Handcream update

Creme de le Mer handcream at Heathrow Duty free is £51. In the US its normal price is $70. I didn't get it.

They didn't have LOccitaine. I agree with others about Ahava, but I don't like the strong smell and you can't get it at duty free. So in the end I got Clarins. £13. I agree it's an excellent handcream, and it has an SPF. But it also has a slightly medicinal smell which I find off-putting. But beggars can't be choosers. £51 for handcream at Heathrow, $70 at Saks.

Lush Dream Cream is really nice and is practically scent-free. Vaseline Intensive Hand & Cuticle cream (pink tube, blue cap) is ok.

clarins is medicinal, the best by far is jurlique, an australian brand, nothing else compares, but I don't think you can get it in the UK
