It’s been just over a month since I attended the Neal’s Yard Remedies bloggers event and received Wild Rose Beauty Balm in my goodie bag (along with other things I will shortly be reviewing), so I’ve had time to see the effects.

P1030343

Wild Rose Beauty Balm £37 for 50g

It’s a multi use product that cleanses skin, gently exfoliates it if you use the cloth provided and of course moisturises. It has quite a solid consistency but soon melts on contact with the skin. It also has the most heavenly rose scent that lasts for hours. I love how NYR display exactly how organic each of there products are on the label and I was pleased to see that this one is 99%. My face is usually oily to combination and needs an exfoliator which includes grains and a lot less oil. However, it has been incredibly effective for me in two ways:

  • When combined with the cloth, I use it to remove my old patchy fake tan from around my jaw line, neck and body. It’s more efficient at this than any other product I’ve tried.
  • Like most women my age I have cellulite and some mild stretch marks. Every day after I’ve had a shower, while my skin is still damp, I massage a little bit into my skin. It’s had such an amazing effect at moisturising and evening out the look and feel of my skin, I think it’s amazing! I read on the NYR FB page that one women likes to add some to her bath – brilliant idea!

P1030356

As I said, I’ve been using this every day for just over a month and it’s so effective, I’ve only made a tiny dent. I love it so much, I’ll definitely be replacing this product when it runs out – in a year or so!

    Woah, this seems so good! At first I was a little ‘meh’ because of the price but then you mentioned that it lasts so long…
    Great product! (:

      Yeah, I was a little “Whaaat” at the price, ha! But then I started using it and thought it’s one of those ‘you need it in your bathroom’ kind of products so it works out cheaper than buying a ton of different products, when you can just use that. I just wish my skin wasn’t combi/greasy so I could actually use it as a cleanser (one of it’s intended uses).

      It makes me wonder how do really small companies manage if you only need to restock every few months. I guess it’s balance between price, quantity and customers maybe?

    When you said rose scent, I just knew I’d love this. I am obsessed with rose scented products, especially face mists. I’ve never tried this brand before, but I’d definitely love to!

    I love mine! I started using mine about November last year I think I only just finished using it this week. There wasn’t much left but the smell had changed a bit though so I decided I’d better get rid of it! I’ve got a few other cleansers to work through but I’d definitely buy it again at some point! xx

      Cool! Yes that’s the thing about really natural products with no alcohol and other chemicals to preserve them. My skin appreciates stuff that has a natural life cycle a lot more though. 😄
