Who doesn't love a multi-tasking product? Something that can do double-time. Or triple-time. Or in the case of a good balm - decuple-time (and yes, I had to Google that little piece of ten-related trivia). No wonder the one product you'll find in each and every Beauty Review crew member's handbag is a paw paw balm - it's the one product that can ease an itch while keeping you looking beautifully groomed! So what are the ten ways we love to use our balms? Read on...
Lips feeling chapped or cracked? Slick a bit of paw paw on it!
Speaking of chapped and cracked... if your heels are looking worse for wear then it's time to treat them to some balm action. Smother them in the good stuff, pop on a pair of socks, hit the hay, and wake up to fab feet!
Need to look like you've made an effort, but your makeup kit's not on hand? A little paw paw applied to the tops of your cheekbones and onto your eyelids will give you a natural but gorgeous glow.
Has your eczema flared up? Paw paw balm can help ease the itch.
One of my favourite uses for paw paw balm? Calming a mozzie bite. Those littler suckers love me, and my summers (and springs, and autumns, and sometimes even winter - the joys of living in Auckland...) are spent scratching or trying not to scratch my itchy bites. This summer I discovered a little paw paw can go a long way to reducing the desire to scritch.
Just noticed your eyebrows are next level out of control? Run a little paw paw through them to tame the caterpillary beasts!
The same goes for those fluffy hair days. Sparingly apply paw paw balm to the fluffies to reduce the frizz.
Cuticles looking less than cute? Massage some paw paw on them!
And if your knees and elbows are drier than the Sahara, you know what to do... squeeze some paw paw into your hands and get rubbing!
Finally, this won't apply to everyone... BUT if you've a bubba and its bum's got a case of nappy rash, a smear of paw paw balm can work wonders. (It was a must-have in my nappy bag back when I was at the baby stage of life.)
So there you have it... ten reasons why we can't get enough of the fantastic multi-purpose delight that is paw paw balm. So... are you onboard? What do you use your paw paw balm for? Is paw paw balm something you need to get your hands on? (And dare we remind you it's one of the many amazing products in our Nudes 2 box?) Chat away!
I've been wanting to try the sukin paw paw balm for awhile now. I might have to get it soon, my lips are chapped for the winter season and I want to see if this will help it
