Organic wild rose beauty balm with muslin cloth, 40g for £23 by Neal's Yard

Containing 30% retinol-rich rosehip this clever little balm can be used as a nourishing balm or a cleanser. Tina reports "this was great for soothing my neck after a little too much time in the sun and I loved using it with the face cloth as a deep cleanser – really relaxing! It's a little too greasy to use as a day moisturizer but as a complexion restorer it's perfect. The lavender smell is wonderful too."
