We’ve all been talking about the ‘unsexy essentials’ we need that aren’t all that glamorous, but really help us tick along well. Things like your favourite extra-strength deodorant or anti-chafe stick – you know the type. Well, this is an ode to one of my current essentials: the E45 Lips & Dry Skin Balm .
From the makers of everyone’s favourite, trusty dry skin cream comes a little tube of magic that makes all of your skincare woes go away. Better yet? It currently has 40% thanks to Amazon’s annual Prime Day event – but you’ll need to be quick as that ends on July 17. Non-oily and fast absorbing, the does-it-all balm softens, nourishes and effectively moisturises exactly where you need it to, specially formulated for chapped and cracked lips, as well as small dry skin patches on the body and the hands.
And no, it’s not ‘just vaseline’, it’s SO much more. Formulated with highly purified lanolin, vitamin E and beeswax, the E45 balm helps your skin regenerate when it’s feeling worse for wear, not just keep it hydrated. While I love it for my lips (it keeps them so satisfyingly hydrated), I’ve found its unmatched for dry skin patches like eczema and dermatitis, too.
Dry elbows? Check. Flaky eyelids? Double.
