Hands That Do Dishes...

...can feel as soft as your face.

Do you remember the Fairy Liquid advert?

I don't do dishes as I have a dishwasher so my hands usually need a little help to keep them as soft as my face. I was very lucky recently when I won Amanda's Crabtree and Evelyn giveaway on her Eight by Six blog. It all came beautifully packaged in the most lovely little box.


Inside was a 100g tube of Gardeners Hand Recovery which is recommended for the aid and relief of very dry or rough skin and helps restore suppleness and youthful appearance, and two 25g handbag size tubes of Gardeners Hand Therapy which helps nourish and condition work roughened hands.


These are just the things to keep my hands in tip top shape after all the work I'll be doing putting the allotment to bed for the winter.


I have to confess that I haven't used them yet but they smell lovely. I like to keep things new for a while before using them. Am I the only one who does this?

Thank you, Amanda. I'm very pleased with my prize, I'm sure it will keep my hands silky soft.

  4. Ooh, what a yummy prize to win - lucky you. I'm a handcream fiend as having two dogs means I seem to be constantly washing my hands!
    Happy weekend and hope you get some gardening done so you have an excuse to use your lovely new cream.

    1. I'm always washing my hands too with Archie. Not sure I'll be gardening this weekend, but I may just use my lovely giveaway anyway.

    1. I'm not sure, I know she did Birds Eye peas. These creams are just the thing for a gardener, I'll enjoy using them.

  7. I remember the Fairy ad. I also remember the one for Palmolive washing up liquid where a manicurist had her client's fingers in a bowl of Palmolive washing up liquid as it was (allegedly) so good for your hands. I think I'd rather use your handcream! LOL

    1. I don't remember the Palmolive one at all, perhaps I would if I saw it. I'll definitely stick with handcream.
