This little gem of a cream has jumped on the oil bandwagon – it’s a balm that turns into an oil and if you are familiar with the smell of the Sanctuary products, you will know that it is divine! To tell you the truth, I bought it because it was new with no idea what I was going to use it for. I knew I loved the smell, and having lots of products that give moisture around the house can never be a bad thing right?
This has been a gift from heaven this week with me having a cold and you know that way that you have blown your nose so many times you feel like you are taking skin off and it’s red and sore? That’s where I’m at just now and this is so soothing and thus far I haven’t had the dry peeling skin on my nose that normally happens at this point. Furthermore, it doesn’t sting which is what I’ve found happens if I put hand cream on or anything other than Vaseline on my nose, or now this little wonder. That’s surprising actually since it’s so highly scented!
On the package it tells you this is a multi purpose balm for use on elbows, ankles, cuticles, etc. Apart from my poor battered nose, I have used it as a hand cream and cuticle cream and put some on my ankles but I would say the best use will be for the cuticles. As it turns to oil immediately and doesn’t sink it completely, you don’t want to be putting your hands on anything that might stain as my horrified hubby pointed out. “Why are your hands & feet all oily” he asked, and I could see in his eyes he thought I was about to mess up our new couch! I put socks on to prevent the feet on sofa issue, and then rubbed some hand cream in over the oil on my hands. Lesson learnt.
As for the 7 day claim, it’s only been 4 and I can’t say that the moisture feels like it’s lasting more than a day but I won’t hold that against it. A definite repurchase for me and I think this would make a lovely gift.
