Happy hands.....The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

Well used (and obviously well loved) Hemp Hand Protector.

I officially have the driest hands EVER this winter. The combination of constant hand washing, (any mama's with small children will be with me on that one) the cold weather outside followed by the warm central heating inside, does my hands no favours at all. They were dry, itchy and cracked. I have tried every hand cream going, and nothing has worked.....until now.....

Step forward, good old Body Shop. I was walking past The Body Shop and saw a stand near the door advertising their range of hand creams and protectors, which also happened to be half price due to a Christmas promotion. I tested them all, and decided to go for The Hemp Hand Protector. This promises to soften and protect your hands, restore moisture and relieve dry skin. It provides a barrier for your hands, rather than just a cream to soften them when they feel a bit dry.

Super thick consistency of the cream.

It contains hemp seed oil, and does have quite a strong scent, that I did find a little strange at first, but now that I'm used to it, I absolutely love that fresh, leafy type smell! The consistency of the hand protector is really thick, but it does sink nicely into the skin pretty quickly and doesn't feel tacky like lots of other hand creams I've tried.

If anyone has a similar problem to me and gets extremely dry hands, I would definitely recommend this, and if the smell is a bit off-putting for some, they also do and Absinthe, Almond, and also Wild Rose, so lots to choose from. They do two sizes in the creams, 30ml or 100ml. I've had the 100ml for a couple of months, and still have just under half of it left. Plus The Body Shop always seem to have loads of special offers on the their skin care products, so definitely worth a look! They also have other products in the Hemp range, such as body butter and hand wash, so obviously I will be giving them a go as well.....only for research purposes!
