Take Me Away With You And Win With Balance Me

Despite the warm weather in the UK I'm already super excited for my holidays and I can't wait to jet off into the sunshine, in fact I'm super jealous of my neighbour who has just come back from Cuba and looks amazing! Never mind I know how lucky I am to be going away at all and it will be my turn before I know it lol. When I eventually do start to pack my case there are few beauty related things that I always take with me and one of my real travel essential is a tube of hand cream. A lot of people just use hand cream in the winter but the sunshine, air conditioning, salt water and chlorine can all play a huge part in drying out the skin on our hands.

A little while ago now I was contacted by a company called Balance Me. They are a UK company who use natural formulations and ingredients to produce an extensive range of products for the face, body and hair that do exactly what they promise. The company very kindly sent me a tube of one their most popular products, the Balance Me Super Moisturising Hand Cream

This multi award winning product includes fabulous hardworking natural ingredients such as grape seed oil, Shea butter, kukui nut oil, and  sweet almond oil for moisture, as well as carrageenan gum, benzoin and yarrow which are skin conditioners. It also includes lavender, geranium, patchouli and bergamot essential oils which give at a typical aromatherapy type fragrance.

It's quite a thick cream, so you don't need very much, it's pretty easy to rub in though and it does absorb quite quickly. It leaves the hands feeling really smooth and just a tiny bit tacky which makes them feel really protected.

This is definitely a night time hand cream for me, but if your hands are super dry you would love it in the day time too, and you can also use it on your feet and on other areas of dry skin on the body. It isn't cheap but as I say you need such a small amount that it will last for ages. Balance Me Super Moisturising Hand Cream is available in 3 sizes all of which are travel friendly. The 30ml tube retails at £7.50, the 50ml tube retails at £10, and the 100ml tube retails at £14.50.
