Skin Food Coconut Milk Rich Hand Cream
I bought this in Korea, December 2010. As it was the middle
of winter and South Korea was freaking cold, so much that I almost froze my
toes off while waiting for the bus, my hands were naturally dehydrated and in
much need of moisturization. So while heading to a shopping district, I passed
by a Skin Food shop and in the midst of browsing the aisles, came across the
hand cream section. The sales assistant (I am shocked by how many sales
assistants in Korea can speak Chinese!) recommended this as the cream that most
gals bought in winter. So I purchased it, lo and behold…
It’s a thick cream that wouldn’t slide off your skin unlike
some other creams. It has quite a strong fragrance and you only need a little
to make your hands feel well moisturized. There is a slight greasy feel to it
that I don’t appreciate, but I guess it’s because I’m using it in humid
Singapore which isn’t really the right place to use it, since it’s hand cream
for Winter. There is also quite a strong perfumed scent, while not unpleasant, is not something I look forward to smelling either.
During the days I spent in Korea, thanks to this cream, my
hands did not peel or crack so it did its job; however, I don’t appreciate the
smell or the thickness of it here in Singapre, so I’m giving it a solid:
3/5 – I don’t regret purchasing it, but I’m not going to buy
it again
Love,
Tabby
