Love me tender - hand cream by Bella Il Fiore - review by TacoODoom

This ultra moisturizing lotion is sweetly scented with an alluring coconut almond fragrance. It absorbs into the skin slower than your normal lotion, due to a high shea butter content, so it's suitable for a massage. I've taken to using it at bedtime on my feet, elbows and hands.

Smooth and silky, it's thin enough to dispense through the bottle pump easily but thick enough to be relatively drip-free. It feels so luxurious, it's every bit as good as a fancy-pants high end lotion I received as a gift last year.

The lotion smells very strongly of coconut, with a floral undertone I assume is the "almond". It's a very pleasing and sensual scent, but may be stronger than some people like. It is lasting. When I put it on before bed, by the time I wake up my skin is still lightly perfumed. I think it's a touch too floral to be called gender neutral, but I find it to be a very pleasing scent.

Oh, it's so so good. As I said, the aloe vera juice and high shea content are extremely nourishing and moisturizing, but do take a little longer for the skin to absorb. The results though are fantastic. My horrid dry winter skin is nourished and soft and sweetly perfumed. I find it sinks in a little faster if applied directly after a shower.
