Korres Pine Compound Cream

Korres blimey my hands are soft!

Advantages: Softens, smoothes, non-oily, lasts ages
Disadvantages: Not strong/rich enough for badly dry or chapped skin

To say that stacking shelves for a living plays havoc with the skin on your hands would be a major understatement. After just a few weeks I found that as well as all the cuts I had on my hands, the skin on my hands was feeling quite dry. A few months later, my hands looked 10 years older! They were so dry and chapped that certain areas, such as the skin between my thumb and forefinger, had actually turned white! Not only that, but the skin was also starting to feel quite uncomfortable and itchy. So I decided to try and make sure I used a hand cream every time I washed my hands, especially at work, in the hope that they'd become soft and smooth again! I've used various hand creams in the past, but never found one that I wanted to stick to, so I went looking online for a new one to try. The cream I decided on was Korres Sweet Almond ...

Review of Korres Sweet Almond Hand & Nail Cream

KorresSweet Almond Hand & Nail Cream with SPF.

Advantages: Unique pakaging, smells nice, perfect size for handbag and leaves hands smooth.
Disadvantages: Quite expensive.

You might not of heard of Korres but they are a company based in Greece. All their products are silicone free, mineral oil free, propylene glycol free and not tested on animals and completely natural. I choose to buy this hand cream because the pakaging looked nice and I had heard good comments about it from my friends. What I liked about this product is that the lid is quite cool. You can still keep the lid on but when you squeeze the tube the cream comes out of a small hole at the bottom. So you don't have to worry about getting cream all over the tube. It's unique and I have never seen anything like it before. It's non oily, leaves the hands feeling soft and look noticeably nourished. It contains Sal tree butter and olive wax, which both help to retain moisture. The cream has also fed my cuticles and the sides of my nails ...

Review of Korres Sweet Almond Hand & Nail Cream

A Korres Miracle for Stressed Out Skin

Advantages: Price, value, effectiveness
Disadvantages: Packaging could be a little better thought out

The Product Korres Milk Soap for stressed skin is available to buy from their stores, UK ones being in London and Edinburgh, or from various online beauty retailers. I bought mine on Amazon marketplace at a price of £4 for 2 40g soaps. Why I Bought It I?ve always had quite sensitive skin, but recently, due to a combination of changing weather conditions, illness and a poor diet resulting from this, it?s become even more sensitive than usual. My usual skincare products have begun to irritate my skin, bringing me out in awful rashes or leaving me with a bright red face. Similarly, the slightest bit of cold wind would leave my skin looking red raw. So I decided to take my skincare routine back to basics and look for something fairly natural that wouldn?t irritate, and would hopefully calm my skin down a bit ...
