Nelsons Calendula Review

23 March 2014 by Eileen

Need a little pamper?  Nelsons have a range of great value beauty products that could help.  Maybe you could spoil yourself with a bottle of Nelsons Arnicare Bath & Massage Balm.  It helps to soothe and relax after a tiring day while Evening Primrose and Sweet Almond Oil naturally hydrate and nourish skin.  It costs £8.15 and is available from Boots.

Nelsons Mother Day Gift

I am very impressed with the balm.  It is not overly greasy and is easy to absorb.  Add 2 full caps under running water for a luxurious milky bath.  I normally prefer showers rather than baths so I just applied a bit of it on skin under the shower and massaged.  It is soothing and relaxing.  I love the smell, it is gorgeous.  The only downside of the product is the bottle cap.  I wish the cap was more like a tomato sauce’s top which would be much easier to pour without wastage.

Nelsons Cream

Or rescue your skin with the RESCUE Cream, which contains the famous combination of five flower essences (RESCUE) – Cherry Plum, Impatiens, Star of Bethlehem, Rock Rose, Clematis – plus the cleansing essence, Crab Apple.  It costs £5.65 for 30g and £7.75 for 50g.

The cream is easy to apply and non-greasy.  I applied the cream around my foot and I nearly slipped off as my skin was instantly so smooth.  So becareful where you apply it.  It does smell of mild medicated flora but it did not bother me.  I love how it left my skin feeling nourished!

I also tried the Nelsons Calendula which is a multi-purpose cream to nourish dry and tired skin.  It’s prepared using the purest extracts from the Calendula (Marigold) plant, famous for its multiple skin conditioning properties.  It is priced at £5.09 for 30ml tube and £6.93 for a 50ml tube and available from Boots, Holland & Barrett and independent pharmacies and health food stores.

This cream is not as thick as the Rescue cream.  It is absorbed very quickly and also smell mild mediated flora.  When rubbing on my leg, it feel silky and smooth.
