Every Fall and Winter, I struggle with chapped, irritated hands that sometimes even crack and bleed. I’m not sure if it’s the cold, the dryness of the indoor heated air, the soap we have at work, or some wicked combination of all of the above. Either way, it’s very painful and definitely not visually pleasing.
I’ve had great experiences with Benton products so far (reviews here), so I was very excited to get my hands on (see what I did there?) Benton Shea Butter and Coconut Hand Cream. It's available on* eBay, Amazon, and YesStyle (use reward code KBHOBBIT for an extra discount).
The cream is 20% shea butter and 3% coconut oil, made without artificial fragrances or colors. The texture is thick and rich, but not greasy or sticky. There’s a slight natural scent that’s hard to detect.
Main ingredients:
Shea butter
Coconut oil
Sunflower seed oil
Adenosine -a yeast derived anti-aging, soothing and restoring agent suitable for all skin types. Adenosine is capable of increasing the levels of collagen and elastin, making the skin appear smoother and younger.
How to use:
Apply any time to clean, dry hands
If you are like me and do an occasional full “hand” routine with peeling gel, essence and serum, then the cream would go last
My impressions:
This is a fantastic product, especially for those with dry, sensitive skin and during the Fall and Winter months. Since the cream is unscented, it will work well for anyone sensitive to smells and regardless of gender. I love the luxurious texture and how soft and nourished my hands feel afterwards. As I mentioned earlier, there's no stickiness or greasiness. Check it out if your hands needs some love.
