If you're experiencing dry, sensitive and uncomfortable skin right now, I bet you're on the never-ending hunt for a product that'll hydrate, calm and soothe your skin? Which gives me an excellent segue into introducing Weleda’s award-winning, 100% natural Skin Food.
Not only does Skin Food cover off everything you need in a multi-purpose moisturising cream, celebs like Victoria Beckham, Adele, Alexa Chung and Demi Moore apparently all have a tube on rotation as well.

What Can It Be Used For?
I personally recommend Skin Food as a nourishing hand and cuticle cream, as well as a protective balm for the nose and lips in cold weather. It’s a must-have in your carry-on luggage for long haul flights, and it can also be used as a hydrating mask, primer and body moisturiser. The key ingredients include:
Almond Oil: nourishes and softens dry, dehydrated skin with its quick-absorbing formula rich in vitamins A, D, and E.
Beeswax: protects the skin by forming a lightweight barrier on the skin, locking in moisture & sealing in other ingredients.
Lanolin: an emollient that has long been used as a wound-healer, and as a moisturising ingredient.
Calendula: has antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties, this ingredient works to moisturise, soothe and heal irritated skin.
Chamomile: has anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and healing anti-allergenic properties, as well as being rich in antioxidants.

I find the natural fragrance to be quite strong but it is pleasant and can be soothing, especially at night when applying before bed. I read on another beauty website that this moisturiser is a dupe for La Mer cream, which makes it an excellent...
