I have terrible skin on my hands. It's dry all year round and since moving to Christchurch the cold weather has destroyed my hands. There are flakey dry patches and painful cracks that actually bleed.
Last winter I tried every hand cream I could find but this become my saviour. It's a heavy cream in a black pot (100g) with a pleasant earthy/plant smell.
I lathered it on every night in bed with a generous amount and the next morning would wake up with soft nourished skin. Within a couple of weeks the dry skin had vanished and the cracks were well on their way to healing.
I have continued this routine all through summer and am only just getting to the bottom on the pot now. I will definitely be repurchasing this product and am so glad Lush made a heavy duty hand cream.
I first received a sample of this when I did a Lush order, and a month later after I used up my sample I bought a full sized tub. The sample literally lasted the whole month, and that was with almost daily use.
The hand cream is a gorgeous grey lavender color, and it smells a bit like lavender, and I can also smell chamomile too, which is amazing because I never know my smells. I use a pea sized amount and find that it's enough to cover my hands.
It smoothes out really well and I find the amount I use is enough to do my hands without over greasing them. Too much would be overkill, a waste, and your hands would be slippy. I also find that the amount I use absorbs really well, it leaves my hands soft, moisturized and feeling good.
I'd gladly repurchase this delightful hand cream. It's the only one that makes my hands feel good after they've been washing dishes, and it's going to last so long cos I only need a little bit. It's amazing.
