I'm a sucker for anything honey when it comes to beauty products, especially when it comes to NZ's Manuka honey. The healing benefits of this liquid gold is legendary, so to team it up in a handcream is masterful.
The tube is easy to squeeze and very user-friendly, but IMO, verging just a little on the unattractive side. I think it is the bright yellow colouring - there is so much of it. It takes away from the gorgeous shot of the honey. So, this tube is one that would live in my cupboard rather than be out 'on show' if I was worried about appearances.
The lotion itself is really lovely. It is quite thin for a handcream, but I loved that. It meant that it soaked into my skin quickly, and it didn't leave any kind of greasy feel afterwards. The initial scent when it is first applied is odd, but it soon develops into a gorgeous soft, honey and sweet almond scent that is really pleasant. Nice to drift off to sleep with.
I work with my hands, and am constantly washing them, so I wasn't able to apply during the working day, but I'd apply as soon as I got home and before bed. I'd wake with noticeably softer skin. I will definitely buy this when I run out.
Great product, made my hands soft and moisturised, smooths out the look of my hands, even had the girls at work using it too, would definitely recommend.
Tips: A little goes a long way.
