Come on Burt and Res-Q me!
Review of Burt's Bees Res-Q Ointment by
pink_champagne
Advantages: mostly natural, soothes minor injuries quickly
Disadvantages: not very effective on older injuries like bruises
...a travel sized pot of Burt's Bees Res-Q ointment in their outdoor remedy kit a couple of months back, it is probably not a product I would ever have chosen to buy individually. I think one of the main downsides of the product is working out what you are supposed to use it for! The back of the tin tells me to 'For all of life's discomforts, naturally soothe skin...' from that I still wasn't quite sure about what I was supposed to do with it, so I ... ...was raw. I noticed the Burt's Bees Res-Q ointment on my bedside table, and decided to give it a try.
I rubbed my finger in the green balm, and rubbed it over the red line that had appeared on my stomach. It glides easily onto the skin, but needs a little bit of rubbing in, otherwise it will leave a green mark. It felt instantly cool on my skin, and to my surprise within less than a minute, the irritating discomfort had completely disappeared. Around ...

Hand gel - Carex
Review of Cussons Carex Moisturising Hand Lotion Dermacleans by
020805
Advantages: Lovely smell and moisturising
Disadvantages: Can be quite expensive for a small spray bottle
Hand gel was a huge hype in school. There was a popular girl in my year and she owned a big bottle of hand gel and she always kept it with her everywhere. When the popular girl's followers spotted her using the hand gel and rubbing it in her hand, they were desperate to have some of her hand gel, seeing that her hand were lovely and soft.
Pretty soon, everyone were buying bottles of hand gel and kept using them during Religious Studies lessons. ... ...I thought a bottle of hand gel was pretty handy when I wanted to clean my hand when there's no sink and soap available.
I always seem to get my hands dirty, from eating sticky sweets and chocolates and going on school trips that involves mud and eating on the grass. So I thought that I would purchase some. When I went food-shopping with my mam in our local ASDA, I was in the cosmetics aisle when I spotted a small hand gel spray called 'Carex Antibacterial ...

Body Shop Neroli Jasmin Body Lotion
Review of The Body Shop Neroli Jasmin Body Lotion by
kernow21
Advantages: Fragrances the skin well.
Disadvantages: Dryer skins may need more moisurisation than this.
...like about this lotion is the fact that it really does scent your skin - some body lotions smell nice in the bottle but once on your skin the fragrance isn't very strong. This one however fragrances the skin almost as much as a perfume. Use with other Neroli Jasmin products for a good effect.
What I also like is the fact that it is easy to apply - body butters as opposed to lotions have been popular lately but I find the thicker consistencies of ... ...in your hands a bit to 'loosen it up', otherwise it doesn't spread over your skin as well. But this lotion has a really good coverage, meaning that you don't need to use too much. It also quite quickly absorbed so you can get dressed as soon as you have applied it if you don't use too much. It left my skin quite soft although not as soft as some cocoa or olive butters. I found I had to apply it a little more frequently to achieve super smooth results. ...
