Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Handwash

As a family of four, we end up washing our hands quite a bit between us. I have to admit I have been a bit of a fanatic aboout teaching my children proper hygiene, so in addition to the usual wash after using the toilet and before handling food routine, it means a handwash everytime you wipe your nose even once, before handing books or cds or dvds, and before I put on any make up or insert my contact lenses, etc. Now, when I was a child, washing one's hands involved using a bar of soap, and I admit for quite some time, this is what we used at home. This worked fine for us for quite a few years, as my children quickly mastered the technique of making sure the bar of ...  Read the complete review

A beautiful smelling hand lotion. I love liquid hand soaps and have recently tried the Japanese Spa range from Imperial Leather. The smell is absolutely gorgeous and this has fast turned into one of my favourite hand soaps. Imperial Leather is a brand of soaps, toiletries and healthcare products manufactured by PZ Cussons. It originates in Britain and dates back to 1768. The Japanese Spa range is part of their Limited Editions range. Also in the range is a shower cream, bath cream and a foam burst shower gel. Firstly the packaging of this soap is really pretty looking. It comes in a plastic bottle with a Japanese flower design and ...  Read the complete review

I seem to have come across this handwash many times recently, in everywhere from friends' houses to the doctors' office, and having enjoyed using it in these places I finally decided to get some for myself! This Imperial Leather Japanese Spa handwash is a limited edition, though there is no information on the packaging as to how long it will be around for. The packaging states that the handwash contains green tea, jasmine and rice milk. It encourages you to use the handwash to 'transform daily hand cleansing into an exquisite ritual'. This seems a bit over the top but the thought of adding a little bit of luxury spa-ness to my everyday life is definitely ...  Read the complete review

You may laugh, but I wanted my new-ish bathroom to be colour co-ordinated when people used it at our party this week! So that is why I spent more than usual on a creamy hand wash instead of the last bottle I had bought which was blue. Imperial Leather My parents used Imperial Leather soap, and I continued to buy it after I was married, admittedly the little pieces of foil paper annoyed me, but otherwise I loved the smell. The story goes that a Russian nobleman commissioned a brand of perfume way back in 1768, then in 1921 the London firm which made the perfume was bought by Cussons and later in the 1930's the original perfume was used in ...  Read the complete review

- Price and Packaging - This was priced at my local Morrisons for £1.49 for a 300ml bottle and since there was a BOGOF offer on, I couldn't resist trying a different range of handwash. I have since seen Imperial Leather Handwashes in Asda for just £1 so not too much of a bargain for me!! The bottle is transparent plastic so that you can see how much is left and when to replenish. It looks fine on the sink, no need to purchase a soap dispenser which I have used when I have opted for much cheaper products to pretend that I haven't! The packaging is simple and understated which is fine by me! The top of the bottle has a ...  Read the complete review
