I wanted a product that was 100% organic and the one brand that came up was Balm Balm. I like the idea that all pure, but apart from that, my skin did not react to it very well. I have combination which goes from oily to dry and recently my skin has been getting dryer than normal. Initially, when I put this balm on for the first 2 days, my skin was exceptionally soft. But it was on the third day that things started to go crazy. My skin started to break out uncontrollably. I was terrified and stopped using it immediately. I'm not sure whether I got a negative reaction to it but it wasn't pretty. It took 2 weeks to recover. I've read good reviews about this face balm all over the web but my experience was not a happy one. To be fair, because I didn't want to waste the product, I used it on my body areas instead such as the lips, elbows and cuticles. It works very well in these areas. Just not on the face. The unscented balm is great and I like it on my body - not the face. |
