It’s Hard to Let Go

 

 

Remember these cute Watsons Milk Yogurt Hand Cream I got from Watsons Vigan?

I  tried the blue variant first and wrote about it here.

And I finished it! I actually liked it. 

So I was excited to try the strawberry one.

Halfway through the tube, I started noticing that my eyes would itch whenever my hand got near it. So I thought, I should just avoid touching my eyes when my hands have lotion. 

I continued using it for a few days. But then I started noticing that I get rashes on my neck, forehead, and cheeks whenever I use it. 

Okay. I didn’t like that. I’m guessing it’s the scent or another active ingredient. I’m not allergic to strawberries. But the scent is quite intense. 

So I stopped using it. 

It was hard to let go, but I have to. My health and peace of mind are more important. 

I’m just going to give it away. 

Will I try another Watsons brand hand cream? 

Maybe. 

If it’s not strawberry. 

But then again, I still have several tubes of hand creams to finish.
