Here you go Sam, What hand creams do people use?

[ed_blackadder_1]

I use Nivea coco butter hand cream, it smells lovely.

When my son was little I had really bad hands from using the bottle steriliser fluid and used something in a little round yellow pot, and it was brilliant, I can't remember what it was called though, it was recommended by the health visiter.

lol. Basting a chuck came into mind when you first said it but I didn't like to say, so it's nice to hear I'm not the only one with a strange sense of humour, lol.

Ooooh clever lady I'm afraid that's something I hate doing !.

I used to always use the Norwegian formula one (cos I love Norwegians, lol)
but more recently I have used Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, though why they call it a cream is beyond me!! It is gooey, like posh vaseline. And so, it's too shiny for daytimes but I sometimes use it as a rescue attempt when my hands get horridly dry.

However, I have discovered something else now, a roll-on breathable masque that works overnight. It really works well on hands, but it's slightly more expensive than using Elizabeth Arden. So I alternate and my hands are looking good.

Either Faith in Nature hand cream or Weleda Skin Food, both natural and lovely:-)

Well, my thanks to all who recommended the Udderly hand cream.  I ordered the hand and body lotion with Aloe Vera and Vitamin E and it came yesterday.

I have used it this morning and my hands were a right mess, from gardening and painting and it's magic     No more of the French one in this house

It was me Carol. It's pretty good isn't it. Not got any myself at the moment but I will have to order some now gardening weather is apon us. I find soap very drying on the hands. So glad you like it.

Maggie, you made me chuckle about the udderly lotion. When i was little we used to use some cream that was used on the farm, it was known as cow bag ointment, think it was something that they used to put on their udders, it was a really good healing cream

[ilove2patch]

Lol! It has moved on a bit from then Ruth & is now a very big seller with some gorgeous creams & lotions.

Ruth, I will try to find an empty pot/little container and send you some, it really is that good, thanks Maggie

I use The Fragrant Gardener, from Norfolk Lavender Ltd. It's a big pot, 250 ml, and has lasted for ages as you don't need a lot.  I had another good one, Nivea SOS I think it was called, but it ran out and I can't find it in the shops, can't remember where I bought it.  I thought Nivea was sold everywhere! Anyone seen it?

[ilove2patch]

They sell it on Ebay, Amazon, Superdrug, Boots. How hard have you looked! lol

You mean you can buy things on the internet???? Well I'll go to the foot of our stairs 😉
