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 – 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 Balm’s twist-off cap reveals a nozzle just big enough to carefully dispense a tiny dab of nourishment. It’s a fairly ‘loose’ 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 that’s needed to leave them comforted and glossy. (It’s nice over a lipstick. We’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 ‘natural’ product – if that matters to you – but coconut and jojoba oil, plus shea butter, also feature.

The tube’s larger than most, still handbag-friendly – 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 – and at time of press, Black Friday deals are in place, bringing the price down further.
