Best Natural Face Cream for Dry Skin!
I have been using a new natural face cream that is giving me life. Confession -- I would have started using this face cream sooner, but I judged a book by its cover. Admittedly, I 100% judged Ursa Major by the packing and instead picked pricier skincare products with luxe packaging that I was reacting to. I have very sensitive skin and dry skin btw.
Once I dug a little deeper, I found out that Ursa is a unisex brand that works hard on making their brand more accessible to everyone. OH MY GOSH, I truly appreciate this especially since so many beauty products are marketed towards women. I am used to purchasing very feminine driven/fancy packaging which doesn't mean the product was right for me.
Ursa Major is known for creating natural (plant powered), simple (grab and go) products that they themselves LOVE. Their products are simple and effective and that is so what I need at this phase in my life. And the cream jar is glass for all my plastic free friends!
Their Golden Hour Recovery Cream is known as a medicine ‘cabinet hero’. It is rich with a medium bodied natural scent (can’t smell it after you apply it), and is on the thicker side, but still whipped in texture. The cream absorbs very fast in the skin which is a must for most people. I like that it absorbs fast, but doesn’t feel matte after it absorbs — it’s the perfect mix of moisture and matte that you could want (in my opinion.) After you use the Golden Hour Recovery Cream, you get a nice healthy glow!
How to apply Golden Hour Recovery Cream:
I found that spraying my skin with Josh Rosebrook Hydrating Accelerator works well with Golden Hour. While my face is still damp from the spray, I apply the Golden Hour Recovery Cream all over my face and neck. A little does go a long way so start slow.
If I am having an extra dry or dehydrated day, I then apply the Indie Lee Squalane oil by pressing the oil into the dryer areas of my face. I apply this on top of the Golden Hour Recovery Cream to benefit from both the cream and the oil. You can read more about Squalane oils here. I will be showing you how I apply everything on my Instagram stories at some point @naturalmakeupchic
I am beyond thrilled that I expanded from my luxurious packaging lust and found Golden Hour Recovery Cream. I appreciate it’s simplicity and this cream is for sure a staple in my routine now. I really want you to try it too! Many of you ask me for affordable and effective moisturizers — this cream is absolutely for you. It runs about $48 and lasts for about 2 months in the winter. I will have to update you on how long it lasts me in the spring/summer.
Good news for you, I reached out to Ursa and fan girl’ed. They were happy to hear that I was having such a good experience with the product that they gave me a code for YOU to use for 15% off.
