AIBU to ask for your hand cream recommendations please

[HerMajestyTheQuern]

I asked SIL what she’d like for her birthday. Handcream was the reply, not something I buy myself. So I’d love your recommendations, nothing crazy expensive, but up to £20 budget.

Woriing hands

Another vote for l'occitanne 20% Shea Butter Hand Cream. See if you can order online as you can normally get a few extra samples free that way; sometimes also a gift bag

Another vote for the L'occitane Shea. Absolutely stellar stuff.

Cheap, but it just works. I've tried all sorts of expensive hand creams, but nothing works as well as this.

Definitely L'occitane.

I love the Neal's Yard garden mint and bergamot. I'm not a fan of mint, really, but this isn't very minty. It reminds me of sherbet.

L'Occitane 100%

Body Shop Hemp or Crabtree and Evelyn Gardener's Hand Cream.

I don't like the smell of L'Occitane

I used to always buy the L'Occitane ones but I found this in M&S and much prefer it. It smells absolutely amazing and is really moisturising. It's also much cheaper than L'Occitane (a bargainous £4!) so you could buy some of the matching products to go with it..?

Cheap as chips, so probably not "gifty", but this is amazing

If you want something more organic/natural that’s really effective, I recommend Oway Remedy Hand Balm. You don’t need a lot and it works wonderfully.

I agree with this for a luxury gift choice.

I'm wondering if she's asked for hand cream, does she have dry hands, that needs proper moisture? If so then the body shop hemp cream, rather than a luxury/smells devine, one.

Emphatically recommending Origins Ginger hand cream. It's £20 and absolutely beautiful.

I never spend that much on things like hand creams but I treated myself after DC1 was born and my hands were ravaged and I tested about 20 before choosing that one.

I love it so much that my lovely MIL now buys me one for birthdays and Christmas and I've not been without for 4 years.

Thanks all for the advice 😀a trip to the Trafford centre is now on the to do list, just seen they have a kiehls too!

If she likes sandalwood then Ayumi sandalwood and cocoa butter face cream takes some beating, its around a fiver.

Diprobase.

Margaret Dabbs - the hand serum and the lotion.

I don’t have beautiful hands but the skin looks amazing.

i tried lots.
e45 fast absorving daily lotion is very good.

L'Occitane has lots of different smells

Another vote for the Body Shop here. The Hemp or the Almond are both fabulous.

Have tried L’Occitane in the past, but after their appalling stand over Russia, I won’t give them my money

Another vote for L’Occitane. My favorite one is Rose 4 reines. In the past I loved the Body Shop Moringa handcream but I’ve never forgiven them for throw JK under the bus.

Also TK Maxx often has lovely handcreams and so cheap you’ll have some budget left to add in some great bar soap with your gift.

I really like caudalie, smells amazing and not greasy
