My hands are extremely dry from both the cold, winter weather, as well as frequent hand washing; so I purchased the shea butter lotion, with the hope that it would restore much-needed moisture to my skin! And after just one night, I noticed a difference! I applied the lotion before bed, and put on a pair of gloves, so that the lotion could "work its magic" overnight-- and it DID! So I am very pleased, and plan to use it on a daily basis, to keep my skin properly hydrated and soft! :-)
