There’s certainly nothing pretty about having a cold; the red, irritated face from blowing the nose and the ultra chapped lips from the heavy breathing at night and generally grossness associated with the common cold. Since I was in such a state this weekend, it came to be the perfect time to pull the FixMySkin balms out of my “to review” bin and give ’em a good old a test run. Each medicated product contains 1% hydrocortisone, that heals while moisturizing the skin and also includes beeswax, soy bean, Shea butter and cocoa seed butter.
Using the face balm, my t-zone was quickly soothed, while my lips were quenched without feeling addicted to needing more and more of the balm. Great for psoriasis, eczema, insect bites, poison ivy, dermatitis, I won’t be surprised if I start to see this product popping up everywhere. Check out the options at FixMySkin.com, where you can choose from unscented or vanilla for face ($10), lips ($8) or body ($12).
