The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

Advantages: Moisturises really well, lasts for ages.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

...fed up I went into The Body Shop in Harrogate, held them out to the assistant and said, "Please have you got something to sort these out?!" She took one look and said, "Oh my God" or similar, then took me over to the Hemp stand and recommended this product with no hesitation. I read the blurb which described it as "heavy duty for hardworking hands" and recommended it for gardeners and other people whose hands took a lot of stick. So despite the hefty ...
...on at bedtime and had the really strange experience of feeling my skin drinking it! Yes, it just felt like that. I slathered a load of the cream on and half an hour later my skin felt less dry but like it needed a top-up. I even woke up a couple of times during the night and put on some more. The next night I just put it on a bedtime and didn't need the top-ups. After that I carried on using it for a week or so and it totally healed my hands, the ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent results, subtle slightly masculine scent, hygienic packaging, lasts ages.
Disadvantages: The price is a bit steep but it is worth it!

...really into beauty products and the whole regime thing, to be honest I don't have the time, inclination or sticking power when it comes to doing something once or twice a day like that. Her indoors always goes on at me and says how much easier my life would be if I tried having a regular regime I stuck to when it comes to looking after my skin. Before I met her I used soap on my face and shower gel on my body, that was it when it came to cleansing, ...
...why. They are worse in the winter but it sometimes happens in the summer too. We have tried to figure out what it is, it must be an allergy to something I come into contact with but there seems to be no real pattern to it. I was just using Atrixo on my hands when they were really bad but it wasn't really doing much good and when they were really bad using it would sting like mad. Then a few weeks ago her indoors gave me something that she thought ... Read review

Advantages: A really effective cream for dry hands.
Disadvantages: Takes time to be absorbed

Hemp? In the Body Shop? I had always looked with some suspicion on their shelves of hemp-based products. I don't know why, I kind of felt a bit uneasy about them. As though people might look at me, looking at the shelves, and think "Hmmm. we know what she gets up to." However, my opinions have been totally changed since I was out with a friend and she gave me a dab of her Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector. She told me she had found it excellent for ...
...squeezed some into my palm the first thing I noticed was the greyish colour. It didn't look like any conventional handcream. More like something you'd use to clean your grouting. Next I noticed the smell. It's slightly reminiscent of patchouli, I think, and very pleasant in an earthy sort of way. I really do prefer more natural smells like this to artificial ones. Once I'd rubbed in the cream, my hands felt lovely and soft for the rest of the day ... Read review

Advantages: The best thing for very dry skin I have found, natural product, wonderful smell
Disadvantages: No mind-altering reaction!

...maligned plant, you know. The very mention of the word brings to mind images of people getting stoned on cannabis, of hippies and drug use. But seriously, hemp is actually a mere cousin of the psychedelic drug, and the levels of THC (the psychoactive bit) are so low in industrial grade hemp as to be almost non-existent. Honestly! I mean, would I really be reviewing mind altering hand cream on a family site such as this? ;-) The hand cream I am on ...
...original Source came along. The Body Shop has been around for some 26 years now (making it older than me!), and still upholds its policies of never testing anything on animals, of supporting community trade with the Third World, of defending human rights and protecting the environment – they are one of the few companies to stand out in this arena among the ethically challenged companies that crowd our high streets. And it was these policies that ... Read review

Advantages: Works really well, lasts a long time, masculine
Disadvantages: Masculine, strange smell/look, quite pricey.

...really necessary- and combined with the chilly weather my poor hands had taken quite a battering, feeling quite red, raw and rough. As a long-time Body Shop fan I took myself off to their store to find a suitable cream to bring me some relief. The Hemp Hand Protector in its smart shiny metallic tube and green and black packaging caught my eye- I suppose it doesn't look quite as feminine as most hand creams so it appealed to the stupid male ego in ...
...get? I felt butcher by the minute and started looking for "testosterone" on the ingredients list! Real men use Body Shop hand creams! Anyway, I was a bit put out at the £6.50 price tag for a 100ml tube, which seemed a bit steep. But Body Shop do helpfully provide a tester so I decided to put some on first to see how it felt. I liked it and was so keen for some relief I took it to the till. The cream contains hemp seed oil, glycerine, allatonin ... Read review
