An overwhelming experience

There are so many products on the current market that you can simply pick up and add to your basket/trolley. You name it, creams, lotions, sprays and essences are easily available on the health & beauty aisle. Sometimes if not most of the time it can feel overwhelming looking across the vast selection and deciding on what product to next experience. 

We are creatures of habit and most of us like to replenish on our all-time favourites. For me, Palmer’s iconic Cocoa Body Scrub is something I often repurchase, I like how it lightly foams onto the skin whilst providing a truly, cocoa-holic exfoliating experience. We all love a good variety of products but in reality, having a few products is plentiful on achieving what you really want out of your skincare.

Race against the clock

Time is precious for some, these busybodies don’t have the time to follow a curated skincare routine on mornings where time is strictly limited. Like myself, when that alarm hits 6 o’clock every morning I know I have exactly 20 minutes to wash my hair, face and to get dressed before walking out the door to catch the early bird train for work. Evenings are just as hectic, especially when I have a deadline to reach the following morning, a full-blown skin care routine just isn’t a top priority during a busy schedule.

Being a skincare junkie at heart, I like to spend that extra time by making sure my skin is properly cleansed before applying anything else, but when I’m racing against time, it’s simply impossible. You could say to me ’why don’t I wake up earlier’?, and in all honesty, I’ve tried, I really have but come midday I’m ready to hit the sack, it’s just not ideal for someone like me. For like-minded people, this is about to change, and I’m about to make your rush hour mornings less rushed by minimizing the number of products used.

Recently launched from Nourish London is their Antioxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm, a clever little pot that can be used in three different ways enabling you to save time in the long-run. Balms are beauty basics for any minimalist, they’re skin saviours and have become a trusty household staple for years. Moving forward, skincare balms nowadays offer so much more than a quick hydration fix, and I’m about to explain why.

A super-charged formulation, Nourish London’s Multipurpose Balm is here to make your skincare routine a little less complicated.

It’s called multi-tasking for a very good reason, and one that’ll put a big smile on your faces. As a thorough cleansing balm, simply apply over damp skin paying extra attention to problematic areas such as the t-zone where congestion is most likely present. The muslin cloth provided adds that beneficial option to exfoliate the skin to remove unwanted dead skin. To apply as an intensive mask, literally, slather the balm over cleansed skin for a good 20 to 30 minutes and watch your skin glow from within. Personally, I prefer to leave this on the skin for as long as possible so my skin is fully able to absorb the products nutritious ingredients.

Speaking of ingredients, let’s discuss what lies inside this Nourish jar of skin-nurturing goodness.

I won’t ramble on and on but it’s important for me to discuss with you all on what key ingredients Nourish has chosen to create this multi-use, intelligent balm. Beginning with macadamia and coconut oil, both have the natural ability to restore moisture loss from the skin. Nourish loves to include fatty acids to unleash the healthiest, most beautiful looking skin yet and that’s why pumpkin seed oil was added into the cauldron of skin-loving ingredients. Known as the ”superhero oil” this favourable ingredient contains a high amount of vitamin e and zinc to improve skin clarity.

Free radicals are created from pollution such as smog, dust and smoke. Luckily, Nourish included a combination of kale extracts (brown and edible kale) to provide antioxidant protection from free radical damage. Moving onto tea seed oil, this moisturizing oil smooths rough patches on the skin making this an ideal treatment for dry skin sufferers. It’s worth to mention that you can apply this multi-purpose balm all over the body too. I like to particularly use this as an intensive hand treatment before going to sleep, not every night, only when my hands feel a little worst for wear after an intensive gym session  from lifting gym equipment. It really does the trick at reviving my hands from possible friction and soreness.

Do you sometimes look around the bathroom and think to yourself ”do I really need all these products piled up next to each other?” I know I do and the majority of the time they’re sat untouched for weeks, if not months. 78% organic, this exceptional multi-tasking balm from Nourish London is one to consider when looking into a product that’ll save you time, money and product usage in the long-run.
