This is a great lotion bar for your hands. It has the scent of fresh linens right off the clothes line on a brisk summer morning. Solid lotion bars are very effective since there in no water involved in delivering these crucial oils to you skin. You simply have to take the bar our of the tin and rub it in your hand or on your skin for a few seconds. After replacing the bar in the tin you start to rub the affected area until you have worked up a little friction and heat, then you start to apply it in as deep as possible. Viola! It will last a lot longer than the water-based lotion you might currently be using.
