Crabtree & Evelyn have definitely become one of my favourite brands for hand creams, and this set just solidifies my love for this brand. When me and the other half went to York last month I made a point of popping into store and making a purchase as Manchester doesn't have a store (whyyyyy?!) and this is what I came out with. I already knew the hand cream was sensational as I have the same one but in Tarroco Orange (read the review here) but I was incredibly excited about trying the Hand Recovery exfoliator. First up, the scent. I am a fan of anything rose scented and this lives up to my expectations. Not too strong, but strong enough to linger on my hands for a while. Onto the exfoliator, the star of the show! My hands have a tendency of going really dry for no reason at all and I have to say, the exfoliator really does work absolute wonders. You simply rub a coin sized amount into dry hands and rinse off, and you are left with baby soft hands. Follow with any of the Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams, full of lovely shea butter, and you are good to go. I am so glad I bought this because it has become a brilliant addition to my weekly routine and I don't think my hands have ever been so thankful.

Okay, can I just say one thing, what an mouthful to actually say, c'mon Crabtree & Evelyn, you might want to shorten that down! That really is the only thing that I would change about this hand cream. For years, I was a L'Occitane addict and I wouldn't even bother trying another hand cream but on a recent visit to a L'Occitane store where the customer service was abysmal to say the least, I vented on Twitter. That is when somebody mentioned Crabtree & Evelyn, and when I was in York recently, I saw a store and popped in with my mum, another L'Occitane addict. There was an offer for two Hand Therapy hand creams for £20. We went for it, and I've not looked back since. It's a lovely thick consistency but not too thick that you feel you're slapping your hands in lard. It's sinks in quickly and even after washing your hands through the day, it's there, protecting and loving your hands. The scent is absolutely gorgeous, citrus scent with a really mellow background. You get 100g in the tube so it's a perfect bedside table hand cream. It's safe to say, I know what I'll be using from now on!
