Jergens Daily Moisture Fragrance Free Dry Skin Body Moisturiser £3.49 link

The Jergens Daily Mositure Fragrance Free Body Lotion claims to be a 24 hour hydrating body lotion that gives you noticeably smoother skin without any irritating fragrance. The formula is enriched with silk proteins that help skin look smoother all day long.

The white lotion smooths on the skin leaving it feeling refreshed and moisturized. It sinks in quite quickly for something that claims to give all day long effects. The lotion isn't thick or sticky like some can be, and it is fragrance free like it claims to be.

If you find your skin easily irritated by fragrance, even the smallest amount, then I would give this a go. I found it to be great on even the most sensitive parts of my skin, and it does give a nice nourished effect.

I only have patches of sensitive skin and this worked on moisturizing them without any irritation. I also found that because there was no fragrance, that it helped my perfume keep it's true scent rather than the two merging together. So, if there isn't a lotion that matches your perfume scent, go with something fragrance free instead of mixing scents.

I'm not sure if it makes my skin smoother, but it does leave it feeling moisturized for most of the day. It's not going to give you the level of moisturizing that Body Shop Body Butters, or anything like that but it's great for everyday use when you need something that is going to sink in fast and leave skin free of any fragrance.

I would highly recommend this to anyone with sensitive skin who wants a simple moisturizer for every day use. It's cheap, simple and does pretty much what is says.

The Jergens Ultra Healing Hand Cream is a hand cream targets at those with extra dry hands. It claims to nourish and heal the dry skin to give visibly healthier looking hands. It contains vitamin C, E and B5.

When I read that this was for extra dry skin, I imaginged it would be similar to Concentrated Hand Creams like Palmers and Superdrug offer but it's not. It is quite a runny liquid, which means you get far to much come out of the tube when you go to use it.

You only need a small amount because a little does go a long way. It doesn't sink in to quickly which means I don't carry this around with me. I do keep this at my bedside because I don't really mind it leaving a slight residue at night. While it does leave a residue, it really does moisturize your hands. I wouldn't say it's going to do anything if you have really dry skin, but for my just slightly dry skin it's great.

There is a slight fragrance to this, but it's nothing really strong. I don't really know what it smells like but it's a soft, clean type of scent. If you want something fragrance free, this won't be for you. If you don't mind a short-lasting (is that a word?) scent, then you could get away with this.

It does contain mineral oil (or paraffinum liquidum) which I know if not good in beauty products. I'm a skin care dense head, so I have no idea if having mineral oil in a hand cream is bad. Do you? I know it's bad in products you use on your face, but does that transfer to your hands?

You pay £3.49 for 75ml of the hand cream, which I would consider an average price for decent, drugstore/high street hand cream. I've noticed that the Jergens Hand Creams (this one and a daily moisture option) are quite often on some kind of sale in Boots and Superdrug, so I would wait for those offers to pop up before purchasing.
