When I'm having one of those
months when my skin just don't play ball (I’m
talking break outs, irritated areas, hormonal patches, you know what I'm
talking about) there is only one product I ever turn to.
Elemis SOS Emergency cream is my skincare saviour
when I'm up against it!
Despite its name saying "emergency
cream", it is actually a daily moisturiser which has been formulated to
help sort out stressed, hormonal, irritated skin and restore your skins natural
balance.
This healing cream contains amino acids, lavender,
willow, myrrh and centella asiatica to help soothe your skin back to its normal
state without aggravating it further.
It is a thick and creamy product but with a light
texture which is absorbed quickly to leave a matte finish on your skin.
When you first apply it feels ever so slightly
greasy, but this sensation quickly goes, leaving your face feeling soft and
moisturised without feeling shiny or clogged.
It has a really pleasant, calming smell to it too,
which is exactly what you need when your skin is anything but calm!
Now, this cream is not cheap, but for me it's worth
its weight in gold as it's the only thing that helps to calm my skin when it
flares up.
You can buy Elemis' SOS Emergency Cream from the
Time to Spa website where it costs £51.
