Advantages: Lovely smell, Super nourishing, cute tin, fab company Disadvantages: zero!
Burt's Beeshand salve is a god-send in a little tin. Not only can it be used for hands that need a little bit of TLC, but for all other areas of dry skin you may have.
The product is packed full of natural and high quality ingredients including almond oil, olive oil, beeswax and vitamin E Oil. All which help nourish and moisturise damaged or cracked skin. You can really feel it sinking into to any problem areas. I even use it as a lip balm when my lips feel dry and I feel it soothes them instantly. It has the same consistency as solid perfume which is great as it lasts for ages.
The smell is lovely and natural, you can definitely smell the rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus oils coming through.
I received my hand salve in a travel kit which contained several products. You can buy it on it's own for around £6 which is very ...
Advantages: hands look and feel great Disadvantages: I hated the almond smell
and after a week and a half's use, I've still got about a quarter left, so I would say that the full size would probably last quite a while.
So to conclude, all I can say, is that I have very mixed opinions on this product. In terms of moisturising and leaving my skin soft and supple, this is probably one of the best handcreams I have ever used. However, if you factor in the overly sweet almond scent, I wouldn't be anywhere near so positive. I really can't put up with the smell, and I also find the crème a bit too thick for my liking. I know Burt's Bees also do a BananaBeeswaxhand crème which I am interested to try some time, but I don't think I could buy this particular one again because the smell of it is far too sickly! If you like almond/marzipan scents though, I would suggest this is definitely worth trying.
*Please note, I have ...
Advantages: Smells of marzipan, makes my hands soft Disadvantages: Sticky and expensive
Burt?sBees Almond Milk BeeswaxHand Crème:
This is yet another of my mini Burt?sBees products that I got in a gift pack a while a go. This one has my favourite smell but I?ll tell you more about that later.
As some of you will know I love Burt?sBees and I could simply rave about them for ages; I will however show some restraint and simply tell you how they use fabulous natural ingredients like honey and beeswax and they care about the environment too. Check out their website at www.burtsbees.com; it is very cool and a very interesting site to read.
Now some of you don?t like the smell of almonds; if this is you step away from the hand crème now, in fact keep away from anyone who has applied this in the 24 hours. This hand crème smells of marzipan; I love it and will happily sniff myself when I am wearing this as marzipan is one ...
