I've promised myself that as I am now over the 30 mark, (ugh! that happened too quickly! - wasn't I 18 and wearing midriff tops last week??) - that I will really try and start looking after my hands. After all we use them every single day more than any other body part and I don't know about you but mine get daily abuse! Typing frantically on a keyboard for 10 hours a day, texting like a mad woman because I can't be bothered actually speaking like a normal human being and of course immersing my poor hands in hot soapy water with the endless amount of dishes that seem to pile up!
As I am working closely (playing really) with Premium Spa over the next 4 weeks I decided to give their hand cream a crack.
The verdict?
A little bit special actually. This is no normal throw in your bag and forget about it Hand Cream!
I've taken the time to really delve into the ingredients and find out why I can't stop reapplying this little beauty!
1. It smells divine! - With the essential oils of Jojoba, Rosehip & Ginger nicely finished with an Orange top note, my hands actually smell really fresh and not too overpowering.
2. The formulation contains licorice extract which is extremely rich in antioxidants and is believed to help with skin pigmentation and those dark spots that are appearing and are very unwanted.
3. Certified Organic Rosehip oil is packed into this bottle/tube - Rosehip oil is my one beauty must have and I use it every single night on my face before I go to bed, I have noticed such a big improvement with my skins texture and radiance so I can't wait to see the results in a few days with the skin on my hands.
4. I will never use a hand cream that does not contain Shea Butter or Vitamin e so a big tick of approval here
5. IT'S NOT GREASY! There is nothing worse than greasy feeling hands, it's completely uncomfortable so I am extremely pleased that this hand cream absorbs really well into my skin and feels amazing
6. It's actually very affordable - there is a 250mL pump available which is great for the desk or for the kitchen & bathroom and a handy 50mL purse sized tube which is perfect- I've opted for one in the car and one in my handbag. The 250mL pump is $9.95 and the 50\mL tube is only $6.95. Both available at Priceline & Big W. They are in the bath and body section though and they did take a while for me to hunt them down, I think this brand deserves a bit more shelf presence just quietly.
So my overall experience was great and I honestly can not recommend this hand cream highly enough. Especially as these cold Winter months have now kicked in.
I love the fact that Premium Spa is all Australian Made and owned AND contains certified organic ingredients and essential oils. Usually formulations like these cost an arm and a leg but they have made it affordable to us mere Aussie mortals so a BIG thumbs up from me with my nicely moisturised thumbs :)
