Why does and cream stop working

[traceybath]

one day.

I have tried masses from clarins to body shop and generally they work brilliantly for a few weeks.

Then one day I put it on and it does nothing. Do I have odd hands or does this happen to everyone?

Should be 'hand' cream.

Have you tried the Body Shop's almond oil hand rescue treatment? Comes in a tub and is sort of solid (bit like Body Butter) and rather good.

I've tried that and the hemp one. Both worked for a while and then suddenly they make no difference.

I must have odd hands.

I know what you mean....but I've found the l'occitaine one pretty good for quite a while now (I have the dry hands one)....have you tried that?

Mine doesn't work, but only because I never remember to put the bloody stuff on

I do find putting it on last thing before I go to bed works best, so I'm not washing it off right away.
