This is a product that you need for your feet and hands to pamper yourself. It is a very good product. It is spa quality and you see a huge difference in your skin immediately. I found this product on Makeup Alley and tried it.This is a must have.

I never would have ever tried this product if it weren't for a friend that introduced me to the awesome product. I instantly noticed a huge difference the first time I used this and now I'm hooked. I use it two to three times a week incorporated into my bedtime routine. My hands feel so soft and youthful again. I have even used it on my feet and elbows with success. Great investment and worth the money for me.

UPDATE: Still using and loving this product. I just purchased the Margarita version recently released. It smells so yummy and delicious!

I love this product, it's the only one that works, one of few that work. Love this and would highly recommend it to anyone. Feels great, too.

Stuff works really well, and men LOVE this stuff! Works way better when used with Extreme Hand Repair from beauticontrol. By itself, my hands still tend to get dry after a day or 2. I may try to wrap my hands with plastic and gloves to assist in the oil absorption.

Also love love the brown sugar instant manicure. However it was a promotional and not available for retail sale.

This was given to me as a gift, and I am pleasantly surprised that I really like it. I use it 3x a week on my hands and 1x a week on my feet and I can really see and feel the difference. Wish they'd figure out a better way to package it, cause it is messy.

This is a nice scrub for hands to keep them soft. It does tend to be a bit on the oily side (be VERY careful if using it on feet - VERY slippery!). It has a nice spearminty scent which I really love. I like to use this about every other manicure when I don't want to go the whole route with the cuticle remover, nail brush, etc.

I love this product! I am fairly new to the beauticontrol line and was introduced to this amazing little product at a recent spa party. It appeared to be a pretty basic salt scrub, in a cute little 10-oz jar. However, I was pretty impressed with how soft and silky this made my hands, especially since 2-3 days later, my hands were still super-soft. I really enjoy this product and will gladly continue to repurchase it!!!

This stuff is pretty fabulous immediately after applying and leaves my hands really soft and moisturized. My only complaint is that the effects don’t seem to last for me beyond a few hand-washings. I have to use it pretty regularly for them to stick with me, and at this price, that’s hard to do. It gets a 5 rating on packaging for being recyclable plastic.

This stuff is awesome! I usually ignore my hands but this made them so smooth and soft. I can't wait to try this on my feet. I think it is a bit pricey but a little goes a long way.

Ok..here's the deal..I'm a stay-at-home mom of three and my oldest son is 5y old..I do A LOT of cleaning chores around the house. My hands were a mess until I found this product. I use it at least two or three times a week before bedtime and follow it with the Alpha Hydroxy lotion of the same brand. Ahhhh..what a difference does it make!!!! Price is a little steep (US $28 for a jar...but I've had mine for about 6 months) and you have to be careful storing it or the oil might spill,(that's why I gave it a 3 for packaging). Overall, I have decent looking hands, nails and cuticles (even w/o polish) and a nice little excuse to pamper myself ;).

Love, love, love this scrub. I use it on my hands, elbows and feet. It makes everything soo soft. I can extend pedicures by two weeks using this and don't even need manicures. I am using the sugar cookie one and love how it smells, it makes me happy. The only problem I see is the packaging, but I don't know how that could be remedied considering that it is a scrub. Just be careful opening the jar.

I'm new to this line and I ordered a few items and just got them yesterday. This stuff is awesome! My only complaint (if it is) - is that I don't really care for the scent (I bought the Herbal Serenity one). That's why I took one lippie off. From the web, I can only found 2 of these, another one is their limited Sugar Cookie edition. The difference between the two (I just noticed) - is the Sugar Cookie scrub is using 'sugar' - and the Herbal Serenity one is using 'salt'. Anyway - this stuff works really well! I even used it for my feet and it works just as well! My hands are so soft and smooth! :) Now I'm thinking to try the Sugar Cookie sugar scrub - just to find out the difference (and the fact that I might like the scent better than this one) - but one thing for sure, the salt in this scrub works perfectly. They're very fine - not coarse at all. I think I started to like Beauticontrol line! :)

I like the original version of this--it's pepperminty herbal scented and soo refreshing. I have yet to try the other scents but I'm dying to do so. That being said, this product is amazingly fantastic. It works well as a hand scrub....or you can use it as a foot scrub...or, if you're careful you can use it as an allover body scrub if you're feeling dry and need some exfoliating and moisture. Mind you, be very careful as this can leave your shower floor very slippery, but oh boy was it invigorating!! And my whole body was incredibly soft and moisturized afterward. In fact, I think I'm low on this and need to buy some more!! Def. HG item.

I have the Christmas version, Sugar Cookie. It smells like vanilla, Soooooo YUMMY. Also, its got red and green dots mixed into the white salt, its very festive. I love this stuff because makes your hands feel so smooth and soft. Almost don't want to use it because someday I'll be out of this limited edition version of Show of Hands. hmmmm Cookies.........

LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff!!! It is a full manicure in one step!!!! And when you use the Extreme Repair hand lotion with this, it has a 3 memory wash. Which means you can wash your hands up to 3 times and it still stays on keeps on working!!!

Wonderful product!!!!

I'm sure there are different incantations of this product everywhere, and for varying prices, and maybe you can even make your own scrub in your kitchen. However I think you get what you pay for, and BC's Instant Manicure IS really fabulous. I can't stand having greasy hands and trying to work, so my hands tend to get a little dry. Ok, really dry. Like crack-and-bleed dry. A little pot was left in a bathroom (for sampling) and I decided to try it. Well, guess what. I was sold. My hands were NOT greasy but they were soft. And all those little jagged cuticles and cracked skin started to disappear. I never treat myself to real manicures because it's too much time and money. However, now that I've found this, I think my little hands will be just fine.

This stuff is great!! It's an instant manicure!! Contains dead sea salt and makes your hands feel really smooth.. It is very expensive at $26 a tub but I can see it lasting a good 6 months or more! My only complaint is that the pink one smells like nail polish remover! Gross!! My friend sells Beauticontrol and all the products seem really good! I am going to try more!

UPDATE: This product now comes in honey and it smells oh so delicious!!!

I purchased this from a beauticontrol party at Christmas time so they had a discount for the season. Fortunately I didnt have to pay any shipping and handling so I paid about $29CDN for it. Regularly its over $35 I think CDN. The price is a bit steep I think. But overall, this product is good. I like how my hands feel after. I purchased it mainly to help with my dry cuticles and the tendency for my hands to get dry at the fingertips. The effects of this scrub are not long lasting (ie lasts one day) and so therefore it says you need to use it daily at least. I like to use it on my feet and elbows to get rid of rough skin. Its excellent exfoliator thats for sure. Since the package is fairly good size I can't see myself purchasing this more than once. I only use about half a tsp of this product evey time I use it. Oh and the packagin kinda sucks. You have to keep it in the ziplock baggy it comes in since the lid isnt leak proof and the oil can leak out!

I love this product. It leaves my hands and feet feeling really soft... like I just had a mani/pedicure but it only takes seconds to get that feeling.
