BALANCE ME ROSE OTTO HAND CREAM




Balance Me Rose Otto Hand Cream* - £14.50

"Protect the precious skin on your hands with our super smoothing and exquisitely fragranced cream to hydrate, plump and keep the visible signs of ageing at bay. We've blended naturally active anti-oxidant rich Arctic cloudberry, soothing camellia and kukui nut oils with super smoothing organic shea butter. Our fragrant rose essential oil blend softens, brightens and treats the skin on your hands to a daily dose of velvet-ifying goodness! Our top tip - Don't just save this cream for your hands, treat parched feet to an extra protective layer of skin-quenching goodness before you go to sleep! Dab onto hands as often as needed day and night, rub in lightly and let your skin benefit from its soothing, plumping and super smoothing goodness."

As we all know, the weather is getting colder (-1 degrees for me today, cry!) and that means dry skin. Every part of my skincare routine has become centered around moisturing moisturing moisturing and my hands are no different. Balance Me is a brand that i've dabbled in a little before and been incredibly impressed, so I was excited to try one of their more recent offerings; the rose otto hand cream.

At £14.50 I was looking for a hand cream that really delivers something special and this certainly does. The main thing that stood out to me about this product is how thick and rich it is, being almost a balm-like consistency. A little goes a long way and it really feels as though it's moisturising deep into your skin. It sinks in really quickly so you are free to chuck it back in your bag and carry on with whatever you are doing. I'm not sure what they mean by the claim 'velvit-ifying' but it leaves my hands feeling soft and smooth.

Personally, the scent isn't for me. I love rose scented products but this is a bit too botanical for my taste and it is, in my opinion, quite strong. This won't put me off using the product but it's certainly worth considering if you are looking to buy.

This would be an excellent gift for someone for Christmas and I've already ordered one to give to my Mum. Balance Me is a brand I can see myself gravitating towards in the future and this product will be a handbag staple from now on
