My very recent encounter with the BY TERRY Cellularose Cleansing Oil and Hydra-Toner exposed me to one of the most posh cleansing and toning experiences I’ve ever had. Everything in beauty begins with a freshly cleansed face and this duo makes the process as luxe as only a niche brand can. Sorry to disappoint those expecting a post on a mask or a pumpkin shower gel since it’s Halloween. Just think about all the faces in need of a proper cleanse at the end of today though…
The latest additions to the Cellularose skincare range, both Cleansing Oil and Hydra-Toner are infused with White Brightening Roses Native Cells. If you are a fan of either pink (the color) or the scent of roses, these cleansing and toning workhorses are truly luxurious in consistency, texture, scent, and performance. Talk about new beginnings for the rest of my BY TERRY favorites: Grain de Rose and Aqua Balm.
The Cleansing Oil is silky and rich without being thick nor heavy. As with other cleansing oils, apply it to dry skin (face and eyes) and massage it in gently. This formula cuts through dirt, grime, and all waterproof makeup. Enriched with Jojoba, Camelia and Olive Oils, this blend nourishes, protects, and hydrates while Cherry Blossom Extract brightens and fights free radical damage. Other cleansing oils turn into foam upon contact with water, but BY TERRY Cellularose leaves a tangible moisture barrier behind. My preference is to follow up with Grain de Rose immediately afterward.
Hydra-Toner is the prep step with treatment benefits. Hydrating and refreshing, this energizing complex balances and softens. Gentle and gently scented, it revives and delivers a glow. This BY TERRY clarifying comfort toner shrinks pores and leaves your face feeling firm, never tight, nor uncomfortable. Swipe a saturated cotton pad over your face or use a splash method and pat it in for a luminous and radiant look. In my opinion, this is one of the most elegant toner formulas available and is ideal for dryer or dehydrated skin types.
This brand new cleanser and toner pair is a real treat to use. The luxurious common threads of the Cellularose range are very much present in what many would expect to be basics. Explore the BY TERRY rose skincare when you are lucky enough to visit their counter at Barneys New York or Space NK. The Cleansing Oil retails for $68 (5.07 oz) and the Hydra-Toner costs $65 (6.8 oz.). Also available at SpaceNK.com, UK.SpaceNK.com and barneys.com.
