Weleda Skin Revitalizing Day Cream (Evening Primrose) - 30ml

Moisturize Skin To Smooth, Hydrated Beauty

At Weleda, we use oil carefully extracted from evening primrose seeds to help restore your skin to beautiful harmony. One of the easiest and most efficient ways to replace vital essential fats to our skin is to apply them topically. Skin is the body’s largest organ and an exceptionally effective area to deliver hydration and lipids. Daily application is amongst the ways to help stimulate the body’s own production of these skin-balancing nutrients. Weleda’s Evening Primrose Oil is an occlusive, helps protect skin against moisture loss and hydrates rough patches. With regular use, the life force of the plant infuses radiance, hydration and glowing wellness to your skin.

Beautiful, night-blooming evening primrose is beneficial to mature skin due to its high concentrations of rich essential fatty acids.

For centuries, women of all ages have chosen evening primrose oil. Rare, precious and potent, NATRUE-certified Evening Primrose brings mature skin back into balance by helping the body revive its own processes–and returning your beauty to harmony.

Dry Skin

Dry skin can be a very frustrating condition. Nutritional supplements, especially essential fats can make a difference for most...

The skin is the largest organ in the body. Its function is to act as a barrier to the external environment, allow the exchange of water and to modify vitamins. Dry skin can be simple or complex.

When the skin is deficient in natural oils, it cannot hold adequate water in its cell which causes simple dry skin. Oil is important as it acts as a barrier, protecting the skin from water evaporation in upper layers of the skin while also providing lubrication. Simple dry skin is seen usually in women under 35 years.

Complex dry skin, skin that lacks oil and moisture, usually affects older adults and is associated with aging. Prolonged UV exposure damages the protein in the skin and will lead to the development of fine lines, enlarged pores and brown spots.

Dry skin appears dull, scaly, flaky, chapped or cracked, and develops fine lines and wrinkles more readily than healthy skin. It may feel tight after washing and be relieved when moisturizer is applied. It most commonly occurs in areas of the body that are exposed to the elements. It can be caused by nutrient deficiencies, dehydration, environmental factors (like dry heat, sun or wind), chemical use, cosmetics, excessive bathing and harsh soaps.

To fight dry skin topically, avoid chlorinated tap water for drinking and bathing. Stay out of the sun. Use gloves while handling any substance that irritates the skin. Avoid perfumes and colourings in laundry and personal hygiene products. Use glycerin and natural soaps to wash your body, face, and hair. Take oatmeal baths to relieve itching.
