I LOVED getting this from my husband. Each of the hand products truly work, and the gloves are so cute with the bees on them. I am very happy with this kit and like all the products.
This is the Burt's Bees kit that got me started on buying more of their products many years ago. The gloves fit well even if you have long nails. Most people I know rave about the citrus cuticle gel and carry the smaller tin in their pocket, purse, or backpacking. I have so many products, I forget to use it as often as I should. Because I work with papers, artwork, and fabrics, I didn't like the feel of the banana handcream, but it worked great for feet and dry skin on my shins. It would be a nice "spa-like" pampering gift for wife, girlfriend, new mom, an elderly person, or someone in hospital or home recovering from an illness to get them into a feel-good habit.
This is a great little gift, but I would have liked to get the cute bee gloves shown in the picture. Instead I got some not so cute yellow gloves. The bee gloves would have made this the perfect gift!
I am a nurse whose hands are exposed to excessive washing and alchohol sanitizers which tend to chap my hands frequently. These products really mosturize my hands and gets rid of the red, chapped, rough areas. The only problem I have found, is that they smell so great that my dogs try to lick it off my hands everytime I am around them!! I love the scents of lemon, almond and relaxing lavendar.
I wash my hands often becuase I have a baby and at work I use the chalk board a lot. Both these activities take a lot of moisture from my hands. This reparir kit does wonders for my hands. The Banana Creme is good, too for rough spots, I've used it on my baby's elbows from time to time
I recieved this gift as a Christmas present in 2008, it's around one year later and I still use it! It's without a doubt the best hand kit I have ever used. I'm in love with the cuticle cream and hand cream. I use the cuticle cream once in the morning and at night, and use the hand cream once at night.
My husband bought me the kit for my birthday and I love it! I'm not sure why, but mine came with the Almond Milk Hand Creme instead of the Beeswax & Banana. I am anxious to try the Beeswax & Banana. I no longer have cracked dry hands! This stuff works awesome. Woo hoo!! Yea Burt's Bees!
Last winter my hands were raw, cracked, and sore to the point that I told my husband I wanted "new hands" for Christmas. He got this kit for me and I saw dramatic improvement in just a few nights of use. I have purchased full-sized products to use since then and found the gloves to be comfortable for overnight use. I'm a teacher and parent of small children, so I wash my hands almost constantly. I also spend a lot of time outdoors in my free time and the weather here can be harsh. This kit truly saved me from very dry, painful winter hands! It works!
I bought the hand repair kit because my hands were, well, in need of repair! It's a great deal (better than buying everything separately), and my hands are well on their way to be silky smooth!
My dad burned his hand pretty badly on a tea kettle a few years back and I let him use my hand repair kit. He loved it! His hand healed very quickly and he was able to use them again!
I absolutely loved this kit. The gloves are comfortable and easy to wear all night long. They don't make my hands feel hot or clammy. The shea butter repair creme was wonderful. I used to get dry chapped hands all winter long. I hated using greasy ointments only to have to reapply them mid day and make a mess. This kit isn't greasy and it keeps my hands moisturized all day long.
Pros: small sizes are nice to decide if you like it, the gloves have a cute patteren
I worked in an environment where I had my hands is soapy water and sanitizer for hours a day and then on top of that I was having to wash my hands several times an hour, so needless to say my hands were like parchment. My cuticles were always split and the tips of my fingers were like sandpaper. I received this kit as a gift from a family member and it made such a difference for my hands. After a few nights of moisturizing my hands and then wearing the gloves to bed I could see quite a difference and my hands were not dry anymore.
