Simple Hydrate+ Gel Cream – Review

If you’re on the hunt for a straightforward, no-fuss moisturiser that delivers hydration without heaviness, the Simple Hydrate+ Gel Cream is one of those quietly reliable products that deserves a spot on your skincare shelf and it is just £9.99 in Boots!

True to the brand’s gentle, sensitive-skin philosophy, this moisturiser focuses on effective hydration and barrier support without unnecessary extras — and sometimes that’s exactly what your skin needs.

First impressions are really positive. The texture sits somewhere between a gel and a cream — it has that light, bouncy, almost water-gel consistency that feels instantly refreshing when it touches the skin. It spreads effortlessly and melts in within seconds, leaving no greasy film or tackiness behind. Instead, you’re left with soft, smooth, comfortable skin that feels hydrated but breathable. It’s the kind of finish that works beautifully under makeup and doesn’t pill when layered with SPF or serums.

One of my favourite things about this gel cream is the cooling sensation on application. It feels soothing and calming, especially in the morning or during warmer weather, and it’s a great option if your skin gets easily overwhelmed by heavier creams. If you’ve ever found rich moisturisers clogging your pores or sitting on the surface of your skin, this lightweight formula will feel like a welcome change. It’s particularly well suited to combination, oily, or sensitive skin types, but even normal skin will appreciate how comfortable and balanced it feels.

Ingredient-wise, Simple keeps things minimal and skin-friendly. The standout hydrator here is hyaluronic acid, which helps draw moisture into the skin and keep it looking plump and healthy throughout the day. The formula is also designed to support the skin barrier, helping to reduce dryness and prevent that tight, dehydrated feeling. As you’d expect from Simple, it skips common irritants and is typically free from fragrance, alcohol, and artificial colours, making it a safe bet for sensitive or reactive skin. This gentle, “less is more” approach really helps minimise the risk of irritation while still delivering consistent results.

In everyday use, it layers beautifully with the rest of a routine. It works well both morning and night, sits nicely under makeup without causing shine, and provides enough hydration to keep skin comfortable all day. If you have very dry skin, you might prefer something richer at night, but for daytime wear or lighter hydration needs, it’s spot on.

Overall, the Simple Hydrate+ Gel Cream is a dependable, affordable moisturiser that does exactly what it promises. It won’t overwhelm your skin with heavy textures or complicated actives — it simply hydrates, soothes, and keeps things balanced. If you love a fresh, gel-like formula and want fuss-free moisture that works for sensitive skin, this is definitely one to try.

Looking After Your Skin While On A Skiing Holiday

The skiing is a rite of passage for many households, if not an annual staple; after all, holidaymaking isn’t just a summer pursuit. Sometimes, we need that little winter firebreak before the mad rush of Christmas and its relentless preceding days – and what better way to calm the mind than by hurtling down a slope on two thin boards, followed closely by your loved ones?

Thrilling as ski holidays are, there’s more to worry about than the risk of hurty knees and bruised pride. Indeed, ski trips pose a significant risk to our health in another way – namely, our skin. The combination of cold temperatures, high winds and bright sunshine do not a glowing complexion make. Let’s take a look at the exact risks posed by ski holidays, then, and figure out how to ensure you remain your glowing best.

Getting to Your Ski Resort

When planning a skiing holiday, it’s not just your skincare routine you need to think about — how you’ll get to the resort is just as important. After a flight into France, many skiers choose a direct transfer to avoid the stress of navigating unfamiliar roads or public transport while carrying ski gear.

If you’re heading to the French Alps, particularly La Plagne, arranging a reliable transfer in advance can help your trip start smoothly. A pre-booked transfer from Lyon to La Plagne offers a comfortable and convenient way to reach the resort, leaving you free to relax and focus on enjoying your ski holiday.

Arriving calm and stress-free also helps you settle in quicker — which is always a bonus when you’re dealing with cold mountain air and looking after your skin in extreme weather conditions.

Shielding Your Skin From Intense Sun

The key philosophy behind skincare and protection when going to any new environment is simply this: protection from environmental factors. Your skin barrier is vital not just for the fairness of your complexion, but also for your general wellbeing; ensuring this is up to new challenges is vital for the overall betterment of your skin. With this in mind, what are the key direct environmental factors to consider during last-minute ski holidays? There is one immediate one, and it’s not the one you think.

The sun is a major risk to skin health, with considerable thanks to two facts: that UV exposure is amplified at altitude; and that snow has a high albedo, meaning it reflects the sun’s rays right back at you. With all this in mind, high-SPF sunscreen and lip balm are non-negotiables.

Hydration And Moisture In Cold, Dry Mountain Air

The sun is an oft-forgotten environmental factor but, of course, it isn’t the only environmental factor. Ski holidays are famously cold, and mountains are famously windy too – a perfect storm of conditions for wicking away the moisture in your skin (not helped by the high altitude, either). As such, hydration is key, as is the packaging-up of some rich cream-based moisturisers and layering serums + creams for a comprehensive moisturising programme.

Protecting Often-Neglected Areas

Skincare is neglected on skiing trips mainly for the fact that much of our bodies are usually covered. We’re top-to-bottom wrapped in ski-wear, from boots to over-clothes to ski goggles and gloves, so why do we need to think about skin? Well, there’s plenty of ways for the environment to affect our skin between sessions, besides which there are areas on show that we easily forget about – including the lips and ears. Lips are especially vulnerable for lacking sebaceous glands; a decent lip balm with SPF50+ can be a life-saver.

Discover the Balmonds Skin Salvation Balm — Your Skin’s New Best Friend

If you or someone in your life struggles with dry, sensitive or eczema-prone skin, then you need to know about Balmonds Skin Salvation and it is just £15 for a 50ml tin in Boots (here) and if you are quick, you can buy one, get one half price!

This award-winning, natural balm is a true multitasker — and here’s why it's a must-have in your skincare arsenal.

 

What Is Balmonds Skin Salvation?

Balmonds Skin Salvation is a 100% natural barrier balm specially formulated to soothe and protect fragile, itchy or inflamed skin. Dermatologically tested on atopic skin, it supports the skin’s natural barrier and helps reduce water loss while shielding you from external irritants.

It’s paediatrician-approved and gentle enough to use on babies from six weeks old, yet powerful enough to be applied during flare-ups of eczema and psoriasis.  I have been using it on my hands and cuticles, my lips, around my nose and even on my ears, the cold weather snap we are currently experiencing really does dry your skin out with the return of central heating.

 

Key Ingredients & Their Skin Benefits

One of the standout features of Skin Salvation is its clean, gentle and effective formula. Key ingredients include:

• Olive oil (Olea Europaea) – deeply nourishing and hydrating
• Beeswax (Cera Alba) – creates a natural protective moisture barrier
• Safflower seed oil (Carthamus Tinctorius) – softens and conditions the skin
• Hemp seed oil (Cannabis Sativa) – rich in essential fatty acids that help support the skin barrier
• Botanical extracts, including calendula, chamomile, chickweed and nettle, which help soothe and calm irritated skin

All ingredients are natural, and many are organic, making this balm a gentle choice for sensitive skin types.

 

What Can You Use It For?

Skin Salvation is incredibly versatile, making it ideal for:

• Daily moisturising for dry or eczema-prone skin
• Calming flare-ups with a thick application
• Use anywhere on the body — including face, hands, eyelids and nappy area
• Overnight intensive treatment, with or without wraps
• Soothing cracked heels, irritated hands, tattoos, or even acting as a barrier during hay fever season

 

Why People Love It

Users consistently praise Skin Salvation for its effectiveness and comfort:

• Does not sting on application
• Helps reduce itchiness associated with dry or irritated skin
• Improves the overall appearance and condition of the skin
• Highly rated across customer review platforms, with many calling it “life-changing” for eczema or severely dry skin

Many users rely on it as a staple within their family skincare routines.  It has fit into my routine as easily as any other skincare products, the silver lining with this Skin Salvation balm is that it is packaged inside a handy on-the-go tin, so it fits into your handbag without adding excess weight.

How to Use Skin Salvation Effectively

• Patch test first — Always test a small amount on sensitive areas before full use.
• Apply to clean skin using clean hands or a spatula.
• Use generously — Layer throughout the day or apply a thick layer overnight.
• Boost overnight hydration with cotton gloves, socks or soft wraps.
• Avoid direct sun exposure immediately after use — the balm is oil-based with no SPF.
• Warm product if needed — as the balm can firm up in colder weather due to its beeswax content.

Things to Consider

The balm is not vegan because it contains beeswax.  As a natural product, colour and texture may vary slightly between batches.

Balmonds offers a money-back guarantee for first-time buyers, which is reassuring if trying the product for the first time.

As with any skincare product, discontinue use if irritation occurs and seek clinical advice for persistent skin concerns.

 

Final Thoughts

If you're searching for a natural, effective balm that supports your skin barrier without harsh chemicals, Balmonds Skin Salvation is a standout choice. With its gentle formulation, multi-purpose benefits and glowing customer feedback, it’s no surprise that this balm has become a staple for those with dry, itchy or sensitive skin.

Whether you're dealing with eczema, very dry skin or simply want a reliable protective balm, Skin Salvation could be the soothing solution you’ve been searching for.

And if past years are anything to go by, 2025 is set to be bigger, better, and more beauty-filled than ever!

For now, I’ve rounded up some of the early Black Friday sales already offering exclusive early access sign-ups, so you can get notified as soon as the best beauty discounts and UK Black Friday deals go live — before everyone else.

Stay tuned, bookmark this post, and check back regularly — I’ll be updating it with all the top Black Friday beauty deals 2025 in the UK as they launch.
