Jericho - Hand & Body Lotion

This is a lotion with 'Dead Sea Minerals', a popular beauty product ingredient.

The scent is mildly marine and faint.

It develops a 'watery' feel when you rub it in, like most lotions do, which I personally don't like. 
It makes me feel like is less effective.

After applied, a slight greasy residue stays on the surface of the skin.

This is not a magic product, but if you have it, it wont upset delicate skin.

Price: 2/5 ($29.95 for 150mL)
Scent: 3/5
Effectiveness: 2/5

Thursday Plantation - Tea Tree Hand & Body Lotion

Like Toula's father in 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' who thinks Windex is a panacea, my alleged father thinks tea tree oil cures all.

I usually just tell him that he expects too much of a simple oil and leave it at that.

Then recently I got a little bit of a dry patch on my leg and figured why not use this for a test?

The Thursday Plantation hand and body lotion smells strongly of tea tree oil, but also contains a number of other botanical extracts as well, including witch hazel, macadamia and honeysuckle.
It is a good viscosity for a lotion as well.

I put it on my dry skin for three days and... It tore my skin to shreads! :(
It became red, itchy, weeping and sore.

I think the problem may be that this contains too much of the oil... and that the oil is NOT the magical cure-all you think it is, father!

A better treatment for dry skin/burns/eczema:

Soooo much better!

Price: 3.5/5 (RRP $13.30 for 200mL)
Scent: 1/5 (I think it is stinky)
Effectiveness: 0/5
