Hi there! Today’s post is about 3 products that were gifted to me – The Body Shop‘s Almond Milk & Honey Calming & Protecting Hand Cream, Soothing & Caring Shower Cream and Body Butter. These products are aimed at people with sensitive or dry skin.
I tried the hand cream first – and I liked it a lot! The hand cream feels nourishing, and it makes my skin feel super soft for hours. The almond milk and honey fragrance is sweet and warm – just lovely!
The shower cream is quite unusual because it’s pretty much like a cream! It feels nourishing, but it doesn’t really lather up, and it doesn’t feel very cleansing. But it smells great!
The body butter doesn’t smell as good as the hand cream or the shower cream, but it’s quick and easy to use because it melts into the skin. Having said that, this body butter isn’t as nourishing as I expected. After 12 hours the skin on my legs felt dry (the rest of my body was OK though).
I’m happy that I got the chance to test these products. However, I wouldn’t buy them for myself. Whilst the hand cream is great, I wouldn’t pay £5 for such a tiny tube!
The Body Shop Almond Milk & Honey hand cream is available as 30ml, the shower cream is available as 60ml and 250ml, and the body butter is available as 50ml and 200ml.

I tried the hand cream when the range was relatively new and it is lovely! I picked up a 60ml bottle of the shower cream to try as my skin is super sensitive to soap and lather and I can’t use any shower gels. Fingers crossed this is fine with my skin x

Still something weird about TBS Body Butter scents, right? It’s like they cannot translate the fragrance in that formula. Originally I was really psyched about this line since I love almond scents but I’ve smelled this line and it’s not as almond-y as I’d like.

It wouldn’t be TBS if they managed to get the body butter fragrances right. 😉
True, this one isn’t very almondy! But I’m OK with it. Finally a honey fragrance that doesn’t smell like coconut…

I use the Almond and Honey range too and I think it’s Body Shop’s best one! Really notice an improvement on my skin. Good choice! x
