Travel hand creme - hand cream discontinued by Bella Il Fiore - review by js250

This version of Love Me Tender hand cream is travel size and packaged in a plastic lotion dispenser. The dispenser has the typical flip top that does stay shut after you hear the click. You get 2 full ounces of sweet, nourishing hand creme - just right for tossing in your purse!

Use this hand cream to soften dry hands, moisturize after washing or to freshen up when you need a little dab of scent. I did use this hand creme after a bath last night and luxuriated in the rich, sweet aroma until I fell asleep. I obviously will not be doing that very often with just a 2 ounce container, but it was very nice, just that one time!!

This product will work for anyone who does not have any allergies to the ingredients, which I have listed at the bottom of the review. The aroma is long lasting and the moisturizing is good. I have to admit this is more of a touch up lotion, not a deep moisturizer, but the effects are immediate and noticeable.

The white hand creme comes out very easily and has a nice, smooth and creamy texture. It is fairly thick, it keeps the shape of the small hole in the dispenser, and stays in place until you rub it in. A small amount about the size of an M&M will work the best, you can always add some more if needed.

As long as you do not use too much hand creme, this will absorb immediately into your skin without any greasy residue. However, if you use a bit too much, it takes a bit more rubbing and your hands will have a slightly greasy feeling until the excess absorbs or you wipe it off.

The aroma will last several hours, however if need be, you can wash the lotion off in the first couple of minutes. Hand soap will remove all traces of fragrance from your skin if washed a couple of times.

Love Me Tender hand cream does, indeed, smell absolutely delicious. It smells like a wonderfully rich, tropical drink or dessert, however this hand cream is NOT made to be tasted or ingested.

The aroma is light and long lasting. It smells like vanilla almond milk with a hint of coconut. I have also noticed a slight spice scent after about a half an hour, when the initial strength of the aroma has faded. The smell is similar to coconut macaroons, just out of the oven.

The scent is very light and cannot be smelled by those standing farther than a foot away from you. However, if you are sensitive to smells, you may want to try this on your hands to make sure it does not irritate you or give you a headache. I am very sensitive to perfumes and get scent overload headaches very easily, however I have not had any adverse reactions to this hand creme.

The fragrance will last on your skin for about 2-3 hours, depending on what you are doing. The lotion leaves your skin soft and smooth and has a nice, light moisturizing effect. The softness lasts about 3 hours and reapplication is only necessary if you wash your hands frequently or notice dry skin on your hands. You may choose to reapply or add some to your arms for a quick fragrance boost.

Love Me Tender is a wonderful light hand creme that keeps the moisture in your hands. I would not recommend this as a deep moisturizer or for cracked and flaking skin. It is best used to lightly moisturize when you notice your hands are starting to get dry, you are a frequent hand washer and need a bit of moisture put back into your skin or just for a nice, sweet fragrance boost.
