Beauty Bible Loves… Neal’s Yard Remedies Oat & Ceramide Barrier Repair Cream

It’s been horrid out there. But perfect conditions for putting this new cream from Neal’s Yard Remedies through its paces. As the name suggests, this latest nourisher from the organic British brand is all about barrier care – and this is such an important time to cherish yours. Indoors, central heating’s doing its darnedest to dry out skin, so that natural moisture escapes more easily. (Vicious circle, that.) Outdoors, we’ve wind – such bluster! And that does just the same.  

Neal’s Yard Remedies Oat & Ceramide Barrier Repair Cream is based around famously soothing oats, which ensures a sense of instant and welcome comfort, together with ceramides – among the best barrier ‘building blocks’ out there, creating a smooth, soft surface that’s just more resistant to those aforementioned assaults. Prebiotics also feature, ‘to strengthen the skin’s natural defences.’

The adjective that springs to mind when using this buttery cream is simply ‘cocooning’. And if you could hear our skin, it would be breathing a welcome sign of relief.
