Terra Firma - Lavender & Lilac - Hand Cream


Lilac is not a common scent, so I was really excited to try this!
Let's work our way from the outside in.


The brown transparent tube is cute and the cap prevents leakage.

The cream is really thick, which is nice.
The scent is lovely and not too strong.

But then we get to the effectiveness of the cream itself... it dries out my skin and gives me a serious rash :(

I wanted to like this.

Price: 4/5 ($6 for 100mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 0/5

GC Tooth Mousse Plus

Starting when I was ~15 years old, my lips began to crack and peel and bleed. I had to cover them in Vaseline constantly to prevent pain and further damage. Fast forward to two years ago when I went to a (unfortunately rude) skin specialist who suggested I may be allergic to toothpaste.
I stopped using the minty staple and my lips repaired... I am allergic to toothpaste.

But if I can't use toothpaste, what can I use on my tooty-pegs?

The answer is GC Tooth Mousse Plus

It comes in flavours like vanilla, strawberry, melon, tutti-frutti, and mint (I avoid this last one).
It is activated by saliva and is full of lovely fluoride (don't even bother sending me your 'fluoride is the devil' conspiracy nonsense).

 The only drawback is it is very expensive (~$30 for 40g) but I have no other choice :(

Price: 1/5 ($21.95 for 40g)
Scent: 3.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5
