    I read about Skin Food in InStyle magazine. They wrote about how it was great to use after a night of drinking. This cream has a glowing quality about it. If you want a dewy look, then use this...

    I tried this last year while I was living in Germany. As my skin gets a little dry in the winter, I decided to try this. After using this for a few weeks on my hands, it felt as if it was drying...

    This stuff is awesome!!! I have chronic dry skin, and after using skin food I only have to moisturize once a day. It doesn't really smell too bad either. It's great for hands and feet.

    I really do applaud natural products that work. I kind of like the almost medicinal or herbal scent this cream has - and while I wouldn't put it on my face (as it says you can), I would use it for...

    I've had painfully dry, cracked skin on my hands. This is the only cream that has helped my skin and kept it moisturized throughout the day, despite multiple handwashes. I've tried body butters,...

    The Skin Food, admittedly, took a while to get used to - it gets quite greasy if you apply as much as you would do with your normal moisturiser - however I soon discovered you only need a TINY...

    I think I just bought this because I was excited they had just gotten it in at my local drugstore. I had heard so much about it I couldn't resist. The thing is I just don't know what to do with it....

    This is a handy household staple, kept for cases of extreme chapping, and for use on feet. It works. Also smells very pleasant, to my nose. The Weleda baby/Calendula range can also be recommended:...

    I bought this for my severe flaky patches on my face around my mouth, chin, and cheeks. It is a nice thick cream that "sits" on top of your skin for a while and feels greasy but after you rub it...

    I have learned to not use this on my face but rather as a great hand cream. It is very rich and thick, probably not for those with anything but dry skin. It has never made me break out but it's...

    I rushed out and bought this after reading the rave reviews on MUA, but the sickly/citrus/medicinal scent turned me off immediately and I took a while to give in and use it on a regular basis. Now...
