Needful Things - Dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer & Love Beauty And Planet Hand Cream

 

I feel like in the last year I've become a real connoisseur of hand sanitizers and to be honest, most of them are really kind of terrible - they smell bad and they dry out my hands but since avoiding them isn't really an option, I'm happy to have found one that smells and feels great!

 

Dove Nourishing Hand Sanitizer - 236ml - $6.47 - in Deep Moisture or Shea Butter & Warm Vanilla, 59ml - $3.47 - in Deep Moisture - uses a breakthrough formula containing soybean oil, echium seed oil and stearic acid to deliver skin nourishment and moisturization, to help mitigate alcohol’s drying effect and improve skin hydration without compromising antibacterial efficacy.

And while I don't feel like all the moisture has been sucked out of my hands like with other sanitizers I still enjoy a bit of hand cream throughout the day...

and I love mini sized ones that I can tuck away anywhere and everywhere!

Love Beauty & Planet Smooth & Serene Shampoo and Conditioner

Love Beauty & Planet Smooth & Serene Shampoo and Conditioner - 400ml - $12.99 - boosts moisture and adds nourishment to smooth out hair with a 100% vegan formula infused with argan oil - sourced from a women's co-operative of local Berber women along with ethically sourced French lavender and free of colourants, silicones and parabens.

The shampoo delivers a nourishing cleanse that gently removes dirt while lightly moisturizing and infusing your hair with a decadent scent of French lavender.

After which the conditioner seals moisture into hair to keep frizz at bay for enviably smooth, glossy hair. It also has fast-rinse technology for light weight conditioning which also saves water since the conditioner breaks down faster.

The wonderful scent comes partly from French lavender, grown using the traditional ‘prefane’ technique - the lavender is cut by hand and left to dry in the fields for 2-3 days - adding to the unique fragrance of soft, floral notes balanced with slightly fruity overtures that are rounded out by sweet balsamic notes.

Available at drug and mass retailers across Canada.
