Would anyone like to hear about a brilliant handcream?

Burts Bees Hand Salve. Amazing stuff. Smells pretty horrid and is like pig fat if you put too much on, but has saved my breaking nails and dry cuticles.

And, it comes in a recyclable aluminium tin.

That's nice but you are wrong.

Burt's Bees lemon cuticle cream and their almond & milk hand cream = the best ever Smile

Sounds lovely - I think "smells horrid" tends to be a good sign as it means it has stuff in that must be there for a reason IYSWIM. Will try it on my manky old witch's hands.

I love neutrogena hand cream it's super duper!

Ooh I'm always on the lookout for decent hand cream! My hands are super dry and cracky so I tend to slather up a few times each day.

One that I used to use was the body shop hemp one. Smelt absolutely revolting, but was quite good for my hands as it was lovely and thick.

O’Keefe is the best

Le Petit Marseillais one. It's about £2 in France and it's replaced my Clarins one. It's brilliant. Non greasy, quickly absorbed and smalls divine.

But O'Keefe's working hands is the best for really parched hands.

Those neutrogena ones do nothing for me. I think it’s something to do with the petroleum content or something.

O'Keeffe's here too.

Nuxe Reve de Mike or Clarins.

Aveeno in the beige tube is brilliant, my hands were so cracked and sore and it really fixed them

DobbyTheHouseElk · 26/04/2019 20:06

No, I used it and it made my hands sore and dry. Must have been allergic to an ingredient. Shame as I loved the smell of it.

Amara123 · 26/04/2019 20:07

The loccitane Shea one in the cream tube..I luff it! Literally the nicest handcream ever, makes my hands look lovely

Lndnmummy · 28/04/2019 09:03

Clarins all the way

MustardScreams · 28/04/2019 09:05

O’Keeffes here also. Only thing that stops my hands cracking.
