Every so often (ok, more often than not), when trial products land at BRHQ we can't help but get a little excited. But I must confess, today's trial product has us a little more excited than usual. Why? Because not only does it boast a list of uses longer than our wishlist; it's 100% natural, with just a high quality natural Vitamin E used as it’s only preservative. This is a product to get excited about!
You might remember us blogging about petrochemicals - and while petroleum jelly is safe for use on your skin, here's the truth. It's not all that good for it. Now before you started protesting, telling me 'my skin feels instantly soft when I use it' let me explain.
Yes, your skin instantly feels smooth after you apply PJ - it's a slick product that makes an excellent barrier cream. It keeps moisture in and air out. But it doesn't add moisture. So when you apply it, your dry, hard skin, feels instantly smooth, but that's where the benefit stops. By keeping air and moisture out, you're actually drying out your skin and blocking your pores with a water resistant plug.
'But I can use PJ for so many things' I hear you cry. Yeap, it's the orginal multi-purpose balm. But there are more natural alternatives, that provide solve your skin problems but provide oodles of benefits too.
We're putting Lakoko Balm to the test. This luxurious multi purpose product is suitable for every skin type and contains just 8 ingredients. Kukui Nut oil, Coconut oil, a fusion of lavender, lime and mandarin, cedarwood, beeswax and Vitamin E.
This unassuming concoction packs quite the punch. Nature's potent anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals hel fight free radical damage and the effects of ageing. Lakoko offers soothing, healing and protection to the areas of your body that need it.
If you're a minimal gal like me, you'll love a product that can do it all - and boy oh boy, can this product do it all. It's suitable for all of the family, including your fur babies. Here's some of the things you can use Lakoko for:
- Replenishing sun-damaged skin
