Appearance and Aim.

This Hemp Moisturising Hand Wash comes in a pum action 250ml plastic bottle. The bottle itself is see through which allows us to see the product colour, in this case it is white and looks more like lotion than hand wash. The labels are very subtle compared to their other ranges, the full hemp collection is the same type of packaging and this is a calming green and yellow colour. On the label it states the brand, product name and how to use it, this is printed in two different languages with English at the top and I believe the other to be French which is directly beneath it. This product is specifically designed for really dry hands and this can include cracked damaged skin. This hand wash is supposed to moisturize and soften the skin which will help to repair damaged areas, this product is soap free because soap dries your skin out.

Rub, Rub, Rubbing.

I like to wash my hands often, when I get up first thing in the morning, after brushing my teeth, before eating, before bed and to be honest most of the time. When I started using this I never had really dry skin on my hands but they weren't particaularly soft ether because I had been doing a lot of decorating and scraping the walls, so dampening my hands I squeezed the dispenser down and it released a grape sized portion into my hands. The dispenser was very easy to push down I never had any problems with it the wash itself still looked like lotion in my hand although it looked creamy and had a good thick consistancy to it. You can smell the fairly strong aroma of hemp at the first pump of this which is really hard to describe but it is a relaxing lovely smell, not one I'd rave about or that I think it gorgeous but it a pleasent smell and one I can live with.

Rubbing my hands together this lathered up almost instantly creating bubbly and the texture of it was very creamy and soft against my skin, when washing away it was removed staright away without me having to rub them. Patting my hands dry I could smell the hemp on my hands but only slightly which was nice and my skin was lovely and soft. I felt like I didn't need to wash my hands as often as I had been doing except for certain times such as eating. The smell did drift off my hands over the course of the day but this didn't bother me at all. After using this for around a week I noticed my hands were soft and smooth all the time and I had to wash them even less and they would still saty soft and nice there was no hint of me ever doing any harsh decorating excet for the difference in the house But because of my much needed frequant hand washing this didn't last me too long, it lasted just over 2 weeks but I have been very pleased with this product and bought it a number of times.
