I’ve always had a rough relationship with winters not just because I hate the freezing cold weather but also because of my dry skin (can we have summers all year around , please?) But since my wishful thinking isn’t going to change anything, I just make sure to add some extra hydration to my skincare routine. And today I have one such body care line that has been of great help to keep my skin healthy, happy and comfortable. I was recently introduced to Camille Beckman, a brand well-known for their fine, hand-crafted creams & lotions especially the Glycerin hand therapy that has been formulated to make even the toughest of hands touchably soft.
Product Description from Camille Beckman : This amazingly rich Hand Therapy formula is made with glycerin and sweet almond oil and is combined with Aloe Vera to soothe away even the harshest trials of your hard working hands. The combination of Wood Mallow, Ivy, Pellitory, Cucumber, elder and Arnica herbs to soften the outer layers of the skin allowing the glycerin, Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E to penetrate deep into the inner layers of the skin.
Camille Beckman Hand Therapy is offered in several different fragrances to choose from and the scents that I tried were: `
o Jade Dragonfly
o Camille
o Peaceful Olive
o Morella Monarch
o Tuscan Honey
I gotta say, these little tubes are a rich treat for dry hands! With a healthy dose of skin-nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E, almond oil, olive oil and wheat protein, the Gycerin Hand Therapy is incredibly soothing and moisturizing. The creamy formula sinks into the skin quickly and so perfectly that you won’t feel any greasiness or heavy coating yet leaves your hands smooth n’soft . I just love to slather it on every night before bed and it offers a protective, highly moisturizing barrier that lasts until morning. Since the texture is not greasy, it’s also perfect for use in daytime to protect your hands from the elements in harsh winter months.
Besides being super hydrating, these hand creams also instantly drench your skin in their fabulous fragrance blends. What I really like is that the scents are not overwhelming and lightly linger around without being cloying. (it was good to see that fragrance is listed at the end of ingredients in every product). My personal favorites are the Camille and Peaceful olive. Described as a delicate cashmere floral, Camille is an absolutely charming fragrance!
Besides the Glycerin Hand Therapy, I was also sent a few products from Camille Backman’s latest collection – The Midnight Monarch.
Top Notes: Jasmine Tea & Bergamot
Heart Notes: Orange Orchid Nectar & Damask Rose
Base Notes: Midnight Patchouli & Vanilla Amber
I got to try the Midnight Monarch Body butter, Silky body cream and Glycerin hand therapy. As with all Camille Beckman products, the packaging is beautiful and that little butterfly on the hand cream looks so adorable! Just like the hand creams mentioned above, both the Silky body cream and Body butter are loaded with all good stuff. The luxuriously rich formula does a great job of keeping me moisturized all day long despite the cold weather and drying indoor heat. As for the fragrance, it’s a little too sweet for my taste but hubby dear seems to like it!
So, can you tell Camille Beckman products have made a mighty good impression on my…..skin? And the best part is that this eco-friendly line of body care products doesn’t come with a lofty price tag so you can pamper yourself or your loved ones even on a budget. They have over 20 delightful Bath & Body product collections ranging from White Lilac to the exotic Persian Turqoise and you can also choose from gift sets (in each category) that would make perfect holiday gifts for everyone on your shopping list!
Camille Beckman’s Glycerin Hand Therapy creams (1.35oz) are available at camillebeckman.com and retail for just $4.95 each. You can also use their store locator to find a retailer near you.
