A lot of my time at work is spent typing away on a keyboard, photocopying pieces of paper, stuffing envelopes, printing numerous pieces of work on photocopies and risographs and should I get the dreaded beeps from any of the machines in my office to tell they have got a paper jam or worse, I have to fix to them. All of that takes it toll on my hands and they often become dry and that leads to further problems. One of the main roles within my job is meeting and greeting people from all walks of the life and the last thing I would want to do is shake hands with someone and have dry, chapped and raw skin on my hands. I prefer my hands to be well moisturised, soft and ...  Read the complete review

Although I wouldn't really say that the skin on my hands is particularly dry or that I have problem cuticles, I do have several patches of psoriasis on one thumb and two fingers. One of the main features of psoriasis is that skin cells tend to renew themselves faster than they are shed which leads to unsightly areas of scaly, thickened skin that itches along with cracking and bleeding. Although treatment for this condition has improved slightly over the years, the only real treatments available from the medical profession are either hydro-cortisone creams or the rather unpleasant smelling Coal Tar cream. Having lived with psoriasis for forty years now, I can safely state  Read the complete review

THE COMPANY This product is made by Soap and Glory, who specialise is moisturisers and body care before branching out into a small range of colour cosmetics. They offer an extensive range of products in both mini varieties and jumbo varieties. The main allure of this company for me is the packaging, it mixes modern and retro with a generous helping of femininity and stands out on the drugstore self. THE PACKAGING The packaging is a bright yet pale pink with predominantly black and white text, making it save from your boyfriend's grubby hands, as you will want to use every last drop yourself. It comes in two different sizes 50ml and 125ml, I own ...  Read the complete review

Recently I have been suffering with the backs of my hands becoming really dry - no doubt because its been freezing cold ever since I can remember and my hands are exposed to biting cold winds on a daily basis! I really like Soap and Glory's stuff but I rarely buy it myself, however I had been bought a S&G gift set for my birthday so I thought it was perfect timing to try it out :) The packaging is in the standard S&G branding, a light pink colour and the wording that looks like it comes from a retro magazine! The size in the gift set is smaller than the standard amount, so you can get this product in both 50ml and 125ml sizes. I have had and been using ...  Read the complete review

I received 'Hand Food' from Soap and Glory as part of a Christmas present last year. I was pleased with it as I normally like products from this range - mainly because I love the smell of them. The Hand Food I received comes in a small tube (50ml) but I have seen this product in other containers/sizes. The tube is pink in colour (as is a lot of the Soap & Glory packaging) and says 'The most astonishing hand cream ever? You decide' at the top of it. This is quite in-keeping with their quirky kind of packaging style. The short description on the front says 'non-greasy hand cream with shea butter, macadamia oil and marshmallow' which sounds pretty ...  Read the complete review
