Review: Method Olive Leaf Natural Hand Wash

I'm somewhat obsessed with washing my hands. My mum thinks I have a problem, she may be right! :s

I'm forever buying products that keep my hands clean! - I think hand sanitation/clean hands or however you want to put it is an important part of makeup application.

Insert science(y) bit (lol)

But one of my pet peeves with hand washes is when my hands are left ridiculously dry! – Y’know the type of dry that would have someone thinking you've been playing in flour all day! Yeah that kind of dry!

So with this product I was very impressed! Not only does the packaging look pretty and chic, it has a lovely fragrance that lasts a long time, lathers up really well with the smallest amount of product AND doesn't make my hands dry! – Don’t get me wrong you still need to use a hand lotion, but it doesn't leave you with Sahara dessert hands!

Product: 4 out of 5
Packaging: 4.5 out of 5
Quality: 4 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5

Would I buy again? Yes
Price: £3.99

Overall: I really like this product, it’s a nice moisturising hand wash, which is gentle on my hands, rinses clean and doesn’t leave any residue AND leaves my hands feeling soft!

Although the fragrance is slightly on the feminine side, it is faint but lasts a long time. I also like the fact that the nozzle can be locked to prevent spillage. Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you see it) it is not an antibacterial soap, but I can live with that.

The consistency is very creamy - it’s neither sticky nor runny. – At first I was worried that the creaminess would prevent it from lathering up, but it does, and quite well may I add.

Available in 3 different Scents: Almond Flower, Olive Leaf and White Tea.

Where To Buy: Boots, Ocado.com, John Lewis, Waitrose, Sainsbury's, Tesco
