...skin. ~~Made by~~ Montagne Jeunesse, www.monagnejeunesse.co.uk. The blurb on the back tells me I should check out the website for more sexy natural skin care products, which I did. I found a lot of face masques and things but nothing remotely sexy. There are some quite interesting products though, so if you are interested in hair and beauty products, it's worth a look, because the products are very reasonably priced; this, for example cost me ...
...used quite a lot of these products before now, and have usually been quite pleased with if not the results (too far gone for that) but the quality of the products and some of the immediate benefits. Unfortunately, this wasn't one I was especially impressed with. As I said, the packet was easy to open, which is obviously an immediate bonus, but once I had the gel squeezed out, I wasn't at all keen on the smell; it was altogether too strange a mix ...

What Dove say... It combines active ingredients at levels that will make skin look and feel better. AHA (4%) to rid of dead skin cells and activate new ones, Glycerine (2%) to add critical hydrating nourishment and help improve cell turnover. Oiive Oil (1%) to provide nutrients to your skin, SPF 5 to help prevent sun damage. WHAT I THOUGHT OF DOVE PRO-AGE I have used this cream for many months. I suffer from very dry hands and my hands are in and ...
...cream about 3-4 times a day and feel the benefits of it's softening and soothing action. It absorbs nicely and doesn't feel greasy afterwards at all, in fact my hands even feel quite airy! Straight away after applying and for a couple of hours later my skin is no longer taunt and feels refreshed. The smell is really clean and it gives me a nice feeling when applied that my hands are being cared for. Over a weeks use and I am sure my hands are looking ... Read review

...on my hands and using No-Germs is a lot easier than breaking a leaf off of my aloe plant. AVAILABILITY I bought my No-Germs from Tesco's when it was half price. It can be found in most supermarkets and certainly in Boots/Superdrug for around £2 to £2.99. I probably wouldn't buy this product at full price simply because I can't afford it, but I certainly would do if I had children or was off to another festival this summer. There are a number of ...
...uses, and undeniably useful. In fact, I'm sitting in bed right now having just eaten a plum and my hands are sticky. Yet I don't want to have to get out of my comfy bed, so I'll just wash my hands with No-Germs and snuggle away! Good night :) ... Read review

Advantages: does all that it should do
Disadvantages: none

...a recommendation from my sister Palmers Cocoa Butter seemed a good option for the moisturiser, so when wandering around Tescos killing time between my morning swim and the need to get to work I picked up a bottle. Checking that I could live with the smell and trying to ignore that little voice in my head that tells me not to waste money on expensive products I bought it. The bottle is an unusual shape, with a rounded main body and a tapering neck ...
...avaliable on their website. Palmers also tell you that the product is not tested on animals which is to be commended and that once opened it should be used within 12 months. I paid around £2.50 for this bottle and I would say that this is pretty good value as I suspect it will last for quite some time, though costs far more than the usual store brands I use. ...

Advantages: Non greasy, Easily absorbed, great price
Disadvantages: I'm not too keen on the smell!

...I've always been a Vaseline fan and have already reviewed the Essential moisture Body Lotion, so choosing the Intensive Care Healthy hand and Nail was easy for me I know . I instantly recognized the dark blue logo which stands out from the pale pink tube. It states on the tube front that it 'softens hands and strengthens nails by 50%'. It also tells you that it contains keratin, milk proteins and vitamin E. The directions advise you to use 2-3 times ...
...now and it's just starting to run out, I only use it once or twice a day. I will definitely buy it again! For any info on the Vaseline products or Unilever who now own them, and for ingredients used in this product reviewed, check out www.unilever.co.uk ... Read review
