Aveda Balancing Infusion for Dry Skin

I re-discovered one of the most amazing products I've ever had recently. Like I said in my dry mask post, I have horribly dry skin during the winter and I've tried so many different things to "heal" it some but nothing really did the trick. I stumbled upon my bottle of Aveda Balancing Infusion for dry skin the other day and decided that I'd see if that helped any. It was AMAZING.

So, here's what the Aveda website says about it.

Our highly-concentrated blend of pure flower and plant essences helps rehydrate skin and normalize the production of natural lubricants. Contains patchouli and ylang ylang oils to help soothe, jasmine to help energize and plant ceramides to help moisturize.

• Helps revitalize and restore balance to dry, stressed skin
• For normal to dry skin

It's an oil that you add to your moisturizer and it gives an extra boost of hydration.
I add two drops to two pumps of my Aveda "All Sensitive" moisturizer and it has helped my skin so much. My biggest problem areas were my cheeks, they were constantly dry and flaky no matter how much moisturizer I used. I tried exfoliating and it did practically nothing. Once I used the Balancing Infusion the dryness was gone immediately.

This was a miracle worker on my cuticles as well. Because of how often my hands are in water at school, my cuticles get really dried out and start to crack. I put some of the Balancing Infusion on them just to see what happened and literally the next day the dryness and cracks were completely gone. I was so surprised. Also, I've been using it every single day (which is two drops for my moisturizer, two drops for each hand, & two drops for each foot) and I haven't even put a dent in it so it lasts for a really long time.

They have other formulas of the product for sensitive & oily/acne skin as well, though I can't really speak for them since I've never tried those.
It retails for $21.00 at Aveda.com or at an Aveda store.

If you've tried it, let me know what you think! If not and you have dry skin, try it out, it's fantastic.

Thanks for reading!
