Everybody likes to have a nice complexion and it is a well known fact that bad skin can severely dent a person’s confidence. Whether it be a spot, or something more serious such as eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis, the appearance of our skin plays an key role in our lives which is why it is so important that we look after it properly, giving it the treatment and care that it truly deserves.
Without a doubt, the most important part of skin care maintenance is moisturising – an essential regime to keep skin feeling soft, smooth and firm. The skin has the ability to moisturise itself, however various factors such as dry, cold weather and air-conditioning coupled with skin problems can deplete the skin of its natural moisture. The skin can then start to shrink and at times, it may feel as though you are wearing a size too small skin! In addition, dryness causes the elasticity to disappear making it easier to crack and tear, which for eczema sufferers, is a nightmare.
Knowing how important moisture is, Grandma Vines have specially developed a range of natural skin care products to maintain and replenish moisture in the skin, but without the sticky, greasy residue often left by thick emollients and ointments. They won’t leave your clothes and bedding greasy and stained, but will instead be quickly absorbed into your skin. Utilising a range of natural ingredients to relax and revive skin, each product in the range has been specifically developed to suit the area of application. If that wasn’t enough, you can also be safe in the knowledge that these dual purpose skincare products will not only leave the skin feeling supple and comfortable but will also assist in the healing of dry, irritated skin and encourage skin renewal at the same time.
Hands – As hands are continuously placed in and out of water throughout the day, the skin’s moisture is often depleted but rarely replaced. What’s more, the amount of bacteria which hands come into contact with on a daily basis can often destroy the barrier of delicate skin. Tender Loving Hand Cream is perfect for providing a quick and penetrating supply of moisture to restore the natural elasticity of your skin. The gentle ingredients of calendula, juniper, lavender and wheat germ oil tone and help stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells, leaving skin feeling stronger and softer than you could ever imagine. Its antibacterial properties destroy any bacteria working on the skin to reduce inflammation.
Whether summer or winter, Feet will always sweat and this excess moisture is a major cause of fungal infections. The powerful healing properties of Peppermint, Rosemary and Lavender are all contained in Instant Comfort Foot Balm – perfect for stimulating the natural healing process for dry, cracked heels as well as alleviating pain and eradicating bacteria with its antibacterial and analgesic properties.
The skin on our Body requires a much more gentle approach due to the fact that it is not exposed to the same level of bacteria and fungal as the skin on our hands and feet. For morning and night time moisture, the super softening Heavenly Feast Body Lotion captures the essence of rose and blackberry with sweet almond oil and apricot kernels to encourage the healing and repair of skin and improve the skin’s feel and appearance. Perfect Peace Bath Soak fuses together some of the finest herbs; rose, geranium and sandalwood to refresh, cool and soften the surface, revealing the beautiful skin that lies beneath!
