I always try to keep on top of the house work, but once a while it's good to give the house a thorough clean, I'm not meaning just a hoover and dust everywhere, but a thorough one that includes pulling out the furniture, doing the skirting boards, washing the windows, cleaning the oven/fridge/kitchen floor, all the bathroom etc. As it's been a nice morning the windows have been open and when I finished I felt that the house smelt clean and fresh. I felt tired, but nothing a coffee, lunch and some chocolate wouldn't fix there, after all I deserved it. But I had one problem!! My hands were so dry from the constant in/out of water and hard work that ...  Read the complete review

Although I'm a bit of a cosmetics and beauty junkie, I tend to neglect my hands. As a busy mum of two toddlers if I'm not washing my hands I'm probably cleaning so as a result the skin on my hands tends to get quite dry. Once winter started setting in I couldn't ignore the problem anymore especially as my hands were getting quite sore therefore I decided to give my hands some TLC and look for some hand cream. I ended up purchasing Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream to help come to my rescue. *** Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream*** Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream is described on the packaging "Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream is a rich yet quickly absorbed cream ...  Read the complete review

My sister got me a 'heavnly hands' gift set for my birthday this year which contained this cream, a nail file, a cuticle pusher (not sure what the actual name is but you push your cuticles down with it) and some cotton gloves. Having searched online I have found that the cream alone costs around £2.50 for a 100ml tube. I have problems with my hands getting rashes and eczema which cause dry patches and blisters sometimes so I was a little worried about using the cream to start with. The tube is a light blue and white colour with a Nivea hand logo on it. The tube says that the cream 'Softens and nourishes dry hands and cuticles' also that it ...  Read the complete review

As you probably already know If you've read my other Nivea product reviews, I am a big fan of Nivea and this is now my favourite hand lotion. ~Packaging and Appearance~ Nivea Hand Nourishing Cream comes in a blue-lilac squeezy bottle with a navy top. Both of these are pearlescent becuase if you look really closely you can see tiny flecks of glitter. Anyway, Nivea claims that this lotion will 'Soften and nourish dry hands and cuticles' and that it has a long-lasting effect. ~Contents and Product~ To get to the lotion you simply flip open the lid and squeeze the container. The lotion comes out in a worm shape which I was quite surprised at ...  Read the complete review

I tried this hand cream after using another one by Vaseline which didn't work that well. I have used this Nivea one before and I could remember it being good but didn't remember how good it actually was. This is a nourishing hand cream that is meant to soften and nourish dry hands and cuticles with a long-lasting effect. The bottle says that it contains vitamins and minerals which enhance the skin's natural moisture production, nourishes hands and soothes and replenishes dry skin. All of this is true as it seems to be doing everything that it claims it will do. It soaks into my hands quite well and very quickly without leaving no grease so that I ...  Read the complete review
