Are you familiar with flower remedies? I think it's quite popular in the US and the UK as I've seen the products on websites in both countries. It's not yet so big in Japan, as well as aromatherapy, apparently Japanese people don't believe in the power of plants / flowers much. There were people who said "Aromatherapy, Flower therapy, Holistic Beauty, Homeopathy...those are like dreams. They don't work actually, but people try to believe in them" ...I don't agree with those people at all, because the power of nature is beyond humans' imaginings for sure.
This cream is called "Bach Flower Remedies Rescue Cream", I got it for about $7 from vitacost, which is really cheap because it costs more than 2,000yen in Japan!
RESCUE®
Cream is an intensive moisturizer designed to soothe dry, irritated, or
damaged skin caused by the stresses and strains of everyday life. As a
well-known indicator of how the body feels inside, our skin is often the
first place where you see the effects of a demanding, busy life. This
can lead to dry, rough, uneven, dull looking skin.
With regular use, RESCUE cream effectively repairs and helps protect the skin against environmental influences and other stress factors. RESCUE cream is a combination of the famous flower essence Rescue Remedy developed by Dr. Bach, and the Bach® Original Flower Remedy Crab Apple, which offers both cleansing and emotional support of appearance. Gentle, safe, and suitable for the whole family.
This cream is a truly a rescue cream. Whenever I get insect bites, or burn my finger, or get a paper cut, pimples, irritated skin, anything happens to my skin, I apply a pea-sized amount of this cream, and it'll work magically.
The other day I got a huge insect bite, which was really itchy and red. It was bothering me so much, and I decided to put this cream on it. It didn't reduce redness at all but definitely reduced itchiness immediately.
I don't include this cream in my skincare routine but it's a must-have item for sure. The flower remedy is also good I heard, have you ever used them? Did it work?
