This is another product from Kosmea’s Skin Clinic range, which has lots of products that offer intensive treatment for your skin. Skin Clinic Rescue Body Cream contains a bunch of ingredients that frankly sound awesome:

  • Certified organic rose hip butter
  • Certified organic everlasting oil
  • Certified organic shea butter
  • Chamomile essential oil
  • Rosemary leaf extract
  • Certified organic rose hip oil
  • Grapeseed oil
  • Carrot oil

The cream itself is thick, yellow and buttery – thicker than creams usually sold as “body butter”. It comes in a hygienic metal tube, and smells like pine wood.

It’s recommended for irritated skin (hence “rescue”). It’s also recommended for dry, itchy, flaky and sensitive skin, sun or wind-burnt skin, cracked heels and elbows, and reducing the appearance of stretch marks.

I have pretty bad rough skin on my thighs from my pole-dancing hobby. The problem is, well-moisturised skin helps you stick, but if you moisturise with occlusives the night before a class, you slip and it’s very dangerous when you’re hanging on by the back of a knee, upside down on the ceiling. So you want something super effective for the days that you do get to moisturise. Rescue Body Cream is pretty much perfect for this – it’s full of occlusives and emollients to soften and moisturise. It’s the most intensely moisturising cream I can ever remember using. It’s a great handcream as well, I’ve squeezed some into a little lip balm container to take around with me. I have man hands from said pole addiction, dry from grip aids and covered in callouses. Rescue Body Cream amazingly gets them soft in a day or two.

Unfortunately, it’s quite pricey to use as a daily moisturiser. I’m going save it for desperate situations, like the name suggests.
