Your recommendations for creams/moisturisers

I am looking for some good advice on creams or moisturisers that are
very good quality.
I am 34 years old and on maternity leave with 3 young children. As my day is quite busy, I won't always have time to put on make-up.

I would like to invest in some good creams for my face firstly and what you might recommend for eye's/body/hand

I don't mind paying a good bit for them once I know they are good for skin.
Would really appreciate some good advice!

I am a year older than you and also have 3 children. The best creams that I have used recently are the No 7. Protect and Perfect day and night creams. I am currently using Elemis pro-collagen marine cream and while it is good, I don't think it is as good as the boots one. Prior to that I was using Clarins (can't remember which one, think it was multi active) I was using the Aldi ones a few years back for a while but eventually my skin started rebelling so I had to go back to the more pricey stuff:(

For my body, I always use a body oil after the shower. Currently using Nipfab multioil but use a variety of things apricot oil/bio oil/almond oil etc. After that I use a body cream/lotion. I like creams that smell like coconut and my current favs are one I got in Dunnes for €1.50 (can't remember name but really coconuty and rich) and Desert Essence Coconut Lotion (from Iherb) Iherb actually great for oils and lotions and potions. Also use Soap and Glory

I have to say that I really neglect my hands and they are in an awful state

I don't use eye creams either

Thanks for reply lindt

Do you find the Nipfab oil v.goog. That is one think I don't use but want to start using.

Was there any reason you don't use the Clairns cream anymore? I always felt they were good even though expensive.
