I was first introduced to Weleda by my dear Mum, she’d been using the Calendula Weather Protection Cream (which is actually in the Baby range!) to shield her skin from the elements when out horse riding. That was seven years ago, since then our love and collection of Weleda products has continued to grow.
My most recent discovery is the Wild Rose Oil (£19.95 RRP)...and oh my what a wonder product this is! The combination of jojoba seed oil, sweet almond oil, rosa moschata seed oil, rosa and damascena flower oil, produces revitalising properties which leave skin feeling smooth and plump. And when I say plump, I honestly mean it, I noticed a more elasticity look and feel after just three applications. It's no surprise really, as Wild Rose oil contains vitamin A & E - both of which are known for their powerful moisturising and protecting capabilities.
To apply, I use straight after showering/bathing when skin is still damp, making it easier to move and spread the oil evenly on skin - also locking in moisture. The oil doesn’t completely absorb into the skin straight away, but it’s not the heavy greasy feeling you’d expect, a much more light silky feel giving the skin an instant glow - perfect for legs that are about to make a debut!
Like most Weleda products, I find a little goes along way and made with natural essential oils, you can be assured that the product is free of synthetic fragrances, colours, preservatives and raw materials derived from minerals oils.
Have you tried the any of the other Weleda Body Oils? If so, which are your favourites?
