GM Hand & Body CreamJanuary 10, 2007
5th Avenue Bath Co: Hand & Body Cream with Goat's Milk: Goat's milk is high in protein, triglycerides, Vitamin A, B6, B12 and E making it an excellent natural moisturizer that helps hydrate and nourish skin. Honey is a natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It is high in vitamin C and promotes collagen formation in the skin. Shea Butter is well known in helping moisturize while providing a silky protective barrier to all skin types. This moisturizer is amazing; it absorbs quickly, and it does not leave a greasy after feel. Bath and Body Works is having the yearly clearance sale so tonight as my hubby and I were walking through the mall, I decided to go and see what they had. Right in the doorway was a display with some yummy smelling lotion (I forget what kind now..). Being the lotion fanatic that I am, I was quick to pick it up to try it out. Yuck. My hands were sticky for a good 30 minutes afterwards. I'm not sure what was in that but that seems to be a common thing among your name-brand lotions. And really, dry hands are *much* more desirable than stickyish hands that feel just dirty. Blech. Why did I relate that story? So I could compare it to some of the most awesome body cream anywhere. Ever! I simply had to write another review on one of 5th Avenue's products because they are so incredibly delicious! I received this in peppermint so I immediately decided I would be using it on my feet. I adore peppermint foot products - they make my tootsies feel refreshed and cool. I was not disappointed in this cream! It's thick and oh so luscious and only takes a few seconds to absorb completely - none of this trying to vainly rub in lotion that refuses to go anywhere. What's the point of that?! The peppermint is just right. Some products I've used in the past have WAY too much mint in them and are just overpowering. Watering eyes are not desirable, thanks! There is enough peppermint in this product to leave your hands, feet, or any other body part left feeling cooled and refreshed. It's perfect. While the cream is thick, it's not too much so. It easily smoothes on and feels silky as it's being rubbed in. The thicker nature of this makes it ideal for foot care. I personally hate watery lotions or creams for the feet. I enjoy a thick cream that feels like it's really doing the job. You can feel this filling the cracks and dry patches and going right to work. A few days of using this morning and night and my feet were in heaven. Moisturized and smooth. But it's also perfect for the entire body, not just the feet! As a hand lotion it leaves your hands silky soft without stickiness or oiliness. I love the fact it so quickly absorbs and leaves you feeling so refreshed. This peppermint is great for everywhere - not just the feet. I'm going to have to order more of this as my sister was visiting recently and when she left, this cream was mysteriously missing. She's addicted to 5th Ave's products and I don't blame her! Erika has a done an excellent job with her product line and to date, I've yet to try something I don't immediately fall in love with. Available in several different scents for both men and women, 5th Avenue Bath Co's Hand & Body Cream with Goat Milk is $23.95 for an 12 ounce jar. This will last forever and will be a purchase that you simply will not regret. I guarantee that!
