Ever since I was a small child I've been fascinated by the Dead Sea so when I saw a tube of Avon Planet Spa Dead Sea Minerals hand cream at the amazing price of 49p I just had to give it a try. I found it sitting on the shelf in one of our many local charity shops and knowing the RRP is normally around the £4 mark and the tube was brand new I felt I'd made a wise buy. To be fair I don't really have a problem with my hands (luckily) although they can be prone to dryness and I always use some time of hand cream as I don't want to give my age away! The tube is 75ml and is a smart grey colour with a flip-open/ close lid which is white and looks good ...  Read the complete review

I have recently brought the Planet Spa Dead Sea Replenishing hand cream from Avon - I had previously used the African Shea Butter hand and cuticle cream (please see review) but decided whilst on the Avon website to try this one out.

Hand creams are always useful not only for me but along with some shower gel or something similar for little prizes in raffles at groups I go to. I liked the name Planet Spa, it reminded me of days spent at a Luxury beauty spa and it looked very different from the usual hand creams I bought as the tube was grey in colour with a white design, ...  Read the complete review

Years ago I read somewhere that you should always apply hand cream before putting your washing up gloves on, as the heat from the water would help the hand cream soak in. Since then, I have always kept a tube or bottle of hand cream next to the kitchen sink, and apply it each time I wash up in an attempt to keep my hands soft. The one I am currently using is the Avon Planet Spa Dead Sea Minerals hand cream which was a present from my mother. This hand cream claims to soften rough, dehydrated skin and help prevent nail breakage as well as improving the skins texture. I wouldn't exactly say that the skin on my hands is rough, but I do get very dry skin on my ...  Read the complete review
