Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie hand cream review

Why we love it: You may not apply hand cream religiously, but we're willing to bet that once the skin on your hands looks like sandpaper, you'll wish you had a tube of hand cream with you. With dry winter weather on the horizon, why risk it? Store this moisturizing hand cream in your purse for easy access on the go. It is formulated with rich ingredients such as sunflower seed, coconut and soybean oils to help nourish and soothe the skin, leaving it as smooth as a baby's butt. Plus, no silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil, or artificial colors. In addition to the rich texture of the cream, we just can't get enough of the warm, musky scent. No wonder it has been the brand's most popular fragrance since 1994.

Recommended for: All skin types.  Use: Apply a small amount of hand cream and massage your hands until completely absorbed. Reapply as needed throughout the day.

Review of Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie Cleansing Gel

Why we love it: This ultra-gentle, sulfate-free body wash formula contains rich, antioxidant-rich ingredients including sunflower seed oil, coconut oil, castor oil, soybean oil, and aloe leaf. What it does not contain are silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil and artificial colors. Another reason we love this cleansing gel? It works as both a body wash and a bubble bath. After a long day, a relaxing bath with the sweet and delicious scent of this cleansing gel sounds just right.

Recommended for: All skin types. Use: In the shower, squeeze a small amount of cleansing gel onto a damp washcloth or sponge and lather. Then gently massage the formula onto the skin and rinse with warm water. To use in the bath, pour two to three capsules under running water to create a soothing spa scent. Don't forget to apply our Signature Almond Cookie Body Butter after your shower or bath!

Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie Body Butter Review

Why we love it: Speaking of body butter, this vitamin-rich blend is one of the brand's most popular purchases. Infused with Sweet Almond, Coconut, Sunflower Seed, Soybean and Achiot Seed oils, the formula hydrates skin for a hydrated feeling. Shea butter, cocoa butter and beeswax are also present. Don't look for silicones, parabens, petroleum, mineral oil or artificial colors in the formula - you won't find them. What will you find? Smooth, silky soft and healthier looking skin. A win-win. I applied the body butter after my shower and it immediately absorbed into my skin to provide deep hydration. No stickiness or greasy feeling remains! 

Recommended for: Dry to very dry skin type. Use: After a bath or shower, apply this body butter to damp skin. Feel free to apply a little extra body balm to rougher skin areas like knees or elbows.

Review of Carol's Daughter Almond Cookie Dry Oil Body Spray

Why we love it: Giving your skin a natural glow has never been easier. Infused with ingredients such as sunflower seed, coconut, jojoba, grapeseed and soybean oils, this moisturizing and fragrant oil can hydrate skin and give it a gorgeous glow. At first, I was worried about whether this body spray would leave my skin slimy and oily. I am happy to report that the spray absorbed immediately. Like I didn't wear anything at all.

Recommended for: All skin types. Use: Spray the elixir all over your body and massage into skin for added moisture and fragrance. Reapply anytime throughout the day to maintain a healthy glow or refresh your scent.

Recommended for: Anyone and everyone.  Use: Spray the fragrance directly onto the neck and other pulse points as often as desired. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
