Joy Honey and Almonds Nourishing Cream Review

Hi Everyone :pompom:

Today, I am going to review JOY Honey and Almonds Nourishing Cream, my mother picked it up randomly. My mother has a habit of picking up things and not using them and this cream was no exception. It was the first time I heard of this brand. Nevertheless, seeing it lying all unused, I started using it. It has been two weeks already and I have formed an opinion about this cream. Please read on to find out how it fares on my expectations.

Joy Honey and Almonds Nourishing Cream.

Joy Honey Almonds Nourishing Cream

Price/ Packaging/ Quantity:

INR 35 for 50 ml. It comes in a bright orange coloured tub packaging with a sticker on top which has almonds on it. I am not very impressed with the packaging as it seems flimsy to me.

What’s Written on the Tub?

Contains generous doses of Almond Oil and Honey along with Vitamin E & Sunscreen to nourish your complexion and protect your skin from winter dryness and wrinkles.

Directions:
Apply daily all over the face and body.

Key Ingredients:
Wheat Germ Oil, Almond Oil and Honey.

My Take on Joy Honey and Almonds Nourishing Cream:

The first impression after seeing this cream was annoyance because I already have so many body lotions and creams to finish and I knew my mom would not be using it, so it would just go waste. I read the ingredients on it and instantly my annoyance was gone because it claimed to contain almond oil, honey and vitamin E , hich are excellent for skin. So, I opened up the cap and took a generous amount on my hands. It’s a white coloured cream with the right consistency which a cream should have. Although, I liked the fragrance, but the cream as such was too greasy. I rubbed it on my hands and it just refused to get absorbed, my hands felt greasy for an hour or so after which I had to finally wash it off. I didn’t have the courage to apply it on my face as it was too greasy and as such I have oily skin, so it would have made the matter worse.

It’s still lying unused in my cupboard, once in a while, I do apply it during night and wake up with softer hands. I guess this cream needs it’s time to work on the skin, but during the day, I can’t conjure the strength to make my hands or body greasy, so I skip it during the day time.

Pros of Joy Honey and Almonds Nourishing Cream:

Ya even my colleagues are talking about the same, wow…..i love mehandi on the hands but sad part ye hai ki maine aaj tak mehandi nahi lagayi haath pe, hamare ghar mei aadi hai, even wen the gals get married in our family we dont put mehandi, strange but true…… 🙁 post the piccy of ur hands decorated with mehandi…wud love to see. In this fast u dnt eat anything throughout the day na? not even at nite, rite?

          1. yeah i do both karwachauth and teej. On sanjeev’s side they do teej. 😀 😀

            shivani forget eating, you cant even sleep. main toh kal office chali jaaongi. ghar mein toh i’d end up sleeping only 😐 😐 😐

  1. hello Shivani, :handshake: creams which claims to have honey, almonds, shea butter, etc… can only be used in winter and that to start with less quantity which u normally use as they are super oily and tend to work better with less quantity…hope u will be able to use it in winters :chewnails :chewnails :chewnails :chewnails :toothygrin: :toothygrin:

    1. hey prachi, hi :handshake: dint know this abhi to its lying unused, may be i will give it a try in chilly winters then. Thanks for updating my knowledge

      1. no need for thanks… :toothygrin: 😀 I’ve learned so much from IMBB that if i know anything new i am happy to tell everyone….(its a cancerian trait :shying: :shying: :secret2: :secret2: )

  2. Happy Teej in advance girls. Even I have Vatasavitri vRat on 31st. Here toh no dhamal so will fast with fruits and might go to the temple.

    shivani — one day my kids are also gonna say that mummy brings things and doesn’t even use. Lolz

    1. hehehe…..yaar sachi mei Bee,she brings all kinds of odd stuff, at the max wud use it thrice and then it wud be lying unnoticed in some corner of the house but i fail to understand y does she bring it in the first place? :methinks: :stars: n happy teej in advance to u too :yahoo: :yahoo:

    And Happy Teeja everyone,fast nicely..I will mail you photos of all the yummy food :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

  5. I tried this cream recently & i agree with u. It is greasy. I took very little amt & after applying, I massaged it for a while, so d greasiness went off & left a little shine to my skin, which I liked.

    But over a wk I didnt feel any betterment in my skin . In fact, as long as I applied it, I felt my skin looking a shade darker, as with all cold creams. Also, in a wk, it gave me small bumps & little acnes.

    Though it feels very smooth on application & makes skin soft, but now I m only using it as a hand cream. 🙂
