Beauty Bible Loves... Kiehl's Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream

Just because it’s sunny out there, don’t run away with the idea that summer is upon us.

Still plenty of central heating days ahead of us, we reckon – and this barrier-boosting new Ultra Facial Meltdown Recovery Cream by good old Kiehl’s remains the perfect end-of-winter skin treat.

For all skintypes suffering from dryness, sensitivity, irritation, assault (by wind/heating – especially wood-burners, which really dry out the air!), this promises relief in just five minutes, with a hydration boost that lasts up to 96 hours.

Fundamentally, it’s just one of those amazing products that you apply to skin and can almost hear the sigh of relief! Instant calm. Instant quenching. And instantly, a restored barrier against all those assaults, thanks to a blend of ingredients that notably contains colloidal oatmeal (a renowned soother), bisabolol (ditto), shea butter and avocado oil.

Best applied before skin’s having a meltdown (prevention always being better than cure, when it comes to skin) – but an excellent go-to, when it’s throwing a right proper wobbler.
