What I got: I was sent the Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin which includes a Body Wash, a Body Lotion and a Hand Cream. Weleda’s new Almond Sensitive Skin Body Care range has been specifically designed to calm, soothe and support sensitive, allergy-prone, inflamed and dry skin. Each product is bursting with skin-calming natural ingredients, including the goodness of sweet almond oil – a particularly delicate and mild pure plant oil rich in essential fatty acids. These ingredients work in harmony to boost and restore the skin’s natural balance leaving it with long lasting hydration, while the delicate scent of almond essential oil encourages a peaceful state of mind. All products in the new range are pH skin balanced, clinically tested, dermatology approved and are certified by NATRUE, which has the highest international criteria for natural and organic finished products, not just the ingredients.
KEY INGREDIENTS INCLUDE:
- Organic almond oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) – rich in essential fatty acids that are especially mild, gentle and extremely well tolerated and absorbed by the skin.
- Organic Shea Butter (Butyrospermum Parkii) – is comprised of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, as well as Vitamin E and Carotene; acts as a soothing moisturiser for the skin.
- Organic Beeswax (Cera Alba) – soothes and protects the skin from dryness without inhibiting its ability to breathe.
How I find it:
Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin Body Wash (RRP $20.90 for 200ml).This calming, soap-free body wash gently cleanses to remove daily impurities while assisting to replenish the skin’s lipid layer, which can help to regulate moisture balance. Skin is left feeling soft, soothed and smelling tranquil. This body wash is creamy and smells really nice of almond oil! It is really nourishing to the skin and not drying at all but does not leave my skin feeling greasy at all.
Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin Body Lotion (RRP $36.90 200ml). Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin Body Lotion is designed to absorb quickly to calm sensitive skin while helping to strengthen the skin’s own protective function. Its gently scented formulation provides long lasting daily moisture protection and recovery to leave skin feeling smooth, hydrated and velvety soft. This body lotion is quite light but still moisturising. It doesn’t let a sticky residue on the skin and is relatively fast absorbing. It brings instant relief to dry skin, but probably not moisturising enough for flakey, dry skin. Nonetheless, smells really nice without being too strong.
Weleda Almond Sensitive Skin Hand Cream (RRP $23.90 for 50ml). A highly effective calming hand cream which delivers a fast absorbing treatment to help hydrate, balance, soothe and protect hard working hands and leave them feeling smooth and silky soft again. I love this hand cream! The formula is really moisturising and I love to use it at night before bedtime. I love the almond oil scent and it hydrates and moisturises my hands without feeling thick and sticky. Great handbag size.
Overall: First of beautiful pink and white packaging! I have used Weleda products before it is a one of my trusted brands – its good enough to give to my baby boy. I love their Skinfood cream, their Teething Powder is amazing and their Nursing Tea helped me out heaps in breastfeeding! This Almond Sensitive Skin range is just as great! Smells really nice but not overwhelming. It provides instant relief to my dry skin without being too thick and slippery. The body wash is great if you have dry or sensitive skin and you don’t want to be using harsh soaps that strips away essential moisture or lipids from your body. It is not always about being squeaky clean, but clean and comfortable.
