Sanctuary Spa Moisture Miracle Oil Balm

It seems moisturisation is up there  at the top of our beauty concerns, so those lovely people at Sanctuary Spa have come up with this little tube of moisture goodness to see us through the dry patches, and keep us well hydrated into summer and beyond.

The 7 Day Moisture Miracle Oil Balm is a handbag-sized product formulated with seven precious oils, which the Sanctuary Spa say will give you hydration for seven days! The oils are Gold of Pleasure Oil, Corn Oil, Jojoba Seed Oil, Grape Seed Oil, Olive Oil, Rice Germ Oil and Camelina Seed Oil.

You can use this oil/balm anywhere you like, pretty much – hands, cuticles, elbows, heels, face, hair – wherever you like really. You only need a little – you squeeze it out, and when you rub it in the balm turns into an oil.

For the price (£7.25) this is a lovely little product – it does offer good moisturisation. However, my only gripe with it is that it is quite heavily perfumed, so if you don’t like anything that is too strong-smelling, be warned that this is quite strong.

I’ve not tried it on my face, but Celebrity Facialist and Sanctuary Spa Skincare Expert, Nichola Joss has, and has a tip for the summer holidays.

“Keep this multi-tasking balm in your hand luggage while travelling and use it as a super-hydrating face mask on flights,” she says. “Warm the balm in your palms and massage into your face when you get on the plane; the rich and nourishing oils will sink into skin leaving it feeling soft and looking radiant and nourished, even after a long-haul flight.

“Oils have endless benefits and are unbeatable at keeping skin soft, hydrated and healthy looking. I keep this multi-tasker in my handbag at all times. It’s my go-to product for keeping my skin, and even my hair, healthy and hydrated while I’m on the go.”
