In our house Weleda Skin Food is in the medicine cupboard. We are never without it. It's the go-to dry skin cream. We use it to treat: raw knuckles in winter, rough patches on elbows, anything that...

I tried this product after seeing the great reviews on here. Usually, whenever many reviewers say it was way too greasy, thick, and heavy, that means I'm going to love it. :-) I have extremely...

Great product. Leaves skin soft and moisturized but a tad bit greasy, which is okay in rough weather imo. The fragrance is citrusy/orangey/medicinal but not bad and it doesn't linger. A definite...

I have to start by saying that I have very seasonal skin. It's incredibly dry during the winter and combination in the summer. For the brutal winters (even in the desert here) this is the only...
