I have always opted for more expensive body and hand creams over the last few years, however I came across a Polish brand named Ziaja (pronounced jihaya ;-)) and I must admit, I am so impressed by the Ziaja Cocoa Butter Range.
At first glace, I was not too keen on the packaging however this just proves it is what is on the inside that counts as the Cocoa Butter Range is truly amazing!
I have been using the Cocoa Hand Cream and Cocoa Body Butter for the last two weeks and I can honestly admit that I really can feel a difference with my skin. Due to the current unusual heatwave weather, my skin needs more attention than usual, the sun exposure requires more TLC in order to prolong my "tan" and sooth after sun down.

Body Butter
After the shower I apply a layer of the Cocoa Body Butter all over my body but concentrate more on sensitive areas prone to stretchmarks. The body butter contains key ingredients such as Vitamin E & Omega 6 which is vital for long lasting smooth skin care and I can't believe it is only €7.99!
This product is great for nourishing your body after sun exposure. The butter has a lovely texture and dries instantly in comparison to other brands that takes ages to dry, not to mention it smells amazing!!
Hand Cream
I use the Ziaja Cocoa Hand Cream several times a day and work and before going to bed. I was never really the type of person to use a hand cream but I thought I should really start looking after my hands and nails since they are most exposed to the sun all the time, and the I could not turn it down for the price of €2.99. This hand cream is the same range as the body butter but a lot lighter and smoother in texture. It dries almost instantly, feels luxurious and smells delicious! It consists of ingredients such as cocoa butter and canola oil, and only requires using small amounts at a time so its long lasting.
I highly recommend trying out the Ziaja Cocoa Butter range, especially if you are on a budget, available at www.originalbeauty.ie or most stand alone pharmacies in Ireland.
Next I think I will check out the Ziaja sun care lotion range to take on holidays with me in the summer :)
