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 ...

Review of Clarins Hand and Nail Treatment Cream

Buzz off it's my hand crème!

Advantages: Provides softer smoother skin for even the driest of hands.
Disadvantages: Some people may find the scents to be strong to begin with.

...I have not long discovered Burt's bees, I had noticed the range of Burt's bees baby range in boots but I haven't seen any of the other product ranges whilst out shopping. When I was browsing through Amazon I stumbled upon the Burt's bees products that were available and I thought the hand repair kit would be good as it had a selection of goodies for me to try. I had always thought that Burts bees was expensive which is why I haven't really looked ...
...a clear drawstring bag with Burt's bees in black writing which is good to keep everything together. It all looks nice in the bag and it is presented very nicely. As soon as I opened the bag I was met which some lovely scents that were quite strong. In the bag there is a pair of cotton gloves that are in a card envelope, which I already use and have already reviewed the gloves that I use, so these were just perfect for me. They are not much different ...

Review of Burt's Bees Hand Repair Kit

Don't take it for face value...

Advantages: Leaves your hands lovely and smooth, thick and luxurious
Disadvantages: Packaging

I wasn't too sure about this handcream when I first tried it. It seems to be a lot thicker than most ordinary handcreams, and so it is harder to spread around you hands and takes longer to sink in. But after the first use, you'll never go back. You start to love the feel of it on your skin. I don't use any other handcream now- no other ones do the same for me, they just don't feel as luxurious as this. I would definately recommend people to try ...

Review of L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream

The solution for damaged hands

Advantages: Brilliant
Disadvantages: None

Burt’s Bees Hand Salve: Another one of my little Burt’s Bees product this hand salve is one my favourites. It comes in a cute 0.30oz tin as it’s a trial size; the full size tin is 0.60oz. The tin is silver in colour and has a yellow label featuring Burt himself. The tin is easy enough to open, it is so easy in fact that I was worried it would come open in my bag but this has never happened in several months of use. The smell is so lovely. It has ...
...it smells so great; it contains almond oil, olive oil, beeswax, Vitamin E, comfrey root extract, rosemary, lavender and eucalyptus! I have the tin in front of me and I just can’t stop sniffing it. The texture is waxy but soft enough to be able to apply easily. As soon as it meets the warmth of your skin it melts allowing it to soak into the skin reasonably quickly. Having said that it does make your hands feel a little greasy for about 10 minutes ...

Review of Burt's Bees Hand Salve

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 ...
