Q. What is Weleda Skin Food used for?

A. Weleda Skin Food is the best intensive, multi-purpose moisturiser for dry and rough skin. It can be used for many applications such as:

Intensive daily face moisturiser
Make-up primer and highlighter
Nourishing hand and cuticle cream
Hydrates dry elbows
Softens cracked heels
Indulgent lip care
Rich revitalising face mask

Q. How to apply Weleda Skin Food?

A. Before applying Skin Food to your body or face we recommend you warm a small amount between your hands to emulsify the waxes and oils for smooth application. Inhale the soothing scent an enjoy the deeply nourishing benefits.

Q. Should I use Skin Food or Skin Food Light?

A. The main difference between the two Skin Foods is their texture and level of moisturisation. Skin Food Original is the most rich and intensive moisturiser of the two and is great for extra dry or rough areas of the body. It can be used as a make-up primer, hand cream or as an overnight mask and is an excellent choice during the colder months for most people. Skin Food Light is ideal for dry skin with a lighter, fast-absorbing formula that provides instant moisturisation. Just like Skin Food Original, this formula can be used head-to-toe and is a great alternative for those who are looking for a less intense formula but still want nourishing results.

"My skin felt very dry and tight on my hands and arms before using this cream but after applying a couple of times I can really notice and feel the difference. My skin feels softer. The cream was very thick on application but a little goes a long way. The smell was very light not overpowering. " Yvonne

Q. Are the Weleda Skin Food products recommended for sensitive skin?

A. While the Skin Food collection is great for dry areas and we know many of our customers use it with varying skin conditions, it may not be suitable for those with ultra-sensitive skin.
