AHAVA Mineral Botanic Velvet Hand Cream [Lemon & Sage]

The scent was a perfect match! It had a lovely lemon grass-like aroma, a blend of lemon and herbs~ㅎㅎ The fragrance was not one commonly found in cosmetics, which I really enjoyed:-) After applying it, my hands felt nourished and glowing~ It's different from the oily, greasy feeling. It absorbs completely without any stickiness, leaving my skin smooth and soft!

The price...? I was able to get it through a group purchase, so it was a bit more affordable for me, but the original price for a hand cream is a bit burdensome, I'd say..? However, I think it would make a great gift! It's an uncommon scent in a high-quality hand cream, and while it's not exactly cheap, the price isn't too expensive for a gift either, so it seems like a good option~!

I'd recommend looking into group purchases ㅎㅎ

-A review by someone with extremely dry, 'crispy' hands- While my face is sensitive to oiliness, my body is seriously dry. Moreover, I have poor circulation in my hands and feet, so my hands are crumbly and rough all year round. I go through a lot of hand creams, but I have certain criteria for hand creams that I consider 'good': 1. It has great moisturizing power, so my hands don't dry out right after applying it. 2. But it's not so greasy that it makes my hands slippery, which can be limiting when using tools. I've tried many hand creams recently, but none of them really stood out to me. This hand cream, however, meets about 90% of my criteria! After applying it, my hands don't feel overly oily or slippery - it just gets absorbed quickly, leaving my hands feeling naturally soft and moisturized. I can't believe I can have hands like this now! The scent is light, like lemon herb, not too strong. It's a pass!

Ah, but why does it have to have these kinds of ingredients when it feels so good? Waaah. Just because it's only for my hands^^ doesn't mean it won't affect my face somehow. My hands can touch my face when I'm on the phone, or through some other pathway. It could still have a negative impact, right..? Once I finish this, I'll have to go on another hand cream journey again.

It's on sale now at the official Ahava Naver Store! The Lemon & Sage one doesn't seem to be a popular pick, but I recommend trying it!
