Lush Putty For Your Hands

I'm not really one to take especial care of my hands even though my mom always tells me I have to at least put lotion on them after washing them and maybe that's why my hands are so dry. It may also have to do with the fact that my skin gets really dry with regular hand soap, that's why this product is perfect for me.

  A little fact about me, soaps are one of my favorite products from Lush mainly because of the strong smell even when stored, the smell is so strong it fills my room. So of course this being one of the few all year round soaps that I hadn't tried yet I had to get it. When my package arrived, the smell of this soap was overpowered by all the naked products, especially by the new hair shampoo bar which has a really strong scent, but upon opening the wrapper a really herbal smell really hits you,you can detect the lavander, it doesn't smell anything like any other Lush soap offers but it's quite nice.

 Lush advertises this as a 100% natural product which I must say is a really nice change because SLS tends to dry my hands quite a bit. It contains no soap which means the antibacterial properties come from the tea tree oil and also because of this it doesn't lather. Before I started using Lush products I always felt the foam was necessary to feel clean but after using the facial cleansers I realized the foam is unnecessary. Since it creates no foam you have to use this a little differently from other soaps, the complany says you can get the whole bar wet and use it as every regular bar of soap but I found this to be a problem.

You see, when the product gets wet it forms a paste and it melts which is why at first I just grabbed a little pinch and washed but since I don't like leaving it next to the sink out of fear it will get wet, I put in in a plastic container and crumbled it so it looks like a powder,this way I can put it in a little tube and carry it around in my purse or bring the container to the bathroom and grab a little powder, I feel that this way I waste less because I just grab some wih the lid so my dirty hands don't contaminate the rest of the product.

You just put some powder in your hands, put a little water and form a runny paste and use it as you would a liquid soap. After you rinse your hands will feel kind of greasy, since it's packed with moisturizing ingredients this is normal just dry them and the will smell great and feel soft, you don't even have to put lotion afterwards if you don't want to. This is especially great for the colder months when you feel not even a tub of lotion will moisturize your hands!
