Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Skin Proud Everything Balm

A little tube of winter joy landed on our desk in a very timely way, this week โ€“ very useful for rapidly-dessicating lips, cuticles and heels, as our indoor environments are rendered parched by having the radiators on. (Outdoors, of course, being a soggy other story.)

Skin Proud Everything Balmโ€™s twist-off cap reveals a nozzle just big enough to carefully dispense a tiny dab of nourishment. Itโ€™s a fairly โ€˜looseโ€™ rather than a hard balm, ideal for massaging into cuticles; jolly useful on the bedside table, for late-night nail care.

For lips, meanwhile, a micro-dot is all thatโ€™s needed to leave them comforted and glossy. (Itโ€™s nice over a lipstick. Weโ€™ve tried.)

Though vegan and cruelty-free, we need to point out that the first ingredient is petrolatum and this is by no means a โ€˜naturalโ€™ product โ€“ if that matters to you โ€“ but coconut and jojoba oil, plus shea butter, also feature.

The tubeโ€™s larger than most, still handbag-friendly โ€“ but not only is the price-tag super pocket-friendly, but the 20ml is going to last you absolutely aeons. The beauty steal that keeps on giving, then โ€“ and at time of press, Black Friday deals are in place, bringing the price down further.
