    I have a sample of Lancome moisturiser that’s too rich for my skin, so I used it as hand cream since I’d run out out, and my hands feel lovely.

    I looked this stuff up out of idle interest, with no intention of ever purchasing it:

    It’s $575. For a 60ml tub of moisturiser.

    I’m horrified. Are there really people out there who pay that much just for moisturiser? When so many can barely afford food? I’m spiralling a bit. But wow.

      I use either savlon or a cheap lanolin. Lanolin in nearly exactly the same as our natural skin oils and works very well.

      expensive doesn’t necessarily means awesome

      I leave this for your consideration.

      Edit: I have not and never will buy this item. (Knew a woman who worked selling this stuff at a department store counter.) I feel guilty buying a $20 hand or face cream!

      Holy moley! I have a ‘special’ moisturiser that costs $50 bucks but I only buy it every now and then because its too expensive. That’s a whole other level
