Neal's Yard

[Chimichangaz]

I’ve been invited to a Neals Yard party in a week or so - any recommendations? I’m early 50s, menopausal, combination skin, don’t want to spend a fortune but happy to buy one or two products.

TIA

They do a wild rose balm which is gorgeous.

Frankincense nourishing cream - one of the very best night creams on the market for older skin.

Geranium and orange bath stuff.

Rose balm

Like buses, two Neal's Yard threads turn up at once!

Have they really branched out into parties? And it used to be such a good brand.

I used to be a fan but think it's all smoke and mirrors. They market on it being 'natural' but that doesn't mean effective or that the products are 100% 'natural'. I think they are okay but I also think their philosophy is what pushes up their prices .

I've had the franc products- nice, but all highly perfumed and not sure how much of any active ingredients are in it all.

I rate their body products. I use the oils as body moisturisers and the bath oils are super nice, however none of their face products worked for me. I found that they irritated my combination/sensitive skin. I got my mum the Frankincense moisturiser. She found it too heavy and didn't see much difference in her skin.

I have the Rose Beauty Balm too - would be interested to know how other people use it?
