Can anyone recomend a really good hand cream? Due to extreme steroid useage over the past 5 years and still needing to take them, my skin has become very thin. I have to do my bloods up to 6 times a day, so the tips of my fingers get very dry. I have tried several creams but nothing works well. I dont mind if its a dearer one as long as it works.

Thanks

I have recently discovered my favourite night hand cream. In the winter I always get very dry skin and the skin between my fingers get so dry that they crack. I got Dr Hauschka for Christmas and use their Rose Body oil as a hand cream last thing before going to bed and now the sore cracks are gone! I didn't like it as a body oil but it is a fantastic hand cream. I think it costs around £3.95 for 10 ml.

Hope your hands get better soon.

I Used Up today a sample sachet from a Nivea day cream. Nothing special in my opinion. Has put 50 pence in my pot. I read on here that someone was going to put 50 pence in their pot for every sample they use up and I have decided to do the same. Thanks to whoever mentioned it on here.

L'Occitane shea butter is fab for dry skin

I'd second the L'occitane shea butter recommendation

And I'd happily third that :cool:

I've just spent the last 2 hours making a list of what toiletries I've got - will add to thread soon, haven't included make - up....

Hi all

No use ups to report today
No Ins either

But another no spend day (as well as yesterday) as I am now back to work having had 6 weeks off with a back injury. Have only been back 3 days but am really tired so I think I still have a way to go to be fully fit.

Having seen some of the other lists I now realise that my 20 shower gels can and have been beaten :rotfl:

Hope you are all having a good day

UU Boots No 7 hot cloth cleanser WIBA - YES! and already have, love this stuff. I have used LE which was fab then Mr T's did a version which they discontinued so was glad that No7 brought one out. I would like to try the S & G one but its a smaller tube than the No 7 and about the same price (the MSE in me being sensible!).

Also UU a sachet of cellulite busting scrubby thing from Jurlique, I have had it for yonks and thought I should use it up - it was ok but I dont think it did much to the dimples!

UU tube of aquafresh toothpaste another in the stash.

Just found more toiletries that haven't been added to the original list! A small sample tube of Simple moisturiser, a face mask sachet (which I'm going to use up now) and some spot gel that obviously isn't up to much or it wouldn't be stuck at the bottom of a basket (I get lots of spots so anything effective would be in a prominent place somewhere!). The latter doesn't look like it's got much in so may be able to use it within a week or so.

Can anyone recommend a better replacement? (It's a Boots Skin Clear Quick -Clearing Gel). Off the top of my head, I've tried the Neutrogena 4-hour spot gel and Boots tea tree & witch hazel spot wand with no success. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Two UUs to report. One was actually last month but never got round to reporting it. Anyway UU a shower gel and end of last week UU a perfume. That leaves 56 and 44 respectively.

Have a cleanser and mini perfume that I use at weekends close to finishing so hopefully they will be the next things to report as UUs.

Ooh, that might be lovely! I've used a bit though (maybe tried it 3 times just to be sure I didn't like it - is that still ok?) and I don't get cold sores or anything . I'm more of a smellies girl than make up really, so if you wanted to pick a little something from your stash that's a similar size or something (it's just the little pot one I've got, just to be clear, so you don't send something much heavier :eek: - need to be MSE and fair re the postage ) then yes, that would be great :T. How is this done then, do we just PM each other for addresses? Thank you!!

That's grand. PM me your address and I'll dig something nice out. Yay for MSE! :T

Thanks to all for the No7 hot cloth cleanser recommendations, I am currently using Molton Brown rosewax cleanser with a muslin cloth but am tempted to try this too as I got a voucher the other day.
