Balmonds Skincare Review

amomentwithfranca · 15 January 2022 · 47 Comments

When it comes to skincare, I feel that natural is better, do you agree? Using products that are kinder to your skin can only be a good thing, especially at this time of year, when I received a gorgeous hamper of skincare products from Balmonds. I was so excited to try them to see if they were as good as they looked!

It came at the right time for me as I have been experiencing some changes with my skin and I have been struggling to find the right products to use.

About Balmonds

Balmonds specialise in all-natural skincare products designed by a mum who needed a skincare solution that was kind to her daughter’s sensitive skin. Using beeswax, oils and herbs, she created a balm now sold as Balmonds Skin Salvation which forms the heart of the range of products currently available.

Balmonds has a range of products alongside the multi-purpose beeswax balm to complete your skincare needs. The multipurpose balm is suitable for a range of skin conditions including, dry, cracked and itchy skin.

What We Thought Of Balmonds Skincare

I received the following products to try out;

  • Daily Moisturising Cream (£13.99)- a moderately rich cream made with shea and different nourishing oils.
  • Intensive Hand Cream (£10.99)- made with oils rich in essential fatty acids making it nutritious and ideal for hands or using as an intensive night cream.
  • Skin Salvation (£7.99)- made with beeswax and is multi-purpose, meaning you can use it as a primer for tattoo care, nappy balm, lip salve, and so much more.
  • Cooling Cream (£19.99)- a lotion containing essential oils aloe and menthol.
  • Intensive Facial Oil (£22.00) – is made with rosehip and lavender and is free from parabens, preservatives, petrochemicals, and perfumes.

I love that the products are made of natural ingredients, which is a bonus for me. My skin can change a lot with the cold weather; recently, it has become more sensitive.

I have been using the daily moisturising cream, and it is fantastic. I have struggled to find a day cream that works for my skin due to its sensitivity, but this is perfect for me; I love it so much. Before using this moisturiser, I was using my daughter’s eczema cream, but I haven’t had any allergic reaction to using the daily moisturiser.

One thing I wanted to mention is explicitly the Skin Salvation. Sienna loves playing on the monkey bars at the park, and it can make her hands dry and cracked. So we have been using the Skin Salvation and the Intensive Hand Cream, and it is making such a difference to the skin on her hands. I am impressed at how much of a difference they have made while still being kind to her skin.

The Balmonds Skincare range has been great for my family, and we are so impressed with how quickly we saw results from using the products. I love their Intensive Facial Oil that makes my skin so soft. If you are looking for an ineffective, all-natural skincare range that does what you need it to, I can’t recommend Balmonds enough.

Have you tried Balmonds Skincare before? Which of their products mentioned above are you more excited to try out first?

    No, I’ve not come across these products before, but they sound fab. I have very dry skin on my hands so would love to try the cream – and I like to change things up with my moisturiser every now and then too.

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru ✨The Costa Verde✨.Lima, the capital of Peru is located on the coast. Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road. It runs along the south-central part of the Lima coast. You can visit in the morning for a jog or in the evening to enjoy a relaxing walk. It is a very lively where people have fun in the open air..This is one of the best attractions on the coastal road. You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”. The monument to love was created by Peruvian artist Víctor Delfín. 6. 📸 Faro de Lima (lighthouse)7. 🎥 View of the Pacific Ocean from Barranco area where you can see Lima Marina Club, a members only club. .If you visit Lima, I highly recommend you to have a walk along this gorgeous area.
