No matter the time of year skin can flare up for no apparent reason, and it’s always useful to have an emergency go-to-product in your make-up bag or bathroom cabinet.
So StyleNest have rounded up our pick of the best ‘wonder creams’, multi-use products that are great to have on hand to treat all skin complaints, from bruises to sunburn and any dry patches in-between.
StyleNest are as crazy for coconut oil as everyone else, so we were excited to find this handy tub of 100% organic coconut oil from Dr Jackson. Use to moisturise dry skin, nourish lips, cuticles and hair, this all-natural ‘everything balm’ can be used as need and on all skin types. One tip though, as coconut melts when the temperatures rise, this is a good one to keep in the fridge for emergencies. This wonder product from StyleNest favourite 1001 Remedies is truly magical. Based on the healing properties of ancient ingredient Myrrh, which is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and antifungal it can be used on acne, bruises, skin rashes or any other skin blemishes, and its magic will even help heal wounds up to 2cm deep. We tried it to gently treat time-of-the-month breakouts and couldn’t believe the fresh-faced difference we saw. One of Sisley’s ‘Cult Products’, the wonderful Restorative Facial Cream is enriched with shea butter to nourish and soothe damaged skin, irritated skin, dry skin, and also sunburnt skin. It’s also so gentle, it can even be used on children aged 3 and up. The 97% natural Pommade Divine not only soften and repair dry patches and cracked lips, it can also be used to treat bites, scars, burns and spots with its calming combination of nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and liquid amber. German brand Believa is new to the UK, and when StyleNest heard about its arrival we couldn’t wait to give it a try. Full of natural ingredients and free of mineral oils, parabens and other irritants, the cream is our new go-to to sooth sensitive skin, eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis, and is suitable for all the family. Mrs White’s Classic Cold Cream follows an ancient recipe which blends all natural ingredients to truly nourish the skin. Including British beeswax and olive oil to soften, organic cider vinegar to balance pH, and Rose Absolute help keeps the skin youthful, with this wonder product managing to work as a cleanser, moisturiser, anti-aging nutrient and protector all in one. The Hylamide Booster Series contains 4 booster serums to tackle a variety of skin complains, promising results in just 5 to 10 days. The Low-Molecular HA rehydrates the skin on multiple levels, Glow gives radiance to lacklustre skin, C25 gives a hit of Vitamin C to brighten and smooth, whilst the Sensitive Booster Fix can help to alleviate redness and irritation and is great for this time of year if you’ve in the sun a little longer than you should have. The new mini organic herbal salves from Neal’s Yard Remedies have quickly become a StyleNest handbag must-have for skin emergencies. Choose calming lavender to relax, soothing calendula to soften dry, sensitive skin, or arnica for your gym bag to ease any post-workout aches and pains.
