Therapi - Rose Otto Honey Gel Cleanser

As many of you already know, we at The Amazing Blog have a bit of a penchant for bees. Their vital contribution to nature’s equilibrium and their ability to produce a plethora of natural ingredients make them, in our humble opinion, the most remarkable of insects. One of their coveted creations, honey, has had a big hand in the making of one of our favourite beauty brands, Therapi. We have previously reviewed and loved the range here, but today I want to tell you about their magnificent Honey Gel Cleanser, which I was persuaded to try.

I must explain, I’m not the sort of girl who ‘washes’ her face. Perhaps it’s my loathing of the hard London water or my fear of getting that unpleasant tightening effect. I’m strictly a cream cleanser and toner kinda girl. End of. However after meeting Tanya Hawkes (the founder of Therapi), she very gently coaxed me into trying their Rose Otto Honey Gel Cleanser, promising me that it wouldn’t dry out my skin – and who was I to say no? Therapi pride themselves in their ability to produce quality, organic skincare, and their simple collection of products provides a no-nonsense approach that we at The Amazing Blog are hugely appreciative of. This Rose Otto Honey Gel Cleanser is a fantastic natural way to clear away daily grime. A golden elixir that has plenty of slip when diluted with water, you very gently massage into the skin and then wash away. And Tanya was right that, unlike other gel cleansers that I’ve tried, it truly didn’t leave my skin feeling tight and stretched at all. Its combination of natural and beneficial ingredients (yukka extract for removing impurities, honey to nourish, and rose otto to rejuvenate) left my complexion feeling clean, supple and fresh.

Housed in sophisticated white glass bottle with pump, it was a dream to use and has been part of my morning shower routine. I think it will be a long time until I’m out of the honeymoon phase with the Rose Otto Honey Gel Cleanser. It is available to buy at Being Content, here for £25.

Therapi Honey Skincare

We welcome any beauty product that contains honey with open arms here at The Amazing Blog, so you can imagine our excitement when we came across the Therapi Honey Skincare range at Camexpo recently. Everything about the brand was inviting, the name, the packaging and the lovely team behind it.

The product design and packaging has a very luxurious look, with a beautiful, stylish blend of rose, white and a shimmering gold. The bottles and containers are just as elegant, and we would proudly display them in our bathroom for guests to see. Tanya Hawkes, the founder of Therapi, was a beekeeper for 25 years prior to creating this company, and learnt everything there was to know about the way honey can help skin imperfections. The Therapi team spent three years researching and developing the products, ensuring the healing, nourishing and moisturising properties were the best that they could be.

With a little help from the girls at Therapi Honey Skincare, I chose some things from the range which would be the most beneficial to my skin type. Tanya recommended the Ultra Radiance Cream, which has enriching benefits as it is filled with anti-oxidants and nutrients, ensuring skin looks radiant and beautiful. Something that stands out about this brand is how rich in smell and texture all their products are. This is especially true for the Radiance Cream. I found this cream perfect for night time use, and I could feel it working on my skin from the get go. It was a relief to wake up with moisturised skin, almost as if I’d had a facial whilst sleeping!

I will definitely be using Therapi in my daily routine from now on. The Hydrating Facial Toner was great too, I used this after my shower and it left my skin looking really refreshed and like the Ultra Radiance Cream, the Toner had a wonderful fragrance.

If you want to browse the range and get your hands on some of these brilliant, honey filled goodies then you can find them on the Therapi website. The Radiance Cream retails for £30, and the Toner is £25.
