If there is one thing that I swear by, it's definitely Sorbolene Cream - and I know my eczema/psoarisis sisters are out there saying hell yeah! Let me break it down for you.
So, what is sorbolene cream?
It's pretty much a basic, all-purpose cream that has been sent down from the heavens above.
Sorbolene is a simple combination of purified water, paraffin and glycerin. This cream is lipid free and non-alkaline making it suitable for those of us who have sensitive skin. The glycerin in sorbolene creates an effective barrier on the skin enabling the body to retain and continue to absorb moisture after application; glycerin is a perfect natural source of moisture for the quick relief of dry skin.
The simplicity of this product is what makes it so great. It is free from thickeners, colourings, fragrances, parabens, lanolin and excessive preservatives. This means it is unlikely to irritate your skin and doesn't clog your pores with nasty stuff!
What can I use it for?
Oh you know, only like, EVERYTHING. It is a wonder cream! I use it for different purposes almost every day and it provides the best moisture possible.
Skin specialists recommend this cream for treating dried and cracked skin for immediate relief. Sorbolene acts as a barrier between the skin and allergens, preventing the skin from being irritated due to its long wearing abilities.
Here’s a little list of its uses I've compiled:
- Body moisturizer
- Soap
- Face moisturizer
- Hand moisturizer
- Shaving lubricant
- Face mask (apply a thick layer and let it sit for 5mins and wash off)
- Treatment for dry skin and skin conditions (use in conjunction with your prescribed cream)
- After sun treatment
- Relief of itchy skin
How will my skin feel?
Prior to application your body will feel smooth, supple and radiant from regular use. The moisturizing properties of this cream will leave your skin feeling fresh and hydrated for a long time!
Is there anything bad about this product?
The only issue with this cream when applying as a moisturiser is that it can take a few minutes to absorb. I tend to apply it straight after the shower, pat my body over with the towel leaving my skin damp to touch and rub it all over and let it soak in while I dry my hair and apply my face skin care.
What brand should I get?
Irrespective of the brand, the composition of this product generally remains the same, which is why most other moisturizing creams (high-end) are developed using this composition for skin hydration. For just a few dollars you can pick up a litre of this bad boy to last you quite a while from supermarkets, priceline and chemists.
This is a product everyone should have at home! It may not be the most glamorous of the moisturizers but in my opinion it definitely wins best on field!
