Burt's Bees Banana and Beeswax Hand Cream


The Burt's Bees Banana and Beeswax hand cream is a thick, rich, all natural hand cream that nourishes chapped or dry skin. Made with Aloe Vera, Beeswax and Sweet Almond Oil skin is intensely moisturised and protected from the elements.
Packaged in an adorable, screw top jar this isn't a product to be chucked in your handbag but to adorn your bedside table for late night application. By far thicker than most other hand creams I've previously tried, this needs to be scooped out of its jar and then massaged well in to the skin but remember, a small amount goes a long way.
I do tend to find that instantly after application my hands feel quite greasy and tacky as it almost turns in to an oil but a good ten - twenty minutes to sink in is all that's needed. You could even add a pair of overnight cotton gloves in to the mix for ultra soft hands.
The scent, although noticeable isn't over powering and does fade relatively quickly - I personally love the banana fragrance. At £9.99 for a considerably small jar, you might find this expensive but it lasts and offers an intensive treatment for hands making this ideal for Winter months!
