This hemp hand scrub is designed to exfoliate and cleanse extremely dry hands. However, I also use this on my feet as well as my hands. Although I would say the exfoliant is a little too harsh for any other part of the body.

***Product and packaging***

The product is 100ml in quantity and is contained in a foil tube with a plastic screw top lid. The cream contains hemp seed oil, glycerin and walnut shell; amongst other ingredients.

The cream is pale in colour with brown particles of walnut shell contained heavily within it. The cream smells earthy and is creamy and thick in consistency.

***Use and results***

The cream can be applied to both wet and dry hands. It is rubbed all over, palms and backs, to moisturise and exfoliate. The cream itself feels silky and smooth on the skin, but the walnut shell is quite abrasive so I find that I don't rub this in too vigourously as it can hurt! It is then easily washed off to remove the walnut shells and cream residue.

After washing the cream off of my hands, the hemp oil had left my felt silky and smooth, The walnut shells had scrubbed of the dead skin cells and left the backs of my hands looking rejuvenated. The moistured look and feel remained for several days after using this - I do not suffer with very dry skin, however.

***Overall opinion***

This is a nice mid-week moisture booster for hands and feet. I would not recommend this to individuals with sensitive skin, as the walnut shells are quite abrasive so may upset some sensitive skins. I recieved this as a gift several years ago, but the product retails around £10 and is exclusive to The Body Shop. This does seem quite expensive, even though the tube would last a few months, if only used once a week.

I do like this cream and the results it delivers, but I can't help but think that this could easily be replicated at home with olive oil and sugar. Therefore, I probably would not purchase this at full price; but if I saw it on offer I would definately buy it.
