I have a confession: I have a strange obsession with lotion and skin creams. I’m not saying this just to be witty; I really, really love lotion. My infatuation with having soft, moisturized skin started in elementary school and its only gotten stronger in adulthood. So, it’s only natural that when I heard about the O’Keeffe’s Working Hands and Healthy Feet creams, I knew that I had to try them!
I was super-ecstatic when I received some samples in the mail to test and review. Most of my body creams come in dainty packaging with frilly accents in soft, feminine colors, but O’Keeffe’s Working Hands and Healthy Feet creams didn’t. They had a utilitarian-chic look with their vibrant blue and green containers accented by bright orange text and ridging along the periphery of the lid (to help with twisting it open). Don’t be leery of giving it a try because the packaging actually suits the product very well—after all, these products are for people who work with their hands and who want to avoid the plight of dry, cracked heels.
I decided to try O’Keeffe’s Healthy Feet cream, first. Initially I was surprised by the texture of the product. It’s not soft and whipped like most body creams, instead it has more of a waxy texture that turn creamy once you scoop it out of the jar. I do more walking now than ever since I rely on public transit to get to and from work, so my heels were the perfect canvas for this beauty treat.
I was pleased with how the product felt going on. It was creamy and not greasy and it left my feet feeling soft. I applied it to my heels as well as the balls of my feet. I’ll incorporate this into my nightly routine by applying the cream and adding socks prior to bed.
Next up was O’Keeffe’s Working Hands, and let me tell you… I loved this product. I’ve always been a stickler for having soft hands ash-free hands, and finding a product that alleviates dryness without leaving hands greasy has always been somewhat of a challenge for me. (How embarrassing is it to shake someone’s hand with a damp, greasy palm? Yuck!)
O’Keeffe’s Working Hands has a similar wax-to-cream consistency to the Healthy Feet, but it’s not as thick in consistency.
I can honestly say that I like both of these products.
You can find at O’Keeffe’s Working Hands at Bed Bath and Beyond, most hardware stores and pharmacies nationwide. O’Keeffe’s for Healthy Feet is carried at Target and Rite Aid. Both products are $7.99 per jar.
Ciao Bellas,
