Body Shop: Wild Rose Hand Cream SPF15

While cursed with oily T-zone, rest of my skin tends to get very dry; I know a lot of you are foundation or nail polish or eyeshadow hoarders, I am definietly a moisutizer hoarder. I stock up on  lot of body lotions (currently 5 bottles ^^), lip balms (6 sticks?) and hand creams.

I think I've already mentioned it, but I'll have to stress this again: Netherlands is not the best place to buy cosmetics. The choice is pretty narrow, mostly well-known brands worldwide brands, not too much locally. I discover that over and over again when looking for somethign specific, in this case a hand cream with SPF. There was not a single one in my drugstore! I was bummed.


Then I went online and saw that Body Shop, company I in genegral respect, though have an ambivalent opinion about their products, does have a product with SPF. Not a fan of rose smell but I could overlook that.

Let me cut right down to the point: hand's down worse hand cream I've ever had. Ever.
This products dries my skin more than it moisturizes. I was looking at the ingridients list expecting to see low molecular weight alcohols there to justify hwo drying it is, but they do use fatty alcohol so I will put that effect on teh amout of perfume the product has.

Never again.
Shame on you, Body Shop!
