Review: The Body Shop Hemp Moisture High Balm




Hello, it's Dee here. Today I want to share my thoughts on this amazing product that have helped my skin survive this winter! (Note:I am not really sure on the "correct" format on writing a review so  do let me know whether you like this format or prefer another way for this information to be presented.)

Texture: To describe it quite simply, the texture is similar to when vaseline but this has a thicker texture.

Smell: It has quite a bizarre unpleasant smell which I eventually got used to. I can't really pinpoint the scent this relates to but if you have the chance to check it out instore, do have a whiff of it.

Price: At a mere pound, you really do not have much to lose. It's definitely worth a try.

Advantages: Awesome price so get it whilst you still can because I think it's being discontinued. It's also the most moisturising product I've ever own that works on my face, hands and body. Yes it's multi-purpose! Just another note, I do have very sensitive skin and my skin haven't reacted badly to this, at all. Furthermore, I used this on the eczema patches on my arm and saw a massive improvement within a week of using it daily. 

Disadvantages: The oiliness of the product makes it a better product to use during night time rather than in daytime. Also, as I had mentioned before, the smell might take some time to get used to..

Overall thoughts: I absolutely LOVE this product. Although there are a few bad points about it, but this isn't anything major and the best thing about this product is how much it has helped reduce my eczema. In the winter, I also get this awkward patch of dry skin in my T-zone area and I have used a lot of products but nothing seems to work to moisturise that area until I used this product on it. Boy, it's that good. I do use this product on my face, body and even my nails to help moisturise the cuticles.:D I am actually quite sad that they've discontinued this product because it has been such a staple product in my skincare routine nowadays. (I did stock up on a few extra tins.;) ) 

NOTE: These opinions are based on my own personal experience so what might have worked for my skin may not work for everyone else.
