Burt's Bees Almond Milk Beeswax Hand Creme Review

I just got to the very bottom of this container and realized, OMG I haven't taken pictures or reviewed this yet and it's almost gone! I've had this hand creme for a while, maybe a year and totally forgot got to take pictures so now is the perfect time to blog about it since I've almost finished it! I really like this hand creme but I won't be repurchasing it - keep reading to find out why!

This all-natural hand creme is SUPER RICH! It is suppose to be for the driest of hands...hands exposed to heat, cold, dirt and harsh detergents that are rough and dry. It contains Sweet Almond Oil, Beeswax and Vitamin E to hydrate and shield your skin. I love that ingredients are 100% natural! This also smells sooooo good, a strong nutty almond scent that I LOVE! It is also useful for elbows, knees and feet! When I say this creme is rich I mean it! This is a super emollient, it is extremely moisturizing but there is one down fall...
The only reason I don't like this creme is because it leaves your hands VERY greasy - not necessarily in a bad way because it IS moisturizing. But basically you can't touch or do anything after putting this on because the residue lasts a long time on your hands (forget using a touch screen), you have to sit there and let it sink into your skin. So I only use this at night before bed. I won't repurchasing it just because it leaves my hands very greasy and I don't need something this heavy. The price is reasonable, around $9 for 2 oz for a good quality hand creme. I would only recommend this if your hand are extremely dry and you don't mind them feeling greasy for a little while after applying.

So what's your favorite hand cream? I need to buy a new since this one is pactically done! Thanks for reading :)
