Neal’s Yard Remedies Wild Rose Beauty Balm, 15g

I received this as a gift from Suzykirei. Thank you. I've tried various uses. My top recommendation is to wash my face in the morning, then apply this and massage it in, then place a hot towel over my face to warm it, then warm the towel again and wipe it off thoroughly, and then moisturize as usual. Even on gloomy winter mornings, it removes dullness and leaves my face feeling plump and supple. Before applying it to my face, I warm it in both hands until it becomes a complete oil, then spread it down to my neck and décolleté. You can also shave your face before placing the hot towel over your face. I can only use it on mornings when I have plenty of time, but it makes me feel like I'm taking my makeup routine to the next level, which is nice. Unfortunately, if I don't wipe it off, my combination skin breaks out around my mouth. The scent is pure essential oil. As someone who loves organic scents, this is a satisfying, soothing scent. I highly recommend this product to anyone who feels unsatisfied with products that only have a faint essential oil scent, even if they advertise it as having aromatherapy.

I saw a review somewhere that said it's used when going to the sauna, so I bought it too. The scent is amazing. I take a small amount with a spatula, swirl it on the back of my hand, and use it after melting! However, when it's cold, it crackles. On the other hand, it seems to melt when it's hot, so I'm a bit worried about summer. It's unavoidable given the nature of the product, and I'm sure it's not designed to be carried around, so I'll have to be careful. It's quite strong, so it might be better to buy it in a store the first time.

First of all, I really liked the scent. It's not the typical sweet rose scent, but a natural rose scent with a herbal touch of organic rose, which makes me feel relaxed every time I use it. The texture is a bit hard at first, but it melts with the warmth of my hands and easily blends into my skin. I used it as the last step in my nighttime skincare routine, and this winter I've felt less dry than usual, so I was especially pleased with how moisturized my skin felt in the mornings. It's easy to use not only on my face, but also around my eyes and mouth, which tend to dry out easily, and I also found the multi-purpose use convenient. I liked the feel and scent, so next time I'd like to buy the smaller size so I can carry it with me.

I actually bought the set on Beauty Day, but the lid was cracked and it was sold out, so I returned it and bought this set during the New Year's sale. The texture is a firm balm, but it softens quickly when warmed in the palm of your hand and has a lovely rose scent. At first, I didn't know how much to use, and my skin ended up feeling oily and shiny. Now I use this balm after my lotion and then apply the cream. It's gentle and moisturizing, and the small size seems like it would be great for traveling.

I found it best to use it as an introduction after washing my face. It moisturizes my skin well, leaving it soft and bright. The scent is also relaxing and soothing. I'd like to use it again.
