I've never really used it, but as I'm getting a bit older I'd like to start taking care of my hands a bit more. So that's it really, I'd like some advice a to which one to get.
Thanks Smile

I absolutely love the molton brown pink peppercorn at the moment, it's the smell that does it for me though.

Superdrug do one in a blue tube, it's called hand therapy-concentrated hand balm, it's cheap and amazing, I have am a florist so my hands take a beating at work and this really soothes and moisturises-I love it!

L'Occitane without a doubt.

Oh sorry, the why: it lasts for AGES, is really thick but sinks in immediately, fantastic fragrances, and the clincher: it keeps my eczema at bay in the winter when my hands can get so dry from the central heating they bleed.

Body Shop almond hand and nail cream - does lovely things for my nails!

Aveeno hand cream. Not greasy and stops my knuckles bleeding in the winter.

Neutrogena Norwegian formula is amazing. One little dab and your hands are like silk and it sisnks in straight away. Its concentrated so a tube lasts months and you can get it almost everywhere.

Clinique

Cath Kidstons ones, smell lovely and arent greasy.

I find handcreams generaaly are a bit too light. Aveeno oat body moisturiser or Palmers Coco butter are my staples for hand care.

Both are luxurious and the Aveeno is not scented. Handy when you don't want a piece of garlic bread you've just picked up smelling of rose or geranium or whatever... Smile

I have tried handcream but i just cant stand the feel of it on my hands. It just totally annoys me. So i dont bother with it.

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 29/09/2014 22:37

L'Occitane Shea Butter or Lush Helping Hands.

I like the smell of the Body Shop Almond one but don't think it's a great handcream, although the one in the tub is better than the tube one. The hemp does nothing for my hands, and the rose one is all watery.

Neutrogena is amazing for cracked hands.

Stings when it goes on (feels like being jabbed with many pins and needles).

But that wears off after a few minutes and the best day it's amazing!
