|Review|: Essence 24 hour protection Hand Balm
11:15 AM
Hi Beauties!
Winters
are in full swing and these winters have been really harsh on our skins. The
winter winds are making the skin real dry and chappy. No matter how much we
cover ourselves but hands and face is something that usually exposed to the
harsh climate. In this post I bring you a product for hand care which is very
effective and pocket friendly.

| Essence 24h Hand protection Balm |
Essence is a Cosnova Beauty product,
a company which has two dynamic brands under its wings; Essence and Catrice
cosmetics. Essence is now widely available in Pakistan and all super stores
have a special counter for it. Since I am a regular user of Essence brand I
decided to give the hand balm a try.
Here is what Essence says about
its hand protection balm:
“The 24 hour protection balm is an innovative repair care for
particularly rough and dry hands. The repair formula with shea butter and
coconut oil provides moisture & care and protects your hands from dryness
for upto 24 hours. Does not leave an oily residue”
Essence hand care products come
in different variants; I bought the one in pink which is actually a repair
balm. It comes in a 75ml plastic tube which is also travel friendly due to its
small size. You can conveniently carry it in your hand bag and use it whenever
you need to.

One just requires a
pea sized amount and massage it well onto hands. It absorbs quickly and
moisturizes the hands making them smooth and hydrated. It also has a light hint
of cherry like fragrance which is welcoming to the nose and hands. It is not very strong and fades with time.
Although it says it provides 24
hours protection, however it does not last all that long. Since it absorbs quickly into
the skin it also fades rather quickly. You can feel its effect for like two or
three hours and may need to apply again depending upon the dryness of your
skin. It softens the hands and does not
leave an oily residue. It surely has
helped me a lot during this winters and my hands are smooth and hydrated. I have been using it for a month now and I have used it religiously. Whenever I felt my hands to be dry I applied this cream and I am very satisfied with the result. Overall
I would rate this product a 4/5 and totally recommend buying it. Its prices at
Rs. 155 which is more than reasonable. So for the price and quality it’s an
absolute grab. Its available at Raja Sahib Link Road and Liberty Market branch and also at Enem Store and Al Fatah.
Hope you liked my review. Drop in
your feedback and also any requests if you want me to review something. Stay
healthy and beautiful. Take care!
