HAND CARE | Carex Hand Cream + Giveaway


With the weather getting colder by the minute, it's time to dig out the dry skin products - hand cream included. Carex have recently launched two varities of hand saviours and for the past few weeks, I've been trying them out. With antibacterial properties, these creams are wonderful at nourishing, moisturising and protecting your hands. Nourish & Protect* comes with extra Vitamin E while Hydrate & Protect* includes Aloe Vera. The handbag sized bottles are wonderful for throwing into your handbag to ensure your hands stay in tiptop condition no matter where you are. At £2.50 each, they're an absolute bargain and some of the best hand creams I've tried. They smell clean and fresh and the cream sinks into the hands immediately leaving you with beautifully soft skin. I use Nourish & Protect before I go to bed and Hydrate & Protect throughout the day to make sure that my hands don't end up dry in this terrible weather.

I have 2 bottles of Hydrate & Protect and 2 bottles of Nourish & Protect to give away. All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning a bottle is be a resident of the UK and fill out the Rafflecopter form before. I'll be sending a random variant to each winner but if you do have a preference, let me know on the form and I'll try and give everyone the formula they'd prefer.

Have you tried out the Carex Hand Creams before? What is your favourite hand cream?

Bedside Beauty



Next to my bed, I have a few essential products that I apply to my hands, lips and pillow before going to sleep. The candle isn't something that I leave burning throughout the night - don't worry! - but I do love lighting it a couple of hours before I'm due in bed so that the room is filled with a gorgeous scent. 

The Carex Nourish & Protect Vitamin E Hand Cream* is truly wonderful. I have six bottles of the new Carex Hand Creams and I can't recommend them enough. I will be doing a full blog post on them all so I'll just give you a brief overview of this one for now. The Nourish & Protect version is great for when your hands are feeling more dry than usual. The Vitamin E sinks into the hands quickly, moisturising them and leaving them feeling super soft. On my lips I use the Strawberry & Vanilla Cream Truffle lip balm from the Baylis & Harding Beauticology Chocolate Lip Balm Tin Set.* Not only does this lip balm smell and taste incredible, it also nourishes the lips without leaving a nasty film of product on them. 

I've mentioned the Miaroma Lavender Pure Essential Oil* before and I stand by everything I said. Despite the fact that I hate the smell of lavender, I love using a couple of drops of this oil on my pillow before going to bed. It really soothes me and helps me get a calm and satisfying nights sleep. And finally, the Colony Powder Fresh candle smells absolutely divine. It's clean, fresh and extremely affordable. I bought this when it was in the clearance section at Boots as I'd had my eyes on it for a while. It smells exactly like it claims to and fills the room with a beautiful aroma. 

What products do you keep by the bedside?
