Dry. Itchy. Scaly. Red. Downright uncomfortable. Sound familiar? And nothing seems to help, does it? Time to send out an S.O.S. Thankfully help is at hand with the newly re-packaged and re-launched Barefoot Botanicals S.O.S. "Rescue Me" Face and Body Cream. It's developed by a team of homeopaths who wanted to give us a pure product range that really addresses the problems, not just the symptoms.

Barefoot Botanicals SOS Face and Body Cream

S.O.S. is a range for suffers of extreme dry patches caused by eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, stress, extremes, and as well as dry skin caused by other breakdowns of the skin's natural barrier function. I have two kids with eczema and decided to ask them both to try this particular product out. The result? Two boys with much clearer skin. But more importantly: two boys that didn't whinge about the heavy greasy texture of an ordinary neutral barrier cream. They actually really enjoyed using it! Plus it smells great.

S.O.S. is a natural blend of Borage Oil, Shea Butter, Evening Primrose, and anti-irritants like Calendula, Burdock, and Mahonia and can be used on any and all patches of dry, itchy skin. Don't let the cold weather wreck havoc with your skin; send out an S.O.S. before it is too late!

Barefoot Botanicals SOS Face and Body Cream comes in two handy sizes: 100ml £17.95 and 50ml £9.95, available at Boots and selected department stores as well as via their website www.barefoot-botanicals.com

I love SOS. when i was 16 i suffered from a one off case of ecxema on my face, where i had red flakey patches. It started as a small patch an got worse until one day i woke uo with it on my eyelids.I didt use anything on my skin during that period, but when it cleared my skin was dry sallow possibly from the medical cream is was prescribed. SOS helped bring my skin back to its former condition. Im 20 now and i still use it as a face cream, I only need a small amount, it absorbs quickly and isnt greasy. SOS leaves my skin smooth and glowing I always get compliments. I know im going on a bit! But I havent suffered from that problem since, and for me a person who is proud of their skin ( I have NEVER had spots ) having red flakey patches/swollen eyes was terrible. So for me SOS is a god send. My sister uses SOS products on her children aswell. I seriously recommend this cream and other products by Barefoot Botanicals, I really like the SOS lip balm in rose and cardommom.

I have tried the products, i dont't think it is a trend because there have always been products claiming to be 'natural and organic' when really they are full of chemicals. I think that SOS is a really good product. Its inexpensive, long lasting and really makes my skin look and feel amazing. I do not suffer from eczema but i do get red blotchyness and dryness which SOS cures and prevents. I also recommend this cream its an amazing face/body moisteriser not just for eczema.
