Ladies who feel the change of weather pulling at and tightening your skin, this is the perfect product for you. When the weather started to change I needed something rich to help ease my dry & dehydrated skin.
I have actually been using this intense hydrating balm from Uriage twice a day for a while now (about 2 months), so long that its almost to the end of the jar.
PACKAGING
The baume comes in a blue and white jar, which looks nice and gives the impression of a richly hydrating product (which it is). I usually go for squeezable tubes or pumps as I hate using a spatula and putting my fingers into products. I have been taking extra care to make sure my hands are ultra clean and that the lid is replaced immediately after use since I live in quite a dusty climate. But then again I am a hygiene freak…
FORMULA
“H20 patented complex : Organic and mineral osmolytes (Uriage Thermal Water and amino acid).
Anti-pollution agents.
Shea Butter.
Limnanthes Alba Oil.” – Uriage.
The texture is a rich balm, that soothes and envelopes the skin upon application and nourishes dry skin. The moisturiser also helps to maintain the skins moisture barrier protecting the skin from damage using the patented H20 complex.
“Originating in the French Alps, in the Belledonne mountains, near Grenoble, Uriage Thermal Water bursts forth at an altitude of 422m, and a temperature of 28ºC. Packaged directly at the source, it is collected pure and naturally rich in mineral salts and trace elements. Its composition makes it the most balanced of all Thermal Waters.” - Uriage.
Thermal water has been used by Uriage for almost 20 years!
“Thanks to its high concentration in mineral salts similar to the skin’s Natural Moisturizing Factors, it offers unique moisturizing benefits. It soothes sensitive skin thanks to the high level of calcium and magnesium salts. Silicon strengthens the skin hydrolipidic film. It also helps restore the cutaneous barrier, thanks to mineral salts.” - Uriage.
SWATCHES
As you can see its rather thick. This balm is perfect for those with drier skintypes. At times I needed to be careful not to apply to much since my nose is a little oily and it can at times feel slightly greasy. I really loved applying this on my neck as the skin needs more protection and this gave my skin a wonderfully plump feeling. It gave the skin a lovely radiant dewy look.
THE PRICE
This cream is seriously affordable and retails for about 18 euro. It lasts a long time since only a small amount is needed to cover the face & neck. It can be found in most leading pharmacies and is distributed locally by JV Pharma.
OVERALL THOUGHTS
Would I re-purchase this product. YES. Why? Because it is the perfect cream to hydrate my skin during the change of seasons. Now my skin has adjusted I would switch to something lighter and then revisit this product again when my skin feels tight. I don’t think that my skin would like this all year round as summers are extremely humid, I also used to apply a little on my elbows when they feel dry and that was very soothing.
I have to admit I am very found of the brand and I love their body line, so I would be interested in trying out other items from Uriage. Can you suggest any of your faves?
