We do love chance discoveries here at L’Onglex Towers so when the little tube of magic that is Weleda’s Skin Food landed on our beauty desk in a very discreet envelope with some no fuss instructions and a polite request we try a dab we were only too delighted to give it a go. We were pleased to do this for the following reasons.
Although it’s formulated for the hands and feet, it can be used all over as a sort of spot repair treatment which will work for rough, dry skin anywhere on the body. This got us thinking we don’t know of too many good products that do this for a reasonable price (€5.95 ) and for this reason alone it might be a very decent find.
Secondly, we heard a rumour that this is Alexa Chungs cult beauty ‘must have’ and she always keeps a tube in her handbag for emergencies. So, in a very sad, vain sort of way we figured that if it is good enough for Alexa Chung it must be good enough for us, and by default, good enough for readers on the L’Onglex blog.
Finally, although we on the L’Onglex blog like making our own hand repair creams out of bits of leftover food and some ingredients left over at the back of the press, we don’t have any control over how they smell and sometimes the results aren’t great. Skin food, on the other hand, smells absolutely gorgeous in a clean and wholesome and godly in a Sweet Miss Goody Two Shoes sort of way.
So far I’ve tried a bit on my heels and on my elbows and as it sinks in quickly and goes about it’s business with a calm efficiency I figure this is just how I like it. No fuss, no bother, works and works well. Verdict …. approved – Miss Chung, we thank you.
