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.
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
