Weleda skin food* is a natural body cream for dry and rough skin. It doesn't contain synthetic preservatives, frgrances or colourants and is mineral oil free.
It contains voila, camomile and calendula to smooth the skin.
The cream is in a handy squeezy tube which means it is easy to get the right amount out.
30ml retails for £5.89 on natureshealthbox website. I think this is a good price as a little of the cream goes a long way!
The cream is quite thick and does take a while to sink in, it seems to leave a slightly oily layer which is then absorbed. I have been using it on my elbows as they are rough as sandpaper in this wintery weather! The cream has definitely made a difference, they feel much smoother. The instructions on the cream say to apply several times a day, I have only been applying it in the evening before I go to bed due to it taking a while to absorb.
The cream has quite a strong herbally scent but this disappears once the cream has absorbed. If you have rough skin that needs a bit of TLC then this cream is fab if you don't mind waiting for it to sink in!
