Best EVER Lip Balm with SPF That Feels Like CREAM - Elizabeth Arden
The Iconic Eight Hour Cream: Beyond Lip Protection
While the Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick SPF15 is specifically formulated for lips, the broader Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream collection has gained significant popularity. This iconic apricot-coloured ointment, a bestseller for over 90 years and reportedly a favorite of Queen Elizabeth II, is renowned for its ability to impart skin with a lit-from-within glow and instantly soothe dry patches.
The enduring appeal of the Eight Hour Cream was highlighted by its mention in Prince Harry's memoir, "Spare." He shared an unconventional use for the all-purpose cream stemming from an incident of frostbite during a trip to the North Pole. While the memoir doesn't explicitly name the Eight Hour Cream for this specific use, its distinctive scent, which triggers memories of his mother who used it as a lip balm, strongly suggests it.
This anecdote raises questions about the safety of using the ointment on sensitive areas. Dermatologists like Renée Beach advise against using the cream on genitals due to the presence of potentially irritating fragrance agents and derivatives, which could cause discomfort on delicate skin.
Versatile Applications of Eight Hour Cream
Despite any misuse, the Eight Hour Cream formula remains a classic for several reasons, offering a wide range of applications:
1. All-Over Moisturizer
Primarily, the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream excels at soothing dry, itchy skin. It provides essential hydration to areas such as elbows, knees, legs, feet, and any other rough patches on the body.
2. Slugging Alternative
The cream can effectively replace petroleum jelly in the popular skincare practice of "slugging," helping to seal in moisture and promote skin repair.
3. Brow Gel
For those with unruly brows, the Eight Hour Cream acts as an effective brow gel. A tiny amount squeezed onto a finger can be worked into the brows to shape and set them, creating a desired look.
4. Eye Gloss
Achieving the trendy glossy eyelid look is made simple with this cream. A small amount can be applied to the eyelids for a subtle, luminous finish.
5. Overnight Treatment for Hands and Feet
Apply a generous amount of the cream to your hands and/or feet before bed. Allowing the product to work overnight will leave these areas feeling exceptionally soft and rejuvenated.
6. Cuticle Balm
Swap your regular cuticle oil for a small amount of Eight Hour Cream. Gently massaging the product all around the nail bed can help to condition and soften cuticles.
7. Anti-Frizz Hair Treatment
To combat frizz and flyaways, warm a small amount of the cream between your fingers and gently smooth it over frizzy areas. For extra control, you can follow up by smoothing down with a small hairbrush.
8. Nipple Cream Alternative
In situations where dedicated nipple cream is unavailable, the Eight Hour Cream can serve as a soothing alternative for breastfeeding mothers.
