After some experimentation with it, I have come to the conclusion this product is best left to my feet and elbows.

Skin Food is a very thick heavy duty moisturizer with a lemon-y herbally scent (if you are into natural/organic Aveda-type products you will most likely find it appealing). I purchased a trial...

This is a very moisturizing cream, so I mostly use it for my hands and body -- it's great for treating my occasional eczema flare-ups. I have acne-prone skin, so don't use it much on my face,...

3.5 stars tentatively. I love this scent! It smells both lemony and herbally. Texture is a bit thick and rich, but it softens up with the warmth of my hands. I can't really spread this on my face,...

I'm not sure what is so great about this. It worked just okay for me. Also, I couldn't stand the smell - it's way too medicinal for me.
