Naturally European Ginger & Lime Hand Cream

Naturally European Ginger & Lime Hand Cream

A colleague of mine was recently waxing lyrical about this hand cream as she absolutely loves it so I thought I’d give it a go. The texture is amazing – a little goes a long way and it really does keep the hands amazingly soft.

However, I have to admit that, on me, the ginger & lime scent did smell … a bit … um … cheap and 1950s, which put me off. I suspect it would probably smell a lot nicer on other people – at least I’m hoping it does.

The other negative aspect of this product which I REALLY hated is the terribly annoying metal tube. I means you have to put a great deal of effort in getting the hand cream out and it also means you’re liable to stab yourself with the tube!! Not ideal!! Okay, it never actually caused me to bleed, but it wasn’t nice. Whatever are the people who manufacture the container thinking of?? Heaven knows …

Anyway, the texture is marvellous but, as you can probably tell by now, I’m not a fan and I won’t be repurchasing this. If you’re feeling brave, you can pick up a bottle at Amazon for £10.96 for 75ml – but don’t forget to wear hand armour!
