Curel Hand & Cuticle Therapy Review

For some time now, we’ve been testing out several different hand creams and here is another effective and affordable option we have to share. I used Curel’s Hand & Cuticle Therapy ($4.49) for three weeks and was really impressed with how well this lotion improved the look and texture of my hands. Containing Vitamin E, Soy Milk, and Monoi Oil, this cream not helps heal your skin, but simultaneously strengthens your nails. With one application in the morning, even after washing my hands, my skin remained moisturized and non-greasy. I was completely sold after seeing the visible change in my previously weak nails, which were prone to breaking. After just five days, my nails stopped splitting and the tops of my hands were no longer dry and itchy. It’s too bad I didn’t get my hands on this earlier in the winter season (literally!), but I’m thankful I have this in my arsenal for next year. posted by Elizabeth

Kiehl’s Partners with DonorsChoose.org

  Kiehl’s gets kudos for being such a charitable company. Their latest project, which goes until April 15th, focuses on funding nationwide public school science education. Kiehl’s is donating up to $50,000 from the sales of their new Powerful-Strength Line-Reducing Concentrate to DonorsChoose.org. What gives this initiative a twist is that Kiehl’s has included a special sleeve in a limited quantity of the product cartons (sort of like a “golden ticket”) that has a code printed on the inside. The code is worth $50. If you end up buying one of the cartons that has this $50 voucher code, you can go online here, input the code and donate $50 of Kiehl’s money to the classroom of your choice. It’s a win, win for all!
