Weleda Skin Food 30ml is a deeply nourishing and protective cream specifically formulated for individuals experiencing **dry and rough skin**. Its key win is its ability to create a fine protective barrier against harsh environmental elements while intensely repairing skin. While highly effective for its intended purpose, its rich texture may be too heavy for those with oily or combination skin types, as it is designed for intensive moisturization.

Weleda Skin Food is renowned for its intensive moisturizing and protective capabilities, especially for skin exposed to environmental stressors. Its unique formulation provides immediate relief and long-lasting comfort.
Upon application, the rich cream forms a protective layer on the skin, helping to lock in moisture and shield against dryness. Users typically experience immediate softness and a noticeable reduction in skin roughness. The natural extracts contribute to a calming sensation, particularly on chapped or irritated skin.
Winter Weather Protection: Apply a thin layer to exposed skin (face, hands) before heading outdoors in cold, windy conditions to prevent chapping and dryness.
Intensive Hand Cream: Ideal for gardeners, manual laborers, or anyone with dry, cracked hands. Apply generously at night and wear cotton gloves for an overnight treatment.
Elbows and Knees: Use on rough patches for softening and smoothing, especially after bathing when skin is still slightly damp.
Overnight Face Treatment: For very dry facial skin, use as a nourishing night cream. Apply a pea-sized amount and gently massage into the skin.
Post-Sun Exposure: Helps to soothe and rehydrate skin after sun exposure, though it is not a sunscreen.
Dry Patches: Target specific areas of extreme dryness, such as around the nose during a cold, or on patches of eczema-prone skin (always patch test first).
Cleanse Skin: Ensure the skin area where you intend to apply Skin Food is clean and dry (or slightly damp for better absorption).
Dispense: Squeeze a small amount (a pea-sized drop often suffices for a small area like hands) onto your fingertips.
Warm: Gently rub the cream between your palms or fingertips to warm it slightly, making it easier to spread.
Apply: Massage into the skin with gentle, circular motions until absorbed. For very dry areas, you can apply a thicker layer.
Frequency: Use as needed, daily for consistent dryness, or occasionally for targeted relief.
Age Group: Formulated for adult skin.
Skin Type: Best suited for dry, very dry, or rough skin types. Those with normal, oily, or combination skin may find its richness too heavy, particularly on the face.
Body Areas: Safe and effective for use on face, hands, elbows, knees, and other areas experiencing dryness or roughness.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Excessive heat can alter the cream's consistency.
Cap Securely: Always replace the cap tightly after each use to prevent contamination and drying out.
Shelf Life: Refer to the PAO (Period After Opening) symbol (often an open jar icon with a number followed by 'M', e.g., '6M' for 6 months) on the packaging for how long the product is safe to use once opened.
