[A'kin] Hand, Nail and Cuticle Creme

[A'kin] Hand, Nail and Cuticle Creme

This hand cream is full of goodness .... are you ready?
Lavender, Geranium, Jojoba, Vitamin B5, Vitamin E and Shea Butter.

Promoting soft, supple hands and strong nails the natural ingredients totally echo their claims with the properties they add to the hand cream.  Soothing and calming vitamin E and B5, nourishing and moisturising for hands and cuticles, plus all together they keep your skin supple and youthful.

I admit I am not a hand cream fan, I don't like the oily sticky feeling they sometimes leave you.  This cream claims to 'leave no oily residue' but if I am completely honest ... it does.  I end up with a film over my skin, not just on my palms but on the backs of my hands too.  I also found it really really thick and hard to rub in.

Fragrance wise its quite pleasant, lavender is apparent and like other products I have reviewed from the same range there is a common fragrant theme.

Having dry hands I did find the cream moisturising, but I had to wash my hands a few minutes after applying as I couldn't stand the sticky feeling.
A top point to add is that the tube is security sealed with a foil tab under the screw top flip cap, this is great as you know the contents are new and clean, plus it won't ooze everywhere on transit should the top come undone.

At £7.99 for 75ml it is quite good value as I think the tube will last quite a long time.

[A'kin] Light Conditioner

[A'kin] Light Conditioner

This conditioner is for normal, fine and oily hair. It is a light conditioner so that it won't clog your hair and make it heavy and lifeless.

Containing jojoba and lavender the fragrance is mainly lavender which reminds me of old ladies. Unfortunately although lavender as a property is excellent for skin and hair the fragrance is very oldy-worldy and dated.

I love the bottle style as it is very traditional and different to our everyday off the shelf products, the bottle looks very posh in your bathroom.

The conditioner on the whole is very light and creamy. It spreads easily through your hair and you do not need much to condition your whole head. The conditioner also washes out really easily and does not leave your hair feeling slimy, just squeaky and clean.

Being a light conditioner is it good for oily hair, I did avoid my roots though as my roots do not need conditioner at all - the cream was easily able to be spread around the ends avoiding my root area.

After use the lavender does tone down a little and doe not clash with highly fragranced shampoo's. My hair felt soft and healthy after washing, after drying it had a slight shine which was nice.

225ml is £7.49 a little pricy but it is good quality, so you get a good product for your money.
