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.

Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know how I discovered Weleda products whilst on holiday....Spending a week in Mallorca this summer, my sons caught the sun a little more than I would have liked (despite using sunscreen) so I needed something to soothe & moisturise their pink patches. I remembered seeing an article in a magazine recently praising the properties of Weleda and so always keen to use natural products, especially on the children, I found a local store that stocked 'Skin Food'. From the 1st application it worked wonders, calming their sore bits (tops of ears & feet mainly) and restoring moisture levels. The kids even liked the smell! I tried it out on the dry patches on my beach battered toes & heels and I am now converted...I returned to the store to stock up on some skincare for myself, trying the Iris day cream as my skin has a tendency to be dry. Feeling wonderful on my skin, it has put an end to that 'tight' feeling you sometimes get after cleansing and has maintained my post holiday glow. I'm now well & truly a fan and will sample other products in the range.

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!
