Skinvelop Body Balm (and cleanser, toner, moisturiser, eye therapy and soap samples)

I noticed on Bespoke Therapies & Skincare's Facebook page that Jean was developing a new body balm and was selling 30g try me sizes for £8 including P&P.  Jean said she also pop in some samples* for me to try.


The body balm is gorgeous!  It has a gel-balm like texture which melts into the skin leaving it super-moisturised (I'm so sad I've finished it!).  It's also good for healing scars and burns.  Scented with Rose Geranium and Patchouli Essential Oils along with Certified Organic Aloe Vera, Coconut, Argan, Rosehip, Avocado and Pumpkin Seed Oils with Shea and Cocoa Butters.  Full size will cost £16.00 for 200g (£3 P&P).

Of the samples* sent I absolutely adore The Cleanser (full size 120ml - £8.50).  I think it is the best cleanser I've ever used. It is great for removing waterproof eyeliner and mascara, and leaves no film over the eyes.  Simply massage onto dry skin and remove with a warm cloth.  This one is on my ever expanding wish list!

The Toner (full size 100ml - £7.00) made with a minimum of 25% Certified Organic Aloe Vera, Witch Hazel, Rosehip Oil, with Lavender and Roman Chamomile Essential Oils.  An effective toner but I was put off by the scent.  So probably wouldn't buy this full size.

The Moisturiser (full size 50ml - £10.50) a ph balanced moisturiser made with Certified Organic Argan Oil and Aloe Vera.  With essential oils of Damask Rose and Frankincense.  A light cream which evens out skin tone and fine lines, smells great and feels really nice on the skin.  Apply morning and night after toning.

The Eye Therapy (full size 10ml - £8.50) an eye serum which smooths out fine lines and brightens dark circles.  Simply pat on as often as required.  I love the tightening and cooling feeling around the eye area when applied.

Finally, I was sent a sample of Shea Butter & Aloe Vera Soap - which is really gentle on the skin and lightly scented.

Really lovely products and such reasonable prices too.

Skinvelop Intensive Rose Night Balm


Skinvelop is a skincare range developed by Jean at Bespoke Therapies & Skincare. I got in touch with her on Twitter to ask if I could buy a "try me" size of the Intensive Rose Night Balm.  I paid £6 including P&P for approximately 10g and Jean sent me a free soya wax Grapefruit & Patchouli tealight.

The Intensive Rose Night Balm is gorgeous! I love rose scented products - this is a rich cream made with Shea Butter, Argan and Avocado Oils.  It deeply nourishes your skin while you sleep and smells amazing.  It melts into the skin leaving it feeling deeply nourished.

Jean, a Clinical Aromatherapist began experimenting with products to use on her own skin which lead to her starting her own business.

Hand made, ph balanced, made using ethically sourced ingredients and essential oils.  The whole range contain three core ingredients - aloe vera for cell renewal and for skin softening, Coconut Oil for essential fatty acids and Argan Oil for Vitamin E and for anti-ageing properties.


The soya wax candle is lovely - lightly scented with grapefruit and patchouli.  I'm definitely keen to try the Geranium & Patchouli ones next.

All products are hand-made in small batches and contain no parabens or preservatives.  You can view the whole range of products here.  I'll definitely be re-purchasing this gorgeous cream which makes my skin glow and look healthy and radiant.  Have you tried any of Jean's products?
