I own a few multi-purpose balms but none of them get used as often as this one does as it wins hands down and its called Yu-Be (pronounced "YOO-BEE").
What is it exactly?
Yu-Be is Japan’s no.1 selling vitamin-enriched skincare cream with a unique super-moisturising glycerine formula enriched with Vitamin E, Vitamin B2 and Camphor. Perfect for dry areas like lips, elbows, knees, feet and cuticles, its non-greasy blend of antioxidants and camphor calm and protect the skin leaving it soothed, hydrated and super soft!
It has a uniquely high Glycerin content and absorbability achieved through a special manufacturing process in Japan, which makes Yu-Be Moisturizing Skin Cream so effective on serious dry skin and truly sets it apart from other creams.
Yu-Be Uses -
- You can use this absolutely anywhere on the body - even face & lips.
- Great to heal split cuticles & smooth rough, cracked and dry skin on hands, elbows, knees and feet, even severely dry skin.
- Non-greasy formula absorbs instantly and contains NO artificial colors, fragrances, petrolatum or SPF.
- Everyone can use this - women, men, even children! Great for nappy rash on babies & skin irritations.
- Treats eczema, psoriasis even frostbite?!!
- Can be used all year round, day or night.
- Makes a great massage cream! I have used this in my own treatments and also mixed it in with my regular products too.
- Use as a foot mask before bedtime, just apply, wear cotton socks and wake up with super soft feet.
- Great for after waxing, especially eyebrow waxing as calms and soothe redness.
- I love using this as a lip balm and hand cream too.
Its very rich in consistency so only a small amount is needed as you can see from above, a little goes a very long way! It does have that strong camphor smell to it but that soon disappears after its applied.
My Top Yu-Be Cream Use!
For all of you with a love of heated hair appliances i.e. hair straighteners, curling tongs etc I can guarantee that you have most probably burnt yourself at some point, which hurts like hell. If like me you have (several times) then hear this.... YOU NEED YU-BE!
I applied this to my finger which I burnt badly using my GHD's and no word of a lie, the pain went in seconds after applying some of this to the burn! It completely took away that awful stinging, throbbing sensation which seems to go on forever just like that! In my book, its worth it just for 'hair appliance SOS' purposes or any other burn.
In fact its so good it is in every possible place in our house like the bathroom, bedroom, my handbag, car, travel bag etc, even my husband has his own one and a back up one too, honest to god! He uses it all the time on burns, razor burns, dry patches, cuts etc which says something when a 'man' loves a product.
I cannot say enough good things about this product. It has saved my skin (literally) so many times now that it deserves an award. Thank you Japanese pharmacist, Yoshikiyo Nowatari, for bringing this into our lives.
