The Body Shop: Hemp Hand Protector & Foot Protector ~ #Review

Who has been counting the days until March 20, which marks the first day of Spring?  I can't believe this is one of the most bitter Winters we had in a long time.  We had one too many days where the temperature dropped where your skin can freeze within 5 minutes standing in the cold.  Plus it was the first time I had a hard time breathing because it was so cold.   My skin is taking a toll in these extreme weather conditions.  I hate to be off guard without any moisturizers by my side.  Lately I have been keeping The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector in my purse.

The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector & Foot Protector






Did you know:
  • Hemp Hand Protector is The Body Shop's #1 selling product in Canada
  • The Hemp range was launched 15 years ago and moisturized more than 2 million Canadian hands
  • Hemp grows 10 times faster than trees.  It matures to a height of about 8 feet in 4 months
  • Hemp is 4 times more effective at capturing carbon dioxide than the fastest growing trees
  • Hemp is naturally resistant to most pest and has a canopy so high and dense that it creates a challenging environment for weeds, therefore, farmers do not need to use pesticides or herbicides
  • The hemp canopy provides a natural shelter for wildlife and helps to restore soil for future crops
  • Our hemp plants are grown in England and are produced by small scale family farmers using traditional methods passed down through generations
My mom had used The Body Shop's Hemp Hand Protector cream for years and it became one of her favourites and I can see why.  First it feels great on my skin, it absorbs quickly and leaves a matte finished.  The light scent reminds me of pine trees like I am at the cottage which I would love to be there this summer.  My hands feel like they can't live without it because it provides the perfect amount of hydration.  Regular price is $20 but many times I have seen it on sale for $10.

I also had the opportunity to try the Hemp Foot Protector (100ml, $18).  My feet get just as dry as my hands but only worse.  Just like the Hand Protector, it hydrates, absorbs quickly, and provides a matte finished with pine tree scent.  I love how this Hemp Foot Protector can change my uncomfortable dry feet to hydrated comfortable feet within seconds.  This is only of my favourite foot creams because it works!

Have you tried The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector?  Have you tried the other Hemp products?

    It's my go to hand cream in the winter. The smell is a turn off but nothing else heals and prevents my dry cracked winter skin!

    My feet get so dry and cracked, that they bleed and makes it so hard to walk. I am definitely going to get some, my hubby and I would love to see hemp used in more ways it is a miracle plant that only does good. Thank you for the review:)

    I haven't tried this, but anything will be better than having the dry skin this winter has produced.

    Always good to have hand cream in your purse, not only do your hands dry out but those of your little ones too

    sounds like this might well be the cream for me - I'd use it my feet so I wouldn't smell it too much :-)

    This looks so luxurious... I've never tried it, but I'd love to! I've tried some of their other hemp products years ago - they felt great on my skin.
