produce any more. Refresh boasts peppermint and spearmint to minimise oil secretions, balance PH levels and refine pores. Because you’ll be cleansing your skin with a product that matches your natural oil production it’ll feel fully hydrated, rejuvenated and healthy. You can apply my Peppermint Hydrogel straight after using the wipes to waken and brighten skin.
Here’s my top tip for soothing tired eyes – cut two patches from the wipes and place them over your lids; lie back and relax for 20 minutes. You can also do this if you suffer headaches.
Refresh can also be used to ease those dreaded hot flushes during menopause because they cool skin, leaving you feeling instantly refreshed.
USE OUR RENEW WIPES AS AN ANTI-AGEING SAVIOUR
My favourite of the three wipes is Renew because they contain our anti-ageing elixir – bee venom ABEETOXIN® to brighten and rejuvenate as well as ease fine lines even around the delicate eye area.
Layered with one of my amazing moisturisers – even if you only have a sample or the scrapings at the bottom of a jar you still get all the benefits. Use either my innovative Age Defiance Cream or Black Bee Venom Mask and apply a small amount on your skin then place the wipe on top. For deeper lines, cut a little strip of the wipe and layer on top of my exfoliating Bee Polish, leave on for four minutes and rinse to keep the skin’s moisture content active for longer.
For a mini neck and jaw line lift, apply your moisturiser or mask in upward strokes then fold the wipe in half length-ways, pull tight and layer on top; leave for ten minutes before rinsing.
AND IF YOU ONLY HAVE A FEW MINUTES ...
If time is really short apply a small amount of cleanser to one side of your wipe and Hydrogel on the other to cleanse and tone in seconds. Alternatively, add a dot of each on the same side and wipe across your skin.
For a speedy hot compress place your wipe in a plastic container and microwave for 20 seconds (make sure it’s not too hot) and place over your skin for an instant beauty boost.
