For half of the year, my skin is more or less fine. But once fall and winter come around, it’s dry city. My hands, nails, and cuticles start to crack, and while I don’t have an official rosacea diagnosis, my cheeks become semi-permanently flushed and red. Honestly, sometimes my cheeks will just hurt because they’re so dehydrated. Twice daily moisturizer, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid help but don’t fully do the trick to provide my skin relief.
With fall just beginning, my dry, red cheeks are already starting to make their annual appearance. I was looking to find something to keep my skin nourished and hydrated, which is why I was excited to find out that Balmonds was launching in the U.S. Their products check my two main skincare boxes: they’re made with high-quality ingredients and each individual item is under $40.
