The Aptly Named Miracle Balm

Last week, I made a slightly very bad decision by forgetting to wear sunscreen during a day at the beach. You'd think with my very pale skin I would know better than to be out without my daily SPF but alas that was not the case. As I'm sure you can guess, the outcome of this story was a whole lot of very raw, red, painfully sunburned skin that I was paying the price for over the course of several days. My shoulders and chest were so burned that even wearing a loose fitting shirt caused me pain, and nothing seemed to help in giving me any sort of relief from it. Even after the initial pain went down, my skin was left so raw and sensitive that it immediately became itchy and irritated.

Around this same time frame, I had picked up a few items from the lovely Elucx, an all-natural beauty brand I will be selling over at Healuxe Beauty. One of Elucx's bestsellers is their Miracle Balm, a wonderful little concotion that's perfect for helping out dry, itchy and irritated skin - a.k.a. the answer to my little sunburn problem. With healing ingredients such as Organic Calendula Extract, Organic Olive Oil, Organic Lavender Oil and Organic Plantain Extract, this thick formula immediately got to work alleviating my dry, itchy skin. After just one day of using this, my skin was noticeably less red and far more hydrated than it had been (which helped tremendously with the itching). For the following few nights, I slathered the Miracle Balm all over any afflicted areas and continued to be impressed by the results.

The Miracle Balm is truly one well named product - after carelessly burning my skin, it has helped alleviate all of the nasty side effects tremendously, leaving me with far healthier skin. And while I don't plan on having any more bouts with sunburn (fingers crossed) I'm happy to have this guy in my arsenal to bring out whenever my skin is in need of some extra healing. A little goes a long way, and I know this gem will have my back for a long time coming.
