It’s important to moisturise regularly, especially in winter when the bitter cold air encourages dryness. There are countless moisturisers on the market designed for all kinds of skin. Using products that aren’t suited to your skin type may cause unwanted side-effects. Luckily, Herbfarmacy sell a fantastic selection of moisturisers to keep your skin hydrated and gently help relieve any skin issues you may be experiencing. For a versatile all-rounder, try the award-winning Just Face Cream. Recommended for sensitive skin, this fragrance-free product suitable for using regularly day and night or whenever your skin needs a quick hit of hydration. I also found it worked very well as a primer alternative before applying makeup. Try mixing it in with liquid foundation to create your own tinted moisturiser. This product is 83% organic, and it’s herbal ingredients are Marshmallow, Ginkgo Biloba, Rosehip, and Calendula.

Replenish Face Cream.

If you want your moisturiser to give the appearance of more youthful skin, Replenish Face Cream is for you! Designed to improve and prevent signs of aging, it’s 84% organic formula contains a combination of anti-wrinkle herbal ingredients including Calendula, Marshmallow, Ginkgo, Rosehip, Evening Primrose, and Vitamin E, and is yet another award-winning Herbfarmacy product gave me great results! Recommended for dry, mature, and sensitive skin, the luxuriously thick and creamy formula was absorbed quickly and gave tighter skin with a desirable matte finish.

Divine Light Face Cream.

My favourite Herbfarmacy product is the Divine Light Face Cream (in fact, it’s possibly the best face cream I’ve ever used!). Designed for oily, combination, or younger skin, it’s creamy formula contains softening Marshmallow and conditioning Calendula, as well as Echinacea which has a mildly astringent quality. Astringents help to balance the skin, ridding it of unwanted oily shine caused by excess sebum production (sebum is a substance naturally secreted by the skin to keep it hydrated, but it causes oiliness and shine when it’s overproduced). This product worked absolute wonders for my combination skin! It gave my skin balance and glow from the first use, and I would defiantly buy this again. I highly recommended this to anyone whose skin is on the oily side!

Starweed face Cream.

The last Herbfarmacy face cream I want to share with you is the Starweed Face Cream. It has an uplifting fresh fragrance that reminds me of freshly-cut grass – a great little pick-me-up in your morning skincare routine! It’s wonder-ingredient is Starweed (also known as Chickweed). This versatile plant sprouts up all over the Herbfarmacy fields. Not only is it edible, but it also has skin-softening properties. In this mild face cream it gently soothes the skin making it perfect for use on sensitive skin. It’s even suitable for sufferers of skin conditions like Eczema. It’s effective, non-heavy formula also works well on combination skin types, and it’s proved a winner with men due to it’s clean, non-flowery aroma!

Just Eyes.

Yet another award-winner, Herbfarmacy Just Eyes is a luscious cream formulated specifically for the delicate eye area. The cooling formula leaves the eyes feeling refreshed, so it’s excellent for dabbing on the area when you’re feeling tired and rundown. Cooling products also help to diminish the appearance of dreaded “dark circles”!

Citrus Hand Cream.

It’s important to keep your hands hydrated, too. Leaving dry patches untreated can lead to unsightly flaky redness and uncomfortable cracking. Tackle dehydrated hands with Herbfarmacy Working Hands Cream. This protective product is 83% organic and contains Calendula, Marshmallow, and Comfrey giving a pleasant, warming, herby aroma. If you prefer something with a more vibrant, fruity fragrance, try the Citrus Hand Cream instead. It contains a blend of essential oils from Grapefruit, Mandarin, Orange and Bergamot, and smells like a squeeze of summer in your hands!

Nail & Cuticle Oil.

If you need something that offers more intense treatment than a moisturising cream, Herbfarmacy also produce a collection of skin balms to treat a range of skin problems and provide instant nourishment. Balms have a concentrated formula packed with goodness – a little goes a long way, so apply sparingly to allow it to be absorbed. The award-winning Skin Rescue Balm is perfect for providing hydration to sorry skin on the face and body. Balms harden up when they’re cold, so soften in your palms if necessary before applying to dry patches, cracked areas, and even on eczema. I also like to massage it into my nails and cuticles to keep them in tip-top condition (Herbfarmacy sell an award-winning Nail & Cuticle Oil to condition the nails, too). This excellent all-rounder contains a healing herbal blend of Marshmallow, Calendula, Chickweed, and Comfrey, and it’s 100% organic.

Psoriasis and Eczema can cause major discomfort for sufferers, and it can be a real struggle to find a suitable product to calm flare-ups. However, Herbfarmacy have formulated their Oregon Grape Balm containing extracts of Calendula, Chickweed, and Roman Chamomile essential oil to sooth areas affected by irritating skin conditions. It’s suitable for anyone over the age of 6 weeks, so it’s great to have on standby in case anyone in the family experiences a flare-up or extreme dryness.

Hay Fever Pack

For the face, Herbfarmacy have infused their Mallow Beauty Balm with Mullein; an oil with a natural anti-wrinkle effect. This multi award-winner also delivers deep moisturise instantly and gives the skin a healthy, youthful glow. Massage a touch into fine lines, or scrap your moisturiser and use in it’s place.

You’ll also find a selection of balms to help with a range of minor health problems including Comfrey Balm for soothing bruised and damaged skin, Chickweed Balm for calming itchy areas, Baby's Balm for treating nappy rash, the Hay Fever Pack to sooth irritation and trap pollen, Easy Breath Balm to clear the airways, and the divine Meadowsweet Muscle Balm for relieving achy joints and muscles and gives off a warm, gingery aroma (my favorite!).

Therapeutic Massage Oil.

   A great way to relieve a stressed body and mind is by indulging in a relaxing massage. Don’t fancy the beauticians appointment? There are countless massage and aromatherapy products on the marked to help you achieve a spa-like experience in the comfort of your own home. Herbfarmacy’s 99% organic Therapeutic Massage Oil contains a blend of nourishing oils to sooth the skin and promote circulation. It’s scented with the fresh, warming fragrance of Frankincense, spicy Black Pepper, and calming Ylang Ylang.
