Beauty Bible Loves... Neal's Yard Remedies Women's Balance Balm

This landed JUST in time for us peeling off our tights and realising we had quite a shin emergency going on. A too-long winter has wicked the moisture from legs (well, all over, in truth), leaving them flaky – but this COSMOS-certified natural balm, just launched in Neal’s Yard Remedies Women’s Balance range, literally fixed the problem in one session.

It is VERY rich, and (in a chilly bedroom) needs a little warming between the fingers to emulsify into a beautiful nourishing texture, created from sweet almond and macadamia oils, with beeswax, all infused with a divine blend of rose, frankincense and geranium (a holy trinity of three of our favourite essential oils, actually).

Women’s Balance is the range formulated to help ‘nourish your skin and harmonise body and mind, giving a sense of balance through the body’s natural cycles and rhythms, for all ages and life stages.’ So: crankily hormonal around your period time, experiencing the ups and downs of peri-menopause or dealing with post-menopausal changes? It’s is a great go-to.

And Women's Balance Balm now has pride of place on the bedside table. We will ignore the fact that after that first, glorious bare-legged moment, the wind swung around again and we’re back in tights – ye gods, it is MAY! – but at least we’re ready, next time around.
