Handy Hand Cream
By Jan Mayrhofer on
My 14 year old granddaughter gave me a purse sized tube of L'Occitane Hand Cram for Christmas. She chose it for me because it is a limited edition of the Frangipani fragrance. Since she knows that Frangipani is my nickname, she thought I'd enjoy it all the more. And she was right!
It is great to have a good lotion in my purse. This time of year I always need to add moisture to my hands, it seems. The fragrance is very floral, but not at all overpowering.
The lotion is made in France and contains 20 percent shea butter, which must be why it really works to soften my hands.
I know this little 1 oz. tube won't last long since I've noticed that it takes quite a bit for good coverage as my skin seems to absorb it quickly. But it doesn't leave a greasy residue at all which is a definite plus.
I have another kind of body cream by L'occitane and I really like it too. I think they must use high quality products and I've noticed that the fragrance of both is very natural seeming and not at all overwhelming as some can be.
I like that the lotion has the same name as your nickname. I also need a good cream/lotion during the winter months as my skin just seems to dry up so quickly. I like that you mention it doesn't leave a greasy residue, don't need that at all!!
L'Occitane makes wonderful products and they are all higher quality. The soaps are triple milled, so they last longer. Not much air pumped into them. And the lotions mostly have Shea butter, which makes them so creamy and smooth. Haven't tried any L'Occitane products that we don't like.
