Review:
I have been using Weleda Skin food for the past few months and I would highly recommend it. It's got a lovely scent, is easily absorbed and has increased the strength of my nails as I've been rubbing it into my cuticles. I bought a tube for my sister who suffers badly from eczema on her hands and she loves it too! I've also been recommending it to all my colleagues and friends including buying it as birthday presents as you can use it for nearly everything.

I do a lot of watersports and enjoy being outdoors, I have found that by applying a thin layer of Weleda Skin Food to my face before going in to the lake or river helps to protect my sensitive skin from the water and elements. I also use Weleda Skin Food on my hands and I rub some in before putting on my cycling gloves, when I have finished my bike ride I not only feel refreshed from being out in the fresh air but my hands feel soft too!
