Looking for a nice moisturising hand cream, floral scnet preferably and under £10. Had a wee browse in Harvey Nichols - purely because it is close to work - thinking they might have something a little bit nicer, even if I had to get a miniature for the price (it's just to keep at work) but the cheapest they had was £25....... any recs?

Loccitane do some nice ones as do Molton Brown , ds bought me a set for mother’s day and the lily of the valley one is particularly nice .

Crabtree and Evelyn Hand Therapy is my favourite. Lots of different scents but I like Citron best.

Weleda Pomegranate Hand Cream is gorgeous and works wonders. Not full of parabens and chemicals either. Around £10.

Luz Earle hand cream is really nice too.

The Wuta Kamille hand cream is fantastic, works so well and smells like camomile/floral tea. Its so cheap too, around £3 for a big tube.

Otherwise if you like Korean Beauty products Tonymoly do a peach hand cream in a pot shaped like a peach which smells like fresh peaches. It makes your hands so silky too. Last time I ordered some online it was £2.50.

I like the L'Occitane ones too. The 30ml ones are about £8 I think - the rose ones are nice but there are a few other florals as well.

Neal's Yard do some lovely scents too - Bee Lovely is my favourite but orange and geranium is also nice. It's a while since I bought them but maybe £10 for the 50ml size. The glass bottles with pump are more expensive but better value.

Woods of Windsor do a lovely Lily of the Valley hand cream.
Also think M&S worth a look.
I personally love the Next hand creams.

Ooh, hand creams! My Mastermind specialist subject!

Crabtree and Evelyn Avocado, Citron or Gardeners, Weleda Pomegranate, Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector all good.

Not so keen on L'Occitane, not thick enough for me, used to love Soap and Glory Hand Food but that seems to be thinner now? Nivea, Dove, sanctuary, all too thin, but Neurtogena too thick and hard to rub in.

I am always looking for the holy grail of hand creams!

Thanks guys! I wandered into The Body Shop at lunch time as it is 2 minutes from my work and got their rose hand cream, in the small size to try. Smells divine if like me you like those kind of floral scents :)

Palmers Coconut hand cream is lovely.
Cheap as chips. Gorgeous scent and works well.

Aveeno hand cream is excellent for proper dry hands but no scent. I love the Neals Yard "Bee Lovely" one and origins make a difference one, but they're both a bit over £10. Body shop hand cream is free with Marie Claire this month 😀

The Body Shop's Rose Hand cream is one of my all time faves!

Recommended in the Guardian by Sali Hughes and I love it:

Neutrogena hydro boost hand gel cream. Not thick like their other ones.

Sali Hughes recommended the Netrogena Hydro Boost body lotion too. I'm trying it at the moment. It's nice.
