Two things that I found myself carrying in my purse this
winter were a hand cream and lip balm. I started by using Nivea products (Nivea Fruit Shine lip balm), but I
found quickly that they didn't provide me much moisturization after an hour or
so and I would have to re-apply. I found that quite annoying and so decided to
change and came upon L’Occitane’s Shea Butter range.
Both the hand cream and lip balm contain a very high
percentage of Shea Butter (20% and 10% respectively). Shea Butter is a
moisturizer very rich in fatty acids that makes it perfect for dry to very dry
skin. My lips, being perpetually chapped, needed this high level of
moisturization and of course who doesn't want softer hands for the winter,
right?
The high percentage of Shea Butter in these products makes
them thick and extremely rich. The hand cream is a little bit difficult to
spread and takes a while to be absorbed by the skin. But, it keeps the skin
soft and supple for about 6 to 7 hours after application. The lip balm also
provides resistance while application and you feel the presence of a product on
your lips which can be slightly irritating for some. But again, it moisturizes
the lips thoroughly and leaves them feeling great. Unlike the Nivea lip balm which is perfumed strongly and coloured, this product is white with a light perfume which makes you understand that is is primarily used for
their function which is to nourish your chapped lips.
I recommend these products to those who have dry skin or
those living/travelling to places with extremely cold and dry winters.
