Pat and Rub – relaxing hand balm (£12.30)

I have an obsession with hand cream, I always have at least 4 different ones on the go. One by the side of the bed, one on my desk, one by the kitchen sink and one in my bag. This particular one by Pat and Rub was by my bed and I used it every night. It’s 100% natural, comes in a cool little pump, moisturises, softens, soothes and absorbs easily. For all those reasons it’s absolutely great but although I really appreciate it for those qualities it’s the smell I adore. It smells of lemon grass and coconut so in effect it smells like Thai green curry. It may not be to everybody’s taste but I think it is sensational and loved drifting off to slept with the smell on my hands.
