For me the lemon scent of Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme was a bit too much like a cleaning product, not entirely unpleasant but just too strong. I also found that this cuticle creme left a greasy feeling on my fingers, but if using it at night this shouldn't be a problem. The creme comes out of the attractive, though at times frustrating to open, tin in a smooth consistency that does leave hands feeling soft. This product may be more effective on more dramatically damaged hands and cuticles, as it seems much too strong for daily use.

I received a sample of the smaller sized can of Avène Thermal Spring Water and I was very skeptical about it. Who would pay that much for water in a can?! Nonetheless, it has proved versatile and the small can is very handy as it can be toted around in a handbag. I've used it for relief on mild sunburn, as a makeshift toner, after shaving/waxing and to cool down in intense heat or after exercise. I'm not entirely convinced to spend the money on this product but can definitely see the appeal.

I've been using the Natio Clay and Plant Face Mask once a week for a few weeks now, and it's a nice way to spend a little time on myself during the hectic holiday season. This face mask comes out of the bottle a little bit too watery for my liking, but once on the face it thickens into an easy to apply cream. While sitting down to relax with a book for fifteen minutes, the face mask hardens on the skin and you can feel the tightening sensation as it does. This is a very gentle face mask and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin at all. After removal it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth, and any redness and oilyness does seem a bit more relaxed afterwards.
