Hand and Nails - Not Up to Scratch!

Advantages: Great smell ,easily aborbed
Disadvantages: Costly and not really rich enough to be effective.

...generally a big fan of Clarins and took the opportunity to take a free sample when I purchased some other products. I kept it in my handbag and used it whenever I was out and about, I have to say it absorbs easily and smells great. On the negative side its rather expensive and doesn't seem to spread very far, which means that unlike many of their other products it doesn't represent very good value for money. So on the whole you could buy a supermarket ...

Elizabeth Arden Hand Cream To The Rescue.

Advantages: Effective handcream,heals dry hands. I like the smell of it.
Disadvantages: Price - exspensive. You may not like its smell.

...give me a tube of Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Hand Treatment to try . The moisturising handcream I was using at that time was having little effect. As I applied the Elizabeth Arden cream I noticed that it has a pleasant clean smell rather than a perfumed fragrance. I was in some doubt that it would be any better than previous products I had tried. Before I started to apply it my hands were stinging and had tiny open cracks on the knuckles. ...
...on it did not smart as other creams do. The cream was not as greasy as some handcreams or ointments and did not leave a residue on the surface of my skin, sinking in almost instantly. The smell that lingered from the cream was slightly medicinal but pleasant and fresh. Then apart from applying it a couple more times that day and at night I forgot all about it. 24 hours later I was surprised to notice that my hands healed up and were no longer so ...

Baby Nappy Rash Cream in French Disguise!

Advantages: Provided immediate relief from dry hands and absorbs fairly quickly.
Disadvantages: Smells exactly like baby nappy rash cream. A rip off price for such average quality cream.

What is it? *********** A premium hand cream by the French company L'Occitane. Special Features? ******************* A specially formulated premium hand cream containing 20% of Shea Butter, Linseed extract, Honey extract, Sweet Almond, Coconut Oil, Rapeseed extract, Rosemary extract and Sunflower Seed Oil. Especially formulated to nourish, protect and soften dry hands. What do I think? ***************** Despite it's swanky brand name and claims ...
...provided immediate relief from dry hands which is to be expected. It has quite a thick consistency but does absorb quite quickly into the skin. However, it does leave a slight residue but I don't find that it causes any problems. It appears quite a thick concentrated cream, but I find that that I do still need to squeeze a substantial amount onto my hand for sufficient coverage so it's not very economical. Each time I wash my hands, I tend to need ...

Review of L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

Clairins Age Control Hand Lotion....Does What it Says in the Tin!

Advantages: Prevents Age Spots, Evens Skin Tone & Softens Hands
Disadvantages: Greasy

Clarins Age Control Hand Lotion claims to prevent age spots, even skin tone and soften the hands, I can confirm that this is a product that delivers on its promises. The lotion is light and although it appears to absorb quickly it still leaves your skin feeling a little bit greasy (well at lerast it does on me). Age Control Hand Cream is quite light in texture and as a pleasant 'fresh' smell to it, as you would expect from the Clairins range. It ...
...day, but I must admit I only used it 2 maybe 3 times maximum and that seems to be enough to get the job done for me. You will notice your hands starting to feel a lot softer within the first couple of weeks. A positive plus in todays climate is that that lotion comes with a built in SPF 15 (which must help with the age spots!) Cost £16.50 from debenhams for a 75ml tube Contains * UVA/UVB filters (SPF 15): help prevent pigmentation marks caused ...

Burt's Bees Amazing Hand Salve

Advantages: Lovely smell, Super nourishing, cute tin, fab company
Disadvantages: zero!

Burt's Bees hand 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 ...
...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 reasonable for a multi-purpose product that you will wander how you ever lived without it! ...
