Treat yourself to a fabulous moisturiser – in a rather good cause

We've raved about Temple Spa Repose Aromatherapy Resting Cream before on this site – just read on. But there's a really, really good reason to try it out for yourself right now. Our friends at Temple Spa have put together a clever twist on the 'Gift with Purchase' idea that they're calling a 'Purchase with Purpose' – and we love it. They're offering a two-for-one offer – and for each pot sold, they'll make a £4 donation towards Centrepoint, a charity which is very close to our hearts because of their work with homeless young people. (Last year, Temple Spa raised an amazing £61,581 for this great cause.)

Here's what we've written about Repose on Beauty Bible...

If you follow our recommendations, you probably use essential oils in the bath to help waft you sleepwards.

But we’d never really thought about how a skin cream might also work to help induce sleep until we tried this from Temple Spa (famously, creators of Skin Truffle, the highest-scoring ‘miracle’ cream we’ve ever trialled in almost 20 years of Beauty Bible testing).

Repose is described as ‘an aromatherapy resting cream’ – and it absolutely lives up to its name. Alongside antioxidants and natural plant extracts (including hops, which are often prescribed for sleep issues), you’ll find essential oils of patchouli, bitter orange, black pepper, geranium and lavender: a really soothing blend, which makes us take a deep breath and unwind while massaging the cream into skin post-cleansing...'

And there's surely never been a better time to try it for yourself...
