My Opinion :- I have dry skin on my body, specially on my limbs. As winter approaches, I perk up my body care routine as my skin gets drier. Last month Oriflame sent me a whole bunch of products and I was very excited to find Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream among other stuff. This cream is officially my first body cream from Oriflame, but I doubt if it had the word 'Gold' in it back then. Anyways the formula and packaging seems to have remained the same over the years. As I was using some other body lotions (for both day & night time) from other brand, I started using this since last 20 days or more. So here I am with my views on Oriflame Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream.

                         This Milk & Honey Cream comes in a cute round see-through plastic jar with a golden brown screw-on lid. The packaging is sturdy but not hygienic as I have to dip my finger to get the cream out for use (I have long nails). The jar is big enough to be travel-friendly but there is a protective foil at the mouth of the jar to avoid the cream from coming in contact with the lid and getting messy. Still I don't prefer to carry it along with me during my frequent travels as the cute jar is bulky and a little heavy too. I wish Oriflame had a smaller tube packaging of this cream as well, then it would have been hygienic and travel-friendly as well.

 
                      

                      The fragrance of this hand & body cream too has remained the same as far as I can remember. The Milk & Honey Soap has a similar scent, fresh Jasmine but sweet and mild. The scent stays on for a while before fading off totally. This hand & body cream is a pale yellowish in color, thick butter-ish but more of a gel formula, it's light weight but very hydrating. This Milk & Honey Cream gives a cool feel to the skin upon application and therefore I think it would be a treat to use it during the hot summer nights. About 5 small blobs of cream is enough to cover my entire body. I prefer to dip a Q-tip to take out the product instead of my finger as the quantity is huge (250 gm), I would not be able to finish it off anytime soon and also I don't want to contaminate it. 

THE CREAM LOOKS LIKE THICK BUTTER, VERY HEAVY

                             I use two different body creams/lotions everyday at different times, a lotion/cream with sun protection for the day and a plain one for the night. This hand and body cream does not come with sun protection and this is the reason I apply it all over my body during the night as I love to apply body lotions/cream at night before hitting the bed. I have seen my mom doing this since I was a mere child and I have happily followed her. This cream easily gets absorbed into the skin with a gentle massage and immediately hydrates my dry skin. This Milk & Honey Cream is non-sticky and has good moisturising abilities but it just goes off within an hour leaving behind a luxurious silky-satiny feel to the skin. This silky feel stays on till washed off with water.





                           As for my hands, they are a lot dry, so I need a specialized hand cream but I do top it with this hand and body cream and than my hands are silky to the touch. In the morning my skin feels soft and supple and silky to the touch. I have to move on to a richer cream/lotion as the harsh winters come by because by then my skin would be much more drier and would need a richer moisturiser. Otherwise this hand and body cream would work wonders on my skin during the summers/warm/not so cold days when the skin on my body is not so dry. I know of a girl, who has normal facial skin and uses this on her face at all times and has fabulous skin. Ofcourse I never tried it on my face and I never will :P but it's my mom's favorite body cream (she had normal body skin) and a hit from Oriflame.

Pros:



* Very hydrating

* Imparts a luxurious silky-satiny feel to the skin

* Mild & sweet Jasmine fragrance

* Rs 479 for 250 gm is justified, Oriflame products are on sale most of the time

* Non-sticky & non-greasy formula

* Light-weight gel formula, looks like thick butter

* Gets absorbed into the skin easily

* Contains organic extracts of milk & honey

* Makes the skin soft & supple




Cons:


* Bulky packaging, not travel-friendly & hygienic (I prefer tube packaging over jars with open mouths 

* Available only through Oriflame consultants

* No SPF included

* Moisturizing effect lasts only for an hour or less, would need reapplication if used during the day

                   I rate Oriflame Milk & Honey Gold Nourishing Hand & Body Cream 4.25 out of 5. It does not comes with sun protection and so I had to use it during nights only. Gives a luxurious silky feel to the skin apart from being hydrating. Highly recomemded to all girls who adore body creams and also to girls with all skin types except very very dry chapped skin. A great body cream from Oriflame <3

My Opinion : I love the large variety Oriflame has to offer in Hand Creams, I have already reviewed Coconut & Ricemilk Hand Cream and Nourishing Hand Cream for Dry Hands. I use different hand creams at different times- one for the day and another for the night. The one I am using for the day is Oriflame Ecobeauty Hand Cream which I bought many months back but started using since the last month ans a half. This time I chose this particular hand cream as it boosts of being vegan, paraben free and claims to contain 99% organic ingredients. I sit in an air conditioned office whole day and naturally also my hands are on the dry side which turns drier in the winters. Therefore the need of a hand cream arises after each time I wash my hands. 

                         The hand cream is thick white and light-weight, not sticky or greasy therefore it is perfect for day time use. It has been enough moisturising (but it would not work for very dry skin) since I started using it but now my hands are turning a little drier and I am planning to keep this hand cream aside after this review. The hand cream sinks into my skin in seconds with a little massage and I can almost immediately work on my laptop and handle official documents. The hand cream comes in a white opaque plastic tube with a refreshing green screw-on cap. The tube packaging is ideal for carrying around in your purse and hygienic too. The fragrance of this hand cream is not on the pleasant side but it is not unpleasant as well.

                       This hand cream washes off with water only without the use of soap so I have to reapply every time I wash my hands. But supposedly I don't wash my hands for a longer period of time, the hand cream and its moisturising effect stays on. Also a small blob of cream is required for each use so the Rs 329 tag for 75 ml is justified, after using it for over a month now nearly half of the cream is left in the tube which I shall use up later. Around September/October the skin on my hands were normal so this cream was working very well for me but now as winter is here I am switching on to a richer hand cream for day time also. Overall a good hand cream for the summers and perfect for day time use as most ladies  prefer a rich formulation for the night.

Pros:


* Good day-time hand cream

* Non-greasy & non-sticky

* Moisturises enough

* Does not transfers to papers, keypad etc

* Contains Organic Coconut Oil & Glycerin and Shea butter

* It's a Vegan hand cream

* Gets absorbed into my hands easily, within seconds

* Does not contains Parabens




Cons:


* Fragrance is not very pleasant but not unbearable as well

* Not for very dry skin

* Available only through Oriflame consultants




                     I rate Oriflame Ecobeauty Hand Cream 4.25 out of 5 as it is vegan and paraben-free. I would suggest using it during the summer months as most ladies would find it non-hydrating for the dry winter months. Another decent non-sticky non-greasy formula from Oriflame which I recommend for use during summer months at day time.

100 ml for INR 259

Company Says:- Nourishing hand cream with Sweet Almond Oil to immediately soften and smooth dry skin. Use throughout the day.

Ingredients:- Aqua, Glycerin, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Paraffinum Liquidum, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis, Cetearyl Ethylhexanoate, Carbomer, Ceteareth-20, Parfum, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Methylparaben, Stearic Acid, Propylparaben, Sodium Hydroxide, Isopropyl Myristate

My Opinion:-
A couple of years back, the only thing I applied on my hands and feet was the regular body lotion. But since I have started blogging and taking more care of myself, I started using hand creams on my hands. I think that I tend to take more care of myself if I have different products for different purpose/body parts. This is how I got this habit of using hand creams all the time.

Today I am going to put forward my views on Oriflame's Nourishing Hand Cream For Dry Hands. Winter makes my hands a little dry, so I chose this particular hand cream. It comes in a matte peachy-orangey tube with a flip open lid. The lid click shuts thightly so its travel-safe, I have travelled with it safely. The fragrance is sweet-milky (if that makes any sense), its mild and that's what I love in a hand cream. I tend to reach out for it all throughout the day for the sweet smell actually.

This cream is not thick, its like a lotion and it spreads so easily on my hands. Just a blob is enough for each application and I apply atleast 5 times a day and its seen me through nearly 50 days of cold weather. This cream gets absorbed quickly and leaves behind no greasiness on my hands and I can work on my laptop after waiting for a couple of mins. It does not stains my clothes or anything I touch.

It has taken good care of my hands by giving them enough moisturization. My hands remained soft and smooth while I kept using this. This cream has reduced the darkness of my knuckles which is why I loved it. It contains Sweet Almond Oil which is very nourishing and has whitening properties.

But though its named Nourishing Hand Cream For Dry Hands, its not going to help the ones with very dry/peeling hands. Its good the ones with little dryness which most of us get in the severe winters. Also I needed to apply this cream after every single wash because it goes off when hands are washed (without soap/hand wash). Its neither water-resistant nor water-proof.

Pros:-

* Contains Sweet Almond Oil/Extract which has nourishing as well as whitening properties

* Nourished/Moisturised my hands

* Saw me through 50+ days, complete paisa vasool (value for money)

* Whitened my knuckles to quite an extent

* Spreads well, gets absorbed fast and does not make my hands greasy

Cons:-

* Price is a bit high at Rs 259 but offers are very frequent in oriflame

* Contains Urea and Parabens

* Not moisturising/nourishing for very dry hands, don't go by the name

I rate this Oriflame Nourishing Hand Cream For Dry Hands 4.25 out of 5. Its a good hand cream as it gives proper moisture/nourishment but people with very dry/peeling hands please stay away as it will do nothing for you. Now next hand cream after finishing this off is from Avon, I will review it after some days. Till then do take good care of your hands and thanks for reading this post :D

             Here's a quick first aid treatment that should get your hands back in shape in about a week. Apart from getting a special manicure before your wedding, follow this routine also to show off lovely-gorgeous hands on your D-day.

            Every night before going to bed, soak your hands in warm olive oil into which the contents of 1 capsule of vitamin E has been added. After 10 mins take out your hands, massage well, not forgetting your nails.

            Take 2 tablets of calcium (consult your doctor first) with a glass of warm water or milk. Other than strengthening your nails, calcium is also a natural tranquilizer. It will help you sleep better.

            Every morning massage some rich cream or oil into your hands and nails.

            Buff your nails- this makes them shinier and healthier by stepping up circulation on the finger tips.

           Whenever possible, throughout the day, keep massaging little blobs of Vaseline/Moisturex into your hands and nails, minimum is thrice a day.

          Concentrate on health foods for nails: milk gives you calcium and vitamin D, raw cabbage gives you vitamins C n D and Sardines gives you iodine. Step up your water intake but avoid wetting your nails, wear gloves if doing household work.

          Vegetable juices contains acid which ham your nails and stain them. Stay away from strong detergents as they damage hands and nails.

          Use lemon juice for removing stains from fingers and nails. But if you have dry hands use potato juice instead of lemon juice as it is milder and not drying. However, lemon juice acts faster.

          If your nails are prone to splitting, take gelatin dissolved in warm milk for a whole week. Or ask to your doctor to prescribe gelatin capsule, I heard these are now available.

         To make the nail color last and to avoid chipping , always use a protective anti-chip top coat over your polish. For nails to remain healthy, it is essential to keep them polish free occasionally.     

         Ideally each time you remove your old polish, nails should be allowed to breathe.

**Throughout this entire week your nails should stay free from any kind of polish**
