Review: Swisa Beauty Dead Sea Salt Mineral Treatment for Hands & Feet – Pineapple Mango

Hello Friends!

It’s been a while since I’ve ventured into the world of cosmetic review… so I figured, what better way to return than with another scrub… Oh, how I love scrubs!

I love scrubs almost as much as I love Thanksgiving (and I hope you had a good one). If your holiday was anything like mine it involved a lot of eating… and cooking… and hand washing… and dishes.

Everyone worries about the impact of the food on a waistline… but how about the impact of the cooking and cleaning on your hands? Seriously, my skin was like sandpaper!

But yes, it is worth it… and it results in one more thing to be thankful for. This scrub. For hands. And Feet. Yay!

Basics: It’s our old friend the scrub, but with some extra minerals to address the dry skin conundrum. Just mix it up to get a good balance of oil & salts, then rub, rub, rub your hands together for a full minute. Rinse, moisturize, and get to remembering your holiday with family, leftovers, and smooth hands that don’t give away how hard you worked for it. And, if you are feeling like a spa day, use it on your feet as well!

Swisa Beauty Pineapple Mango Salt Scrub

Extravagance: I’m always amazed at how the Swisa Beauty Dead Sea products smell so yummy… almost edible. This Pineapple Mango scent is fresh, clean and fruity, but not too sweet or strong. It doesn’t compete with your favorite daily perfume or lotions. It just smells good.

Imperfections: The scrub works great, and what makes it for feet & hands is the extra minerals. By extra minerals, they meant to say extra oil. I’m okay with that, because it really works, but it does make for a slightly messier experience. I would recommend keeping this one in the shower and using where it can be easily rinsed… off your hands, feet, the jar, surfaces….

Also, it is great for sloughing off dry skin, but don’t expect a callus cure from this scrub.

To Sum It Up: My hands don’t sound like sand paper when I rub them together any more. That’s a plus. I think you’ll really like this product.

Oh, and on a side note, for those of you that get flaky, dry skin around the elbows and knees… I bet this would be awesome!

Review: Dead Sea Premier Luxury Collection Hand Cream

Alright Fellas, this one is for you! (Ladies, here’s your chance to get your guy to moisturize… and still feel all manly.)

I knew instantly that the smell was not for me (it competed a bit with my perfume), but I also knew that it smelled really nice.

So, here’s what I did:

Dead Sea Premier Hand CreamI brought this hand cream to work, and sat it right next to my hand sanitizer. I encouraged everyone to try it. Most of the women agreed that it smelled nice, and that they could imagine a man using it. The men… well, those that would actually try it, agreed that it was a nice cologne scent. I actually had one guy ask me if it smelled anything like guns or motor oil. When I said no… he wouldn’t use it. sigh.

I did have one woman in the office who always smells so very good ask me if she could have it once I had reviewed. It smelled great on her, and meshed well with her cologne. She prefers stronger scents, and really it is perfect for her as well.

Basics: A lovely hand cream with a more masculine, cologne smell to it.

Extravagance: As with all of the lotions and potions I’ve used by Dead Sea Premier, it is luxurious. Super moisturizing, long lasting, and delightful. The scent is not overpowering, though it does hold on.

Imperfections: None to speak of, really. Scent appreciation is subjective, and while I do very much like this one… I won’t wear it.

To Sum It Up: If you like a cologne scent more so than a perfumey or flowery scent… this is for you. If you have a fella that you can’t get to moisturize… this may be for him.

For now, I’m going to pass this on to my lovely co-worker and enjoy the scent from a distance.
