This Miracle Product Might Be The Answer To Your Impossibly Dry, Sensitive Skin

WHAT: Furtuna Rinascita delle Olive Replenishing Balm

WHY: Well. It’s happened. The cold snap of winter is upon us and our skin is … not amused. 

We’re flaky. We’re blotchy. We’re red. We’re so very, very tight. None of our normal potions work around this time, so we basically spend every moment trying new regimens, thicker lotions, more occlusive creams, and while we’ve discovered many in the sort of B to B- range, there was one product that is now something we cannot, and will not, live without, as the final step in our skincare routine at night. 

And we are telling you here and now, if you are a dry husk, this is the answer. 

Enter: The Replenishing Balm by Furtuna Skin.

 
 

So we discovered this brand, Furtuna, last year when we realized they make the single most amazing oil that essentially got rid of our vertical chest lines. Oh yes. There’s a before and after photo. It’s real. And so, when we find a brand that makes something we love, we tend to try more of their stuff. And listen. Nearly everything Furtuna makes is just sumptuous and gorgeous and feels delicious and smells like a dream and makes our skin look fat and plump and happy. 

But we realized that when we use this balm at night, as a last step over moisturizer, over retinol, or even just on its own as a moisturizing mask, not only was our skin hydrated and plump the next morning, we also noticed that our texture was improved, our redness was all but gone, and our skin looked so much brighter overall. Oh, and the handful of us who tried it all have sensitive or reactive skin. 

 
 

So, it’s a solid balm, but it melts into the skin on contact. And the fact that you only need  so little for each application makes the price infinitely easier to manage—we use the little metal spoon to scoop out a baby pea size amount and it covers our face, neck, and chest. In fact, this is where one of us is with it after daily use for 4 months:

 
 

Ok, but what makes it different? Better? Why is it better than just rubbing, say, nivea, all over our face? Well. Let’s get into it:

1. First, it’s 100% free of parabens, phenoxyethanol, phthalates, synthetic fragrances, synthetic colors/dyes, GMOs, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, ethanolamines, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, hydroquinone, mineral oil, plus another 1,300+ ingredients banned by the European Union.

2. Next, it’s made with actually natural ingredients. Not natural like “Lay’s Natural kettle cooked potato chips” where that word is being used in an utterly meaningless way. All ingredients are sustainably sourced from an organic farm in Sicily. 

3. It’s made with 5 wild-foraged organic plants that are immensely potent:

  • wild carrot (for textured skin/rosacea)

  • wild calamint (soothing skin irritation)

  • wild dandelion (reduces inflammation)

  • wild hawthorn (inhibits wrinkle formation)

  • wild bristly oxtongue (reduces excema)

4. Lastly, the star of the show, is organic olive oil, harvested from the 12,000 olive trees on the family-owned, sustainable Furtuna Farm. And olive oil contains A, D, K, and E, protects against environmental damage, but most importantly, prevents water loss. So as the very last step of your regimen, this balm creates a barrier that seals water in your skin, thus keeping ALL your natural moisture from escaping into the air. And this, friends, is the game changer. This is what keeps your skin looking and feeling plump and soft and utterly, completely hydrated, even in the dead of winter. And yet, it never irritates, will never feel heavy on combination or even oily skin, and never made us break out. Aka? Hallelujah. 

Are we sort of swept away by the storybook beauty of this brand? Of course. We’re merely human. But the truth is, no matter how rhapsidic a brand story is, if the products don’t work, who cares? But this brand has both. 

We were so enamored with the Furtuna balm that we asked the team for a custom code for you to help offset the price, and they were kind enough to offer a code of 20% off your order. This isn’t sponsored, just trying to make it that much easier for you to try this miracle product. 

Let us know if you try it and love it, too.
