It is product review time again everyone!
Today I will be reviewing a wonderful product that I've used for a couple of years now. I am not entirely sure why I have not written a review for it, but here it is! Pré de Provence 100% Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Treatment is the review for the day.
If you have dry skin you know how much of a problem it can be to relieve that. Most of the time you go out and by lotions and creams in an attempt to relieve the inching and discomfort. For some odd reason I have ridiculously dry skin on my hands and scalp. I used to carry around hand creams and use them like nobody's business. However, when working with fine jewellery that does not bode well. The residue gets under your rings and fingernails which can make your skin turn colours if the chemicals in the cream react with the metal of your jewellery. Not good. Even worse is that it gets on the merchandise. Large gems and rings tend to show fingerprints and it gets worse if you have lotion or hand cream on your hands. Even if you do not work in the jewellery business you end up getting fingerprints everywhere and dropping things because your hands are slick. Finding a product that does not leave a slick, greasy, or oily residue is very difficult.
The good news is that Pré de Provence 100% Shea Butter Extra Dry Skin Treatment does not have very much of a residue of any kind. It is wonderful! Best of all, it does not really have a smell to it. This means that it will not mix funny with your perfumes or colognes. As the name says, it is not a lotion or a cream. It is a butter. Yep, you read that right. Since it is a butter it absorbs into the skin better in the same way that your kitchen butter will absorb into your food. Also, because it absorbs into the skin and does not stay on the surface you do not have to keep reapplying it over and over and over again. It also does not get everywhere like some creams and lotions will because it has a thick texture.
So, the bad thing about this product? Well, honestly it is a bit expensive. Granted, because you do not have to apply it as often it lasts longer than most lotions and that sort of makes up for it. Even so, when I purchased my most recent tube of it I spent $13 for the small tube! It seems a bit ridiculous for what it is. Since it works though, I do not mind that much. Also, the thick texture is a bit of downside. Wait, I thought you said that was a good thing. Yes, it is a good thing because it does not get everywhere and it is easy to close the tube back because it does not run. That is also a down side because it is sort of difficult to get it spread over your hands. You might also end up getting too much because you feel that in getting more it will be easy to spread. Not true. Using more will only give you that much more that you have to spread out. So, in that sense it is not very good.
Overall, it is a good product. I would recommend it to anyone. I always keep a tube of it in my purse and am more than happy to share it with my friends when they ask for some.
Hope you found this helpful! Until next time!
Stay beautiful and amazing!
