The Body Shop have had some amazing launches over the last 12 months. Now it is time for another. Over the last year, we have all been made more than aware of the important of washing our hands. It seems an odd thing to have to teach people and remind them constantly to do, but needs must. With the constant need for hand washing and sanitising, come further issues of dry and irritated hands for some and thus the need for hand cream and other lotions and potions for some TLC.
To help with all of the above, The Body Shop has launched a brand new Lemon purify and protect routine which is made up of three simple steps - antibacterial, intense cleanse and then finally care & perfect. The entire range is made using Lemon essential oil, an ingredient which is known for its purifying properties and of course its notable scent.
The first stage of The Body Shop Purify and Protect routine starts with the antibacterial stage, for this we have the Lemon Cleansing Antibacterial Hand Sanitizer which, is sold in either a handbag sized 100ml or a bigger 250ml size.
Incredibly zesty in scent, this hand sanitizer is not only designed to keep your hands clean and germ free it also keeps them smelling clean too. Perfect for use when there is no soap to hand, this sanitizer is made up of almost 70% alcohol to help protect against germs and viruses.
The second product for step two is the Intense Cleanse stage which features three different products - a hair and body wash, a face wash or the product I am sharing with you today, the Lemon Purifying hand wash.
Designed to keep your hands fresh throughout the day, this hand wash is enriched with natural lemon essential oil which is known for its purifying properties, it helps wash away bacteria and impurities, leaving hands feeling squeaky clean. It thankfully comes packaged in a pump action, recyclable, bottle which makes dispensing the hand wash simple and straightforward, with one pump being enough to clean your hands.
For the third stage, which is known as the Care & Protect stage, there is two products - the Lemon Caring & Purifying Hair Mist or the product I am sharing, which is the Lemon Protecting Hand & Body Lotion.
This lotion smells absolutely incredible, think the fresh scent of freshly squeezed lemon but with added sweetness. Enriched with natural lemon essential oil known for its purifying properties, it leaves skin feeling protected and rehydrated after frequent washing, for which there is also the inclusion of both Shea Butter and Olive Oil.
The lotion itself isn't too thick a texture, so once on the skin it begins to absorb on contact, with very little need for a lot of massaging into the hands and body. Once it has absorbed, there is no greasy film or residue on the skin, but what you are left with is the tangy scent of lemon, which I just adore.
This Purify and Protect collection is on sale right now* at the Body Shop with prices starting at just £6 and you can find it right here.
