REVIEW | Premae Skin Care Harmony Face Balm

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Premae, a new luxury skin care company dedicated to producing allergen-free skin care. They offered to send me a product that claimed to be allergen-free, water free and kind to acnegenic skin. As I hadn’t heard of the company before I decided to do a bit of research into the company first before agreeing to try their product.

           

            The product I have been trying out is the Harmony Face Balm for Combination Skin Types. The product comes in a 50ml tin and is, as the name suggests, a hard balm, similar to the consistency of Vaseline. The balm contains all natural ingredients (the full list can be found on their website here).

            I received the Harmony Face Balm 2 weeks ago and have been using it every day, both morning and night. I have found the best way to apply this is to take a small amount and apply straight to your face, a little in each area (the cheeks, forehead, nose and chin) and then to massage in with your fingertips. Although the product has a waxy texture, as soon as it comes into contact with your skin it melts instantly into a liquid, making it easy to distribute evenly over your skin. In the morning I do use a smaller amount as it does take a little while to sink into your skin, and if you’re trying to get ready in a hurry it isn’t best to put your makeup on until this product has completely settled into your skin. The product says it is for combination skin, obviously, I can’t comment on whether or not this product would actually be suitable as I have been using this on me, and my skin is incredibly dry. The only thing I can say is that I would be a little bit cautious on using this product if you did have slightly more oily t-zone as the product can leave my skin feeling quite greasy for a while if I use too much.

            I definitely think this product gives great benefit to your skin, as it is incredibly nourishing and moisturising. I have been suffering from a cold and where I would usually get an incredibly dry nose from using tissues, I have been applying the balm to just my nose a few times a day and it has definitely helped the dryness that usually occurs! I have also been using a little bit on my lips and it leaves them feeling really great too. The balm is completely unscented which is great for people with sensitive skin.

            The Harmony Face Balm doesn’t come cheap at £18 for 50ml, however as you only need to use a small amount, it will definitely last a long time. I’ve been using it every day for two weeks and you can hardly notice that any has gone from the tin. It’s also great as you can see how much product you’re using and can regulate how much you need each day.

           

            I would be really interested in trying some of the products purely designed for dry skin, as I’m not sure how this product would sit on someone with combination skin.
