Sympathy for the Skin has a light, creamy texture that soaks into the skin quickly. A tiny little scoop of the lotion will be able to cover whatever body part you wish to moisturise. It doesn’t leave the skin feeling greasy nor does it leave you at danger of sliding all over the place should you fall over at any point (is it just me who has this fear?).
I wouldn’t use this on my face mainly because it’s the wrong consistency for it. It’s quite similar to yoghurt (consistency wise that is, don’t actually eat it) so it’s easy to rub into your skin and it won’t drip all over the place.
It has a subtle vanilla meets sandalwood scent that isn’t overpowering and fades over time. The smell doesn’t affect anything else you may apply to your skin (e.g. perfume, body lotion, bacon) and it can be easily covered up with a body lotion or perfume should you not be a fan of vanilla.
The ingredients in Sympathy for the Skin may be perfect for all of you eczema sufferers. It contains bananas mixed with almond oil, cocoa butter and vanilla pod infusion. It also contains sandalwood which works wonders for dry skin.
I use this all over my body but focus specifically on my neck and on my inner elbow as that’s where my eczema flare ups tend to occur. So far my neck has been eczema free since using this despite the fact I’ve been eating a lot of dairy which is my eczema trigger. I currently have a patch of eczema on my inner left elbow which is starting to die down dramatically. My skin hasn’t been itchy nor has it felt like it’s on fire since I started using Sympathy for the Skin.
Basically Sympathy for the Skin is perfect. I genuinely can’t find anything wrong with it and I’ll be running to Lush when my tub runs out. I love it so much I’d actually consider giving the creator of Sympathy for the Skin my last Rolo.
