REVIEW: Tisserand Intensive Hand and Nail Cream

Due to my frantic DIY efforts, my hands have taken to becoming very dry and scaly. I use CND Almond Spa Hand Lotion at home, but it's a bit toolight right now - my hands are seriously dry! The skin around my fingertips are self-cracking and splitting causing bloodloss and pain :(

So there I was, looking for a nice makeup box, when I ventured into the newly snazzed up beauty department in my local John Lewis department store (more on this later). I picked up this hand cream as I liked the concept; essential oil rich, organic ingredients and no synthetic fragrances or parabens. As you knowI am very much into my natural organic beauty. It was quite pricey - £6.50. 'Better be all it promises and more', I thought.

One application and I was hooked. The natural essential oils are lovely, mostly it smells rosy like geranium. It seems to have the added benefit of making you relax and dream of a warm, sunny flower meadow in the summer... Because it is very rich, it needs a minute or so to sink into your skin, it leaves a nice velvety feel. The moisturising properties are fantastic. Scaly fingertips were thoroughly soothed and some of the cracks in the skin are already healing up after a couple of days. I am very impressed! Apparently it won the 'Pure Beauty' Bronze award in 2008. It certainly gets five of five stars from me!

Review - Tisserand De-Stress Roll-on Remedy

I have been a fan of Tisserand's essential oil products for years for their use of pure essential oils and no synthetic fragrances, parabens, petrochemicals or animal products. Lately I have been requiring some chilling out time, so I got one of their new roll-on aromatherapy oil blends called De-Stress to keep in my handbag. It contains organic patchouli and orange oil and ethically harvested rose oil. The initial scent is a light but still noticeable rose smell. As it develops on your skin, it blends into a deeper, soft scent of patchouli. It is very soothing and the smell keeps fresh for a long time. 5 of 5 stars, buy it to help your body de-stress, or just for the exquisite scent :)
