14 uses of Weleda Skin Food
1. Face cream
Weleda Skin Food makes a terrific face moisturiser. The best way to apply is to warm a dab of cream between the palm of your hands and then press lightly onto the skin. It'll leave your face feeling
soft and comfortable all day – or night.
2. Hand cream
Perfect for gardeners, as well as busy parents doing a lot of nappy changing and food prepping. The barrier ingredients in Weleda Skin Food do a
great job of protecting the skin from repeated handwashing.
3. Cuticle cream
Lanolin and beeswax are a blessing for dry cuticles. Simply rub a tiny amount of Weleda Skin Food into the cuticles and hands at bedtime to
soften and soothe overnight.
4. Barrier cream
Did you know? If you’re applying hair colour, Weleda Skin Food can be used to protect the skin around the hairline from absorbing dye. Likewise, it’s great for elbows, wrists, knees and heels prior to fake tanning.
5. Face mask
Fast fix for dry skin? Apply a thick layer of Weleda Skin Food and remove it with a damp cloth after 20 minutes. For a relaxing overnight nourisher, simply apply it like a face mask and wake with
super smooth and hydrated skin.
6. Lip balm
Looking to soften and nourish sensitive lip skin? Weleda's Skin Food has you covered. It’s especially useful to soothe the lips after the drying effects of matte lipstick or cold weather.
7. SOS skin soother
If you suffer from dry cracked skin, be sure to apply a good thick layer of Weleda Skin Food daily to keep it nourished.
8. Frizz tamer
Not about flyways or frizz? Use Weleda Skin Food to settle flyaways and act as a leave-in conditioner for parched locks. Just remember, this is one of those situations when the ‘less is more’ rule applies.
9. Makeup primer
Weleda Skin Food is the
perfect base for makeup if you have dry skin that appears flaky after foundation. Just warm a dab between your fingers, pat on a thin layer and let it absorb for 20 minutes before applying liquid or mineral powder foundation.
10. Tinted moisturiser maker
If you already own a thick foundation, but you’re looking for
a more sheer and natural coverage, simply mix a dab of Weleda Skin Food with your foundation in the palm of your hand and apply to your face for a light tint.
