Hand cream

There was a long thread a while back about handcream. Can't remember which one came up top but I seem to think Clarins and The Body Shop ones were popular.

I thought I'd let people know that I've just bought the Boots protect and Perfect one and am really impressed. It's light and non-greasy and so far seems to be working well.

Has anybody else tried it?

And it was £5 off with a voucher too.

Lol at Blue Nivea - my lovely nanna always used to have a pot of that in the house and the smell always reminds me of her.

MrsWoolf - I think it's new.

I was thinking of getting that hand cream with my voucher, as I need one soon.

I normally use the body shop one (almond one) and it's good.

Although someone bought this for me once and it is the best hand-cream I have ever used.

love body shop almond one and the hemp hand protector.

janeite · 27/08/2008 22:43

This one doesn't smell though, so gets my vote for that as well.

I'm still sold on the Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector.

lol Califray - that's a whole lotta Nivea.

expatinscotland · 27/08/2008 22:48

Body Shop Hemp one.

janeite · 27/08/2008 22:48

But why do you need TWO pots on your desk? One for each hand?

Aveda Hand Relief is nice, despite the trying- a-bit-too-hard-to-be-funny name.

whatdayisit · 27/08/2008 22:56

Best hand cream by far is a great big tub of Aqueous cream (c. £1.50?) I have never had better hands than when I was covering DS2 in it 4 times a day for his eczema. Didn't help the eczema, but worked wonders on my hands.

But, I also love Blue Nivea. It is slightly quicker to rub in and the smell reminds me of holidays (best ever treatment for sun burn )

merrygoround · 27/08/2008 22:56

Crabtree and Evelyn do a two stage cream - first a sandpapery one and then a creamy one - it's lovely and even my disgustingly haggard hands look better for it.

JackieNo · 27/08/2008 23:34

I really don't like the smell of aqueous cream.

MrsMattie · 27/08/2008 23:45

Aveda's comically named 'Hand Relief' is the best hand cream ever

TsarChasm · 27/08/2008 23:48

Rofl...Imagine asking for some Hand Relief in the shop

rofl- I am like you for Nivea Califrau!
But I use it for my poor dried out lips, not hands! Multiple pots lurking all over my house, in my handbag, desk etc
I use Clarins for hands- it really is the best one ever!

whooosh · 28/08/2008 09:47

I have discovered the Clinique moisture therapy hand cream and I am completely bowled over by it.
Not cheap however....find a friend with some and try it.That's how I cam accross it

nangnangnang · 28/08/2008 11:12

Agree about Clinique - v impressive.

But why oh why is it so difficult to get handcream with SPF? Soft and dewy's no good to me if my hands are covered in liver spots.
