This is one of my lotions of choice in the winter months which reek havoc on my hands. This lotion feels more like a salve in a more liquid form. It is very thick and certainly moisturizes your skin. My only problem with this lotion is that it can feel fairly sticky and your hands feel like they have a film over top of them for a long while after use. To remedy this, I use it only on my commute to/from school or work. I put it on my hands and then put my gloves on for my long journey. This helps to seal in the moisture – the heat generated from my hands coupled with the intense hand lotion leaves my hands silky soft after I arrive at my destination. AND there is so sticky feeling when I get there. Avon frequently has sales on their regular products such as this one, so look for one and try it out!
