My thoughts on Dr.PawPaw Balm-

Price-
So we all know how the pennies can add up , especially if you are looking for a single product for each problem area.
I have spent so much on moisturiser for dry skin, lip balms for chapped lips, highlighter for contouring , nail oils and hair balms , add the price of each product together and I am sure it will all add to a hefty price.
This balm does all of that and for only £6.95 it is most definitely a bargain . I personally think this is a must buy and being in a handy 25ml tube it is easy to carry everywhere to .

Packaging-
Being the first time owning a Dr.Pawpaw , I was pleasantly surprised as to how the bright and cheerful yellow tube put a smile on my face.
Having one of these in my over run with everything except the kitchen sink in my handbag , it was easy to find amongst the drab and dark contents inside .
The instructions are easy, In fact they would indeed not even be needed due to the fact that there are so many uses for it, just put it anywhere , any time and enjoy the effects.

Scent and texture-
There is no scent, nothing at all .
The texture is exactly like a balm should be, oily feel and easy to smoothen on the skin a lot like vaseline. The only difference with this balm is that my skin does not feel left with the greasy feeling after a short time as it soaks into the skin very well .

My Conclusion-
Since having this cheerful tube in my handbag a couple of months ago, I have since found myself using it more and more.
Once you squeeze the thick balm from the tube it melts into a dreamy base for your skin .
I have been using it mainly as a primer before applying my makeup to keep the foundation stay put especially around the dry areas on my nose and forehead. It has truly been a god send to me.
My evenings consist of applying the balm to my once was dry hard cuticles and skin around my nail bed and in only a couple of uses , my skin is soft and subtle .
The balm is easy to be carried everywhere and I have found myself taking this everywhere with me , from camping trip in the countryside to a romantic hotel break in the city.

I have not tried the other ranges of this brand and would certainly be intrigued to do so but for me this balm is my new essential for almost everything my skin needs and it has nourished and replenished my skin within days .

The first use gives an instant effect of perfect moisturised skin, it feels so soft and baby like  and my skin is glowing healthily.

For anyone who loves a multipurpose balm , I strongly suggest buying this and taking it with you everywhere.

Just like they say on the tube it self-

Don't leave home without it!
