Imagine my surprise when my skin type seemingly changed on me! I've had combination/oily skin for years, I've always struggled to eliminate shine on my t-zone. After spending a couple of years at uni in Durham I suddenly started getting dry, flaky patches and my skin felt tight.
Oil is the body's natural moisturiser. When it emerges on the surface of the skin it's because too much oil is being produced. The body is over-compensating for a lack of moisture either from drinking too little water or from the lack of using a moisturiser in your daily skin routine. I was the latter, skimping on moisturising as I didn't want to add any more oil to my skin. I started to use one as it was what my skin was calling out for, but even the oil free moisturisers weren't helping the dry patches.
Enter the super moisturiser from The Body Shop. It was extremely hard to get hold of this year, I visited a few stores and was told that they were struggling to get stock in due to high demand, the secret was out! The Hemp Face Protector is aimed at very dry skin and is a perfect protecting balm against harsh weather, such as the turbulent winds we're currently facing in the UK. This moisturiser quickly removed the dry patches on my cheeks and forehead, and eliminated the tight feeling that comes with a lack of moisture. This product is only available from The Body Shop and is £8 for a 50ml pot. It might seem steep for a small pot but a little dab of this works miracles!
Oooo I'll have to take a look at this if they've got it in my nearest body shop.
