Advantages: Really improves and moisturises the skin Disadvantages: A bit expensive
...after I had purchased other Aveda products (anyone who has read any of my reviews knows I am quite an Aveda afficionado) and to be honest for years I just used to bin said samples because I used another handcream. Suffering from eczema makes choosing a handcream difficult and having found one that I liked and got on with I wasn't about to change brands suddenly. Then one day the inevitable happened - I ran out of my usual brand when I was quite poorly ... ...I had recently bought some Aveda haircare I wondered if they had slipped a sample in and lo and behold I had two of them.
My hands were incredibly dry and I could see the red itchy blotches ready to break out so I liberally applied a good 10p size blob of this cream to my palm and distributed it evenly between the palm and back of my hands. What I noticed immediately apart from the heady herbal aroma (I will talk about that in a moment) was the ...

Advantages: It does a great job of moisturising your hands, a little goes a long way Disadvantages: Bit pricey!!
...her half full tubes of Aveda Hand relief cream insisting that it was fantastic and I should try it. The product: It promise to soothe dry, chapped hands leaving them noticeably softer and smoother. It contains hydrating plant emollients, humectants, exfoliating fruit acids and anti-oxidants (that's vitamins A and E to me and you). Finally, with prolonged use, it is said to help diminish signs of ageing and increase elasticity in skin. What I think ... ...an 125ml tube (prices from Aveda online). Summary: There are some people who just wouldn't or couldn't pay that amount even if it delivered miracles. I haven't decided whether I would buy this for myself but may pop it on a birthday wishlist. It is a good product but I reckon I could always find something else to spend £16 on. Summary: Excellent product but too costly for me - strictly pressies only!! ...

Advantages: Delicious smell, thick and does what lotion should do Disadvantages: A little greasy, no noticable long-term benefits
...skin. I need relief.
Aveda offers this particular lotion called Hand Relief, and I assumed it would be the perfect match for me. After all, Aveda has a fine reputation for producing wonderfully effective products, which are also know to have heavenly scents that cater to the feminine need to smell beautiful.
This particular hand lotion has a fantastic citrus smell that I have loved since my first application. It is also a very thick, rich, creamy ... ...difference - that instantly makes my hands feel quenched and silky smooth. It does feel a little greasy at first, and the greasy feeling does diminish after a while, but it never does fully go away which makes opening doorknobs a bit challenging at times. Even so, this product was my lotion of choice for well over a year and a day.
But then I discovered Shea Butter. Pre de Provence 20% Shea Butter Dry Skin Hand Cream, to be exact. Now THAT is a ...

Advantages: Gorgeous citrus smell, all natural ingredients Disadvantages: needs a bit of ruibbing in
...with the nicest smell. Being Aveda there are no mineral oils or artificial fragrances - the absolutely gorgeous fresh citrus scent is all natural. This is a very rich cream which sinks in reasonably well and is also excellent for dealing with dry cuticles. In fact, I haven't had a hangnail since I've been using this regularly. I also use it on very rough patches of skin like elbows - it's very effective there too ...
