My Experience with The Body Shop Almond Milk and Honey Calming and Protecting Hand Cream:

The Body Shop Hand Cream comes in a very cute, small, silver and white colored plastic tube with a white screwed cap. It’s a 30ml tube which is easy to carry in my handbag. Also, the dispenser provides the right amount of the product at once. This cream contains Almond Milk and Honey and due to that, it smells like a rich almond cream and it’s a delicious fragrance. It’s mild and would suit even sensitive noses. I always prefer such subtle fragrances and it lasst for around an hour easily. After that, fragrance starts to fade gradually.

The hand cream has a medium, soft, creamy texture and it is pure white in color. The cream blends smoothly on the hands and gets absorbed quickly, within a few minutes. It does not feel slippery or greasy on my palms. There is no stickiness, so I can work normally after applying this cream. It feels very fresh and smooth and it instantly heals the rough texture of my skin. I love the fact that it’s a lightweight and non-oily cream, perfect to use at day time. They have mentioned that it’s good for sensitive skin too.

It is not a thick cream but it provides good nourishment to my dry hands and makes them softer, smoother and healthier. There is no flaking either, so I really love the way this cream keeps my hand hydrated. I do not think many people like super thick and rich hand creams, hence this one will be liked by everyone.

The hand cream never makes my palms sweaty. The formula has the perfect amount of moisture for all skin types. It heals the roughness and calm down the skin too. This formula works perfectly during summer but winter will need reapplications. During winters, I would rather prefer a rich hydrating cream during night, but for day time, it’s really a nice one.
Its effects stay for around 4 hours with normal work. My hands do not turn dry during this time period. Also, this softness does not go away if I wash my hands with water, but I need to reapply this cream if I wash my hands with soap. Hence I do not mind to reapply it.

Overall, I really like this cute hand cream. It smells good and gives a very pleasant feeling. Also, it works well to keep my hands soft and well moisturised with a light weight non oily finish. Only, it’s bit pricey for some as a small hand cream.
