I use this product as a follow
up to using the Solar Manicure
in the same line, which
exfoliates and prepares my
hands and body for extra deep
moisturizing and conditioning
that this product provides. I
use it at night before bed on
hands, elbows, ankles, and
feet, and then apply a lighter
coating to hands again the
next morning. A very rich and
thick product, it leaves your
hands feeling extremely soft
and silky smooth. The vitamin
E and almond oil contained in
the products in this line are
exceptionally good for the
skin and keep it stay healthy,
with shea butter adding
further benefits. I really
like this product as it does
not have a strong odor nor
leave a greasy feel to the
skin, just a very soft satin
like texture. Its therapeutic
effacy when compared to other
balm or butter skin care
products is far superior in my
opinion and those who have
itchiness from very dry skin,
or soreness around the
cuticles, knuckles, knees or
ankles will find dramatic
improvement with regular use.
This is my favorite of hand
creams/butters and for use as
a cuticle butter or balm. I
prefer a thick hand cream and
find that balms and butters
work into my hands and fingers
better without leaving them
slick and oily feeling. This
one I love because it seems to
last longer than most and does
not require repeated
applications for your hands to
stay soft and soothed and
silky to the touch. I also use
it during my manicure as it
softens cuticles and also
makes the knuckles of the
hands feel less dry. It
likewise works well for a
pedicure cream and seems to
make heels less prone to
dryness and flaking so common
during the winter or summer
months. The slight sweet
almond smell is really lovely
and reminds me of old
fashioned creams like my
mother used, but with the
added vitamins found by
research to be so important in
maintaining healthy skin for
todays modern woman.
I love Creative Nail Designs
products and this is no
exception. It is a great hand
cream that absorbs well and
does not leave your hands
feeling greasy or sticky after
using. I use it before going
to bed at night and wake up
with very soft hands
