Today's post is going to be a review of the Neals Yard Bee Lovely Hand Cream (£10) which I received in the Marks and Spencer beauty advent calendar last Christmas. I have stated in previous blog posts that I'm quite lazy when it comes to using hand creams but I also work in retail where my hands and nails get pretty dry and damaged so I always like to have some at home for when I need some extra care. As usual, I will tell you what the product claims are then I'll give my review before telling you if I would repurchase or not.

My Review
The first thing I need to say is that this hand cream smells incredible. It smells like oranges and is super uplifting and zesty! The cream is thick and luxurious, it sinks into the skin and instantly leaves your hands feeling soft. I will say this isn't the quickest absorbing cream and you will feel residue on the hands for a while. Usually, I prefer a hand cream to absorb very quickly but this feels so nice and really softens the skin so I don't mind it taking a little longer as it's not overly greasy feeling. This was originally intended to be a limited edition product but it was so loved it was brought back as a permanent item. I love that buying this hand cream helps raise money for projects that help to save our precious bees. Not only does this work as a skincare product but it's helping to do good which is an extra incentive to pick up this product. I didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I have as I'm not a big hand cream lover so I'm surprised myself to say that I would repurchase this item and have really enjoyed using it.
