I don't know why, but recently my hands have been so dry! They're not noticeably dry but they just feel so horrible. Seeing as my university course is so hands on I decided that I really should start to look after them a little bit more! I've mentioned before the reason I struggle to keep up a moisturising routine is because my biggest peeve is waiting around for cream to aborb into my skin. Yet again Soap & Glory have created a formula which sinks in fast + leaves skin feeling silky smooth without being greasy, yay!
This is one of Soap & Glory's cult super products which everyone seems to love, and with good reason! As well as having cute packaging, it actually works. It does have a fairly strong, sweet Soap-&-Glory-scent to it which may not be the best if you have sensitive skin but I have no trouble with my hands + like the smell so that doesn't bother me. This larger tube lives on my bedside table + I usually apply before bed, after doing my nails or whenever my hands need a pick me up! I'm going to treat myself to the travel sized tube (along with the hand maid anti-bac' gel) this weekend to keep in my handbag as although it does a great job of hydrating my skin it sadly doesn't last all day. However for a fiver, it really is a great hand cream!
I'm so fickle when it comes to keeping up a body moisturising routine; although I love the feel of hydrated skin, my pet peeve is having to hang around all sticky waiting for a thick body lotion to sink in, uchh! I received this for Christmas as part of the 'Best of All' gift set + so far it's my favourite product of the lot. Since it's packed with skin softening ingredients including cocoa butter, shea butter + coconut oil, it leaves skin feeling amazingly, silky smooth! The scent is absolutely delicious; I love anything sweet, so the almond, oat + brown sugar smell is perfect for me. The fragrance really lasts all day too which is another added bonus!
Beside the scent, the best thing about this product is that it truly does work! I have really dry skin + sometimes break out in dry, eczema-like patches on the joints of my arms + around my eyes. Smoothie Star is really gentle which is great for skin that can be a little bit sensitive as it doesn't cause a reaction in my skin whatsoever. My skin hasn't been this healthy in a long time which is a wonder, especially in these cold winter months.
My personal favourite feature of this product has to be how it sinks into my skin rather than sit on top of it. This means it's perfect if you're; in a hurry, to use before a night out or if you're impatient like me + don't like to hang around! £10 is a pretty good price in my eyes as it's a pretty sizable bottle. The pump top also allows easy application + lets you dispense the amount you need which means you never really waste any. I will certainly re-purchase this when I've used it all up, love it!
