Simple Luxuries Lotion Bar



With Spring in firmly entrenched in our northern climate, I find I am joyfully spending more and more time outside. From digging out lawn furniture to digging in the garden, my  poor hands take a real beating. I have been a Registered Nurse for many years.. ( notice I am purposely leaving out the number!) and have developed the habit of constantly washing and/or sanitizing my hands.

With all this washing and drying and using alcohol based sanitizers,  the effects on my skin is obvious. Now I don't know about you, but I don't carry a bulky bottle of liquid lotion in my pocket. BUT.... I have recently tried a marvelous new product from Simple Luxuries that changes how I use hand protection!!

These  delightful lotion bars are made from 4 simple ingredients- Grapeseed Oil, Beeswax, Shea Butter and Vitamin E! How's that for NATURAL!!   They come in  compact roll up tubes so there is never a concern of  dripping on your favorite shirt or dress or spilling in your pocket or purse.

As an added bonus you can choose one of several natural scents, but I have to admit that my two favs  are Lavender Patchouli and Forbidden Fruit. If scents aren't your thing, then there is a Pure (unscented) Lotion Bar.

I have found that one or two "swipes" on the palm of my hand is all it takes. I then rub my hands together for smooth moisturized skin. 

Check out the other inviting scents and big array of products designed to pamper and please you from Simple Luxuries.

  2. I have a problem with dry skin on my hands, water here is very hard, but I manage with Avon creams (I sell them after all) although my very favourite has been withdrawn. The ones you describe sound delightful though.

    1. I like the idea that it is an effective moisturizer without the mess of a cream. Thanks for your comment, Sarah!

  4. We tried them and they are really soft on the hands and the smell is so nice, too. I love the no drip!

  5. I bought a similar bar of soap at our local food co-op recently. It seemed expensive at the time, but it has lasted forever and feels so good on my hands after gardening.

  6. My hands had really suffered recently and I was just about desperate enough to visit a doctor, 'cause absolutely nothing I tried had worked in over a week. My hands were so dry they'd crack and bled, and that was far from normal for my skin. My hubs had a hemp based moisturizer that did the trick beautifully, but the sent wasn't something I ever got used to. I've got to check Simple Luxuries out as I'd love to find something that works that doesn't have too funky of a smell, lol.
