“The night walked down the sky with the moon in her hand” Frederic Lawrence Knowles

Beautiful quote, I thought...

Ive always had pretty dry skin, but around this time of year (December!) my hands get real bad - painful and sore.

Ive tried tons of hand creams from Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour, Vaseline Intensive Care, Dove, Molton Brown, L'Occitane, Space NK's paraben free creams, and although they've all helped initially, and when I say initially, I mean for about 30 mins, Ive never seen or felt any longstanding benefits from any of them.

I recently read about Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve and at approx £12 for 75 ml, I thought I may as well give it a go. The fragrance I believe is eucalyptus and does this stuff work wonders! Ive been using it for about 10 days now, only applying a few times a day (not like a girl possessed!) and it most definitely is THE best handcream I have EVER used, EVER!...and that's saying something; you will not be disappointed with the result. Without a doubt, if you have dry, cracked and generally damaged hands, do give it a go!

And I am now hooked on their Lip Balm #1.....more to follow!!
