Winter Skin Care Favourites - Weleda Skin Food

If you suffer from dry or chapped skin anywhere on your face or body, you'll be pleased to know How on Earth is now stocking Weleda Skin Food.

Featured at London Fashion Week in September, Skin Food was in the exclusive goody bags for the models, designers and attendees. Its huge celebrity following includes Rihanna, Janey-Lee-Grace and Sophie Ward.

Shona asked me to test it out and I have been mightily impressed, as have my mum and ten year old daughter! I especially loved using on my hands and elbows.

Skin Food is developed to be a deep penetrating skin repair cream, either smoothed onto your body until absorbed, or gently patted onto your face. This amazing cream forms a fine protective barrier against the ravages of winter. As soon as you open the tube, the wafts of chamomile, calendula and wild pansy start to soothe. Key ingredients included lanolin, which is cleverly chemically similar to our natural skin oil, sebum and rosemary, which revitalizes dull complexions.

Amazingly Weleda Skin Food was first introduced in 1926 (!!). It's having a huge comeback, with endorsements from models, singers and actresses. Thank goodness the secret is out now and my hands may survive the winter.

£5.95 for 75ml at How on Earth, it is suitable for vegetarians and comes in a 75ml recyclable aluminium tube - green in more ways than one!
