My girlfriend works as a nursery teacher and has to wash her hands several times a day. This means that without the use of proper skin care products, she goes all crusty and horrible! One thing that she uses to combat this problem is Neutrogena concentrated hand cream. Being a very manly man, I never thought I would need to use a skin care product. But as a postman, I handle(d) thousands of letters a day, in all sorts of weather and this had taken its toll on my hands. My hands had become dry and what's worse, very itchy from all this rubbing. Being thoroughly recommended by my better half, I thought I'd give this hand cream a try!


The tube I bought was white with a blue band at the top and a blue lid at the other end. Containing 50mls of moisturising cream, the packet I bought also came with a small tube of foot cream and a Chap Stick for lips. Costing £3.25 at my local pharmacist, I guess it's quite reasonably priced compared to other similar products.


Being concentrated, only a small pea sized amount is required on each hand, to produce the best results. Having thoroughly rubbed the cream in, the first thing I noticed was that my hands felt slimy! Very slimy in fact, so be warned, do not use it prior to canoodling with your partner, as you may find them slipping through your fingers!


They continued to feel strange, kind of greasy, for hours after I had used it. But I was amazed at the results. My itchy fingers felt soothed, cooled and no longer itched. My whole hands felt noticeably smoother! Having used this cream for several days I can honestly say "It does exactly what it says on the tin!" (well, on the tube in this case!)


Being so impressed with the hand cream, I thought I'd try the foot cream next. Walking up to ten miles a day, the heels of my feet were starting to look like the backside of a Rhino and I thou
ght, what the heck, it couldn't hurt! Massaging the cream in to my crusty feet was a very pleasant and once again, soothing experience. The results, well I can safely say the Judgee is now crusty feet free! Another warning for you here though. If you have laminated flooring in your house, strap a cushion to your butt before using the foot cream. As it turns your feet in to a pair of ski's and you may find yourself slipping and slidding all over the place!


As for the chap stick, well the Judgee has always had a very smooth and soft kisser! But, in the interests of research I gave it a go. For some reason I do find using chap sticks a bit unnerving. Far too much like putting on lipstick for my liking. Anyway, how can you improve on perfection <cough> So I noticed no difference whatsoever after using that product! Except perhaps, I had a bit more suction power, when smooching!


So overall, a superb product and part of a very good range. If your hands are feeling sore or irritated this will definitely ease the pain. Long term it will make your hands feel soft as a baby's bottom! Reasonably priced for this type of product, I would definitely recommend it and all the other samples I tried in this product range too!


In case any ladies out there were worrying that the Judgee is turning into a pansy, just look at my silky soft hands.... Oooooooooo!
