I was catching up on some magazine reading this morning (if you saw the massive stack I have accumulated, you would laugh. When it's become almost like a chore to power through some, you know you have a serious problem). Anyway, in one issue of Lucky they were asking people what their go-to winter skin product is and I was shocked that no one mentioned Skincando's Combat-Ready Balm. I feel it's my ProductWhore duty to bring this product to the forefront because it should not be overlooked. This wonderfully rich salve is all-natural and was crafted in the kitchen of Sara Damelio who was in search of the greatest salve to cure all skin woes. Man, she really did her homework! I have seriously not used a better salve than Combat-Ready. It smells slightly of lemongrass which I adore and cured my horribly red, dry and irritated nose (from the nasty cold my son lovingly gave me) which was no small feat. I have used all sorts of products in the past to help with my skin during the winter (you know, dry elbows, feet, nose, chapped hands) and until now have not found something that really, truly works. I love, love, love this product and would recommend to anyone. If it wasn't good enough to just have a great salve, Sara and her team allow you to donate jars of Combat-Ready to servicemen and women overseas for 50% off. What a wonderful way to give back to our troops and get yourself a treat, as well. Because this stuff is still made in small batches and is all-natural, the shelf life is about a year, so you may want to go with the 2 oz size to start (it does come in the cutest glass container, by the way) until you're sure you can get through the big size. Combat-Balm will be happy to know it's made my must-haves for Christmas list (forthcoming, of course). Retails for $25.00 for 2 oz size.
Note: A sample of this product was sent to me by Skincando.
