This one product made my skin look undeniably dewy and fresher than it had in a long time.
I write “cream” with quotations because it’s not a cream at all, despite its name.
Enter: An all-natural alternative.
I had to find a natural alternative to this well-loved classic, but I kept coming up empty.
Straight coconut oil was too emollient, not to mention it can becomedogenic.
Of theall-purpose productsand salves natural beauty has to offer,Weleda’s Skin Foodwas the closest match.
(Yes, really.)
What does Weleda Skin Food feel like?
How do you use it as a sleeping mask?
While Skin Food isn’t officially a sleeping mask, you could use it as one.
The goop itself is yellow-beige in color and opaque at first but becomes transparent on contact with the skin.
The amounts shown here are far too much for the facea pea size is plenty.
I slathered it on and worried for a moment about my pores.Would they clog?
My face was indeed shiny and slippery for the rest of the evening.
I changed out my pillowcase to one I didn’t care about staining and hit the hay.
I’m happy to report one use did not clog my pores!
The biggest difference of all was in how my skin felt.
It quite literally drank up the Skin Food and looked even-toned enough to forgo makeup entirely.
That all said, I don’t recommend this treatment unless you’re feeling particularly dry.
