I have it on my "things to get list" I do home health and there is nothing worse than washing your hands to the point where they are cracking and almost bleeding ugh.....semi retired now but am still gonna give it a try. Thanks!
I used to work at Starbucks and had to wash my hands constantly. When I found this lotion, it was the answer to my problems. However, I hate the way it smells because I hate baby powder. Most people like the smell, but I really don't like it. I found that the cherry blossom scent is sooo pretty but still light. It doesn't have quite as much shea butter, but it still moisturizes well and smells great!
Does the hand cream have a greasy consistency to it at all? I work with young children and have to wash my hands a lot as well. It would be great to find a good hand lotion, because I find my hands get really dry.
I wash my hands constantly ... I love love love this product ! I have one that I keep in the office and one I use at home. It's also perfect because it isn't heavily scented
Thanks for the recommendation! I'm a Med Tech and I'm constantly washing my hands from handling specimens all day long and they dry out pretty badly. BTW, have you tried Lay It On Thick from Bath & Body Works? That's pretty good too and I was wondering if this could be compared to that or if it's better.
The staying power totally surprised me too! However, i did notice that you have to reapply often especially around your cuticles and knuckles. If you want a cheaper alternative, you might want to try out Curel Hand and cuticle cream.
I love this hand cream! I am an x-ray tech so I am also constantly washing my hands. This stuff works great. I always have a little tube in my pocket at work.
After trying many of their products, I can wholeheartedly say that L'Occitane is a darn good brand. Their lavender foot cream smells great and moisturizes without being greasy. As Sephorajunkie surely knows, if you watch the Sephora gifts area, you can usually find a nice L'Occitane starter kit at a decent price. Good stuff! Love you vids, Laura!
It is my all time favourite too and I use it nearly everynight at bedtime. Keep an eye on QVC US for L'occitane TSV's (todays special values) QVC UK is where my l'occitane addiction started and I have a house full of soap etc. You would also love the shea body lotion it is amazing, what am I saying all their stuff is amazing and they usually do amazing TSVs, let me know if you get anything else :0)
3am! my god! ok so you're forgiven! lol. btw thanks for the review on the MAC powders, could you do a review on the MAC moisturising range if possible? thanks. :)
Oh, I do so agree! I have cold allergy and also become very sore and dry, and this is the first lotion/cream I have tried that leaves my skin smooth and comfortable. No feeling of oiliness or anything like that. Try it, folks, it's really good :-)
This stuff is amazing! I use it during the winter when my hands get cracked and red, and it heals and protects my hands like no other!!!! It absorbs rather quickly too, kind of surprising for such a thick lotion. Love it!
i was just at sephora yesterday and i didnt get this one thinking it was expensive. oh well, have to go back and get it. nurses have to save their patients AND their hands! hihihi!
This is one of the best lotion/butter hand cream that i know of. I too work in the health care industry. I have people hooked on it. People would tell me "$25.00 for hand cream your crazy" but now they themselves have purchased one
I Looooove this lotion! It's more like a thick cream. I have the driest hands ever and they crack in the winter (I"m not even a nurse) and love this. It has a slight smell of babypowder but it is subtle. I love this. I use this tube in about two months. If you have dry hands then get it. I used to use Burts bee's hand salve but that was too greasy .
I'm gonna get this one for next winter. I'm currently using the Hemp Hand Cream from The Body Shop and I really like that one too (in spite of it's smell :P). But I think this one will be perfect for winter.
Great review! I am a nurse as well and I totally understand about the hand washing! BTW I have been meaning to ask you what type of Nursing do you do, Med-Surg, OB or? Just curious.
i LOVE the fact that although it is very thick, it really and completely absorbs into ur skin and is non-greasy what-so-ever. I've used alotta other hand creams that are very greasy but this one works wonders and is non-greasy.... LOVE IT!
Great review!! This is my hands down favorite lotion. I don't think I'll ever stop using it. They always have this lotion for guests staying at the Four Seasons Resorts, thats how I got turned on to it.
the 25 dollars seems like a good investment if it last 6mths or longer, i always see this brand on HSN but have never tried it, but seems worthwhile, thx ;)
