Hand Lotions

This past winter I tested two very different hand lotions.

One was L'OCCITANE Creme Mains Hand Cream in a handy 30 ml tube. Very mild, flowed easily, was effective and had a pleasant aroma. Wish it were more widely available.

The other was Jack Black Industrial Strength hand Healer. Very good product. Really industrial strength--473 ml, very thick and long lasting, but hard to spread. I used it mostly for that last application at night. Good product to fight the winter's indoor dryness.

Redken Products

Just finished using Redken's Nature's Rescue Refining Sea Polish shampoo and Redken's Nature's Rescue Cooling Deep Conditioner .

they are both fine products that I will use in the future. The shampoo came in a very handy tube and worked exactly as advertised--it felt that my hair was really scrubbed, and it rinsed clean. Since I shampoo daily, I did alternate it with a different Redken product--Refreshing Detox Shampoo which seems more soothing.

I liked the conditioner very much probably one of the best conditioners I ever used. My one complaint is that it came in a jar and it was awkward to use in the shower.

I would recommend all three of these products highly.
