My Bobbi Brown associate suggested this product when I told her about how dry my lips, hands, and skin in general have been. We live in Chicago and the brutal cold weather has not been helpful. She gave me a sample to try, letting me to know that just a little would do the trick depending on what area I'd be using it on. Well, I absolutely loved it - it really started to make a difference on my cuticles, fingertips, lips, etc. I contacted her and asked her to please order a full size for me. Now, my daughter wants it also!
I have been suffering from dry patches on my forehead and this BB Extra Soothing Balm has completely cured them. I have also used it as a cuticle softener and put it on my lips at night before bed. I have normal to dry skin and am prone to the occasional breakout if I use “oils” on my face this balm has not caused breakouts at all. It leaves my skin hydrated, smooth and not at all greasy. I have also used it prior to applying makeup and it has not interfered with makeup application.
Initially, I bought this item by mistake, thinking it was the extra hydrating lotion that I use and love. Now, I absolutely adore this product! A small amount, worked in my fingertips until it gets smooth and supple, then patted onto my face before bed, lets me wake up with a well hydrated face. I even put a little on my cuticles to keep them moist and healthy. Fabulous!
