Sasa used to be one of my favorite beauty stores until I became a natural skin care convert. So I’ve not been visiting the store for awhile until recently, when I wanted to replenish some nail care products. I spotted this Natio Spa Heavenly Hand Cream and decided to give it a try as I was in the market for an affordable and effective hand cream that is handy enough to carry around.

I have always wanted to try Burt’s Bees Hand Salve but wasn’t so keen to get the full size. So I was happy to find a smaller size at 0.30 oz available at Sephora in ION Orchard for S$6 only. Before buying this product, I had the misconception that this product is like a hand cream but I realized that it is not. It is actually an ointment!

I was hoping to pick up the bigger version of the Lavera Basis Sensitiv Handcreme  but it was out of stock and in the end I settled on the Lavera Neutral Intensiv Handcreme as it was going at S$7 instead of the usual S$29.  I didn’t quite like the texture on first contact because it’s really very rich and somewhat sticky but I figured it’ll make an intensive night cream as the name implies.
