Review / Sanctuary SPA Covent Garden Hand Cream

Hi everyone!

Today I'll be reviewing an essential skin care product - a hand cream. I use Sanctuary SPA Covent Garden Hand Cream and I think you should know about this ^_^ I won this cream in a giveaway along with other Sanctuary SPA Covent Garden products.

Care for your hands with nourishing sweet almond oil and moisturising shea butter. A whisper-light, non-greasy hand cream with conditioning shea butter and sweet almond oil will help restore moisture to the skin and give immediate comfort to dry hands. Your hands will be left feeling soft and smooth whilst delicately fragranced.

Made in the UK.

My experience

I use a travel sized tube of Sanctuary SPA Covent Garden Hand Cream which packaging is similar to full size (except the size, of course) - it is a white tube with orange flip-cap.

Sanctuary SPA Covent Garden Hand Cream / the packaging

It has a nice texture of a whipped cream with a scent of an expensive perfume. The scent is way too much for my sensitive nose so I don't use this often. The scent tends to linger - I apply this cream before going to sleep and in the morning I can still feel the scent of it.

This cream is absorbed into the skin quickly, but it leaves an oily feeling on the skin for a couple of minutes. And when this oily feeling is gone you enjoy your moisturized, nourished, and silky smooth hands, cuticles and nails ^_^ Another good thing is that it's paraben-free and against animal testing.

Overall I'm satisfied with this hand cream. The only thing I would change is the scent, I would make it more subtle because I believe that SPA experience is not about overpowering scents, it's about relaxation and getting healthy body through cosmetic treatments so in my opinion more subtle scent would better suite this purpose.

What do you think guys?
