Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Sanctuary Spa Rich Hand Creams

Sanctuary Spa’s original Signature fragrance has a bit of a cult following – not least among perfume writers, who are drawn to its cocooning notes of jasmine, vanilla and grapefruit.

We’re fans of many of its different incarnations (you can pretty much enjoy Sanctuary Spa from top to toe, AND fragrance your home with the scent), but it has newly emerged in the format of a delicious, rich hand cream (in a recyclable aluminium tube). As ever, it offers fantastic value – just £8.50 for 50ml, with lashings of nourishing power from shea butter and the gloriously-named Gold of Pleasure oil, among other ingredients that include skin-brightening niacinamide. They SAY that ‘moisture is locked in for seven days’, but TBH, that’s just so hard to measure because… who doesn’t wash and then re-moisturise their hands for a week????

Signature Hand Cream has some siblings, though, if you want to stray into new fragrant territory. Golden Sandalwood Hand Cream is our next fave: creamy sandalwood, black pepper and freesia. But if you like classic florals, Lily & Rose Hand Cream is your bag, with… yes, lily and rose, along with white lily and palmarosa.

You don’t need tons – they are rich, yet not greasy – but you could slather generously for a deep overnight treatment.

Gotta hand it to Sanctuary Spa, for another (affordable) winner…
