I dunno. Was probably thinking a bit more upmarket than TBS though!

I'd also recommend Molton Brown - was used by all the nurses in NICU when my baby was there as that hospital hand wash and gel destroys hands.

I bought the nurses 3 bottles of the stuff when we were discharged.

I love L'Occitane shea butter it is very rich and softening and a lovely treat linky

Oooh I've just looked at L'Occitane. I can smell it already...

Thanks all, that should be enough to be going along with.

(You're very fast btw) xx

And just looked at creme de la mer. Never heard of it before. But man, that IS special! Perhaps a bit out of my range, though...

I'm a hand cream junkie, and the Clarins is my favourite. Has a particular smell though, which may not be to everyone's fancy.

creme brulee hand cream by laura mercier smells sooo yummy!! It's £12 and very very good in my opinion.

personally, I fond the L'occitane a bit sticky.
I prefer Clarins.

Jurlique Rose hand cream is definitely the nicest I've ever used and I've used 'em all!

Clarins, L'Occitane or Cath Kidston (the rose one). TBS almond one that comes in a tub is quite good too.

How about something from Neals Yard Remedies? You can buy online if there isn't a store/concession in your town. THey are beautiful and even nicer than L"Occitane imo

Just to chav it up, I'm going to say Dove.

How knowledgeable you all are. I personally use a most excellent one from Lush, but my mum hates them, so no point in getting her that one.

Thanks for your advice xx
