I am a self-proclaimed body moisturisers “expert”, I love nothing more than choosing a new cream/oil/butter. It is a ritual, of a kind. As soon as I use up one of the products I have on rotation, I start looking for a replacement, reading about different options and thinking what I fancy.
And, let me tell you, as soon as I came across the Neal’s Yard Remedies Women’s Balance range, I knew I had to get it. I’ve ordered a body cream and a massage oil.
I am a fan of the brand anyway, so know that their products are always high quality and don’t cost an arm and a leg. Plus, when I read “a balancing and relaxing blend of patchouli, uplifting geranium, nurturing rose and rejuvenating frankincense”, that was it. That sounded like the scent of dreams. I thought I’d love it, and I absolutely do, obsessed, in fact. Aromatherapy at its finest. The only thing is that now I want more products from this range.
Formula-wise, it is also superb, deeply nourishing without feeling greasy. An instant relief for dry skin thanks to the macadamia and sea buckthorn oils. One of the best body moisturisers I have ever used. And, as someone who has very dry skin, I have used a lot, trust me. I also find that a little goes a long way, as you don’t need a lot of product.
As if I haven’t raved about the cream enough, let me also mention a signature NY’s glass jar, there is just something satisfying about using a beautiful packaging.
