If you’re anything like me you probably suffer from dry patches of skin, so I was over the moon when I was contacted and asked if I would like to try Nelson’s newly re-launched Calendula Cream, made to gently sooth from the harsh effects everyday life can have on you. Great for hands damaged due to the use of cleaning products, cold weather and busy lifestyles. Made with 100% natural Calendual – part of the Marigold family, which is well known for its skin conditioning properties. Gentle enough for daily use, Calendual cream is paraben free.
I have been trying this one out on my hands mainly around my nails as I get very dry skin around that area and one elbow as I was using something slightly different on one arm to the rest of my body which sadly didn’t keep my skin quite so hydrated.
I found it has a light scent, though I couldn’t really put a finger on what it smelt of, though luckily it wasn’t unpleasant and you really had to sniff to even get a whiff. The cream itself has a soft light texture, that is easily and quickly absorbed, it left behind a slight greasy feeling but that lasted no longer than a few minutes, so you could quickly get back on with what you were doing.
After use your hands feel protected also as though they have been covered in a light film, it’s not that your hands feel tacky or greasy – I can’t think of a way to describe it, other than maybe a silky layer over the skin.
A truly hydrating, soothing and pleasant experience for me and my skin.

Oh I think I need ths
It’s not greasy at all for some reason I was sure it would be and it actually really surprised me when it wasn’t. I hope you get on with it as well as I did I would love to hear your thoughts

Might show this to my hubby he gets terrible dry skin on his hands due to work and nothing seems to do the job. x
I use their antiseptic cream, I was lucky enough to win some last year & was completely won over by it, even better than the big named brand.
Was in not Calendula scent? I love Calendula as a raw ingredient!
I hope it works for him

Oh I might have to give that a try – I love Boots Tea Tree, but always open to trying a nw one;) xx
It probably is – but I’m not sure exactly what that smells like I have to admit and to me there is little scent there, but as with all senses we all smell things differently

Anybody who knows me knows how much I complain about dry skin, so I’m loving this post. I’ve never heard of this company but I’m more than willing to give it a chance if it worked for you. Thanks for sharing!
I hope it works as well for you will keep my fingers crossed
Good luck
