Winter is a bugger.
My skin can literally (yes, literally) go from combination to tight, dry, scaly, blotchy and uncomfortable in a matter of days.
The reason is two fold. In Cape Town the weather can change from summer to winter in an instant. I don’t think we really experience autumn anymore. The other reason is the fact that my skin barrier function… well, let’s just say it doesn’t function.
I was dreading winter as I knew what was waiting for me. I wasn’t prepared and when the icy cold weather hit, you can only imagine what my poor skin had to face.
And then TheraVine came to my rescue.
TheraVine Mango Face Balm Review
What they say:
An ultra sheer facial balm enriched with Olive extract which helps restore the elasticity of the skin. It nourishes and quenches very dry skin and ultimately encourages cell regeneration.
Ingredients: Mango Seed Butter, Grapeseed Oil, Rose, Jasmine, Neroli, Carrot.
Price: R451 for 50ml.
What I say:
I will never go through a winter without the magic of this silky balm. It is just that good.
At first I was unsure because when I hear the word ‘balm’ I tend to imagine a petroleum jelly-type product that sits on your skin making it feel like it can’t breathe.
This nourishing balm is nothing like that. It is super smooth and feels great on my skin. Immediately after application skin feels calmed, soothed and comfortable. It is recommended for night time use and from the first morning, I could see and feel a difference.
TheraVine Mango Face Balm saved my skin!!
This pot is going to last me forever as only a tiny bit is needed. I thought that it may go to waste as summer is approaching, but I still use it every day. My allergies are acting up and the balm works wonders to help heal the skin on and around my nose. It works great on lips and cuticles too.
I have also used it on Cara’s delicate skin when she has dry patches due to her eczema and it has even helped to heal a scab after an unfortunate hand-stand-gone-wrong incident.
I can’t sing the praises of this product enough. You will love the TheraVine Nourishing Mango Face Balm. You can take my word for it. As soon as I (eventually) finish this press sample, I will be buying one myself.
