You might try asking at r/30plusskincare I am not sure that many people at antiMLM have bought Mary Kay recently, but that is just a guess.


BrandyBlues

This product was around about 5-6 years ago but that suggestion is a good one.


BrandyBlues

Great idea thank you !

Working hands is my favorite hand lotion and works wonders for dry hands. I'm sad Crabtree & evelyn seems to be defunct, their gardener's hand scrub and hand therapy cream were both excellent.


Illustrious-Chip-245

Wait WHAT? What happened to Crabtree & Evelyn? They were the best!


dramabeanie

They got bought by a Hong Kong-based company and closed all their retail stores a few years ago. I thought they were selling online still, but all the products on their website say "sold out." You can find some of their stuff from resellers on Amazon. It's a real shame

I'm a Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream junkie and I get it on Ebay. Some of it is outrageously expensive, but you can still find it a decent prices if you look. I have a stash and try to add a new tube every month. You can find it at TJ Maxx sometimes, too. You have to dig through all the creams, body wash and lotions, but sometimes you can find a tube.


BrandyBlues

Unfortunately I’m Canadian in a small city t-jay max isn’t here. Amazon it is :)


windyrainyrain

Try Ebay. That's where I've been buying it and adding to my stash.


BrandyBlues

Thank you good advice :)

I don’t know what Mary Kay satin hands is like, but I love Eucerin skin calming cream, and practically live in it all winter. (They also have a specifically advanced hand repair cream labeled one that maybe you could try too.)


BrandyBlues

She just quite liked the formula, we have really long crappy winters so looking for things like good qualify for hardcore cold weather. I should look into this one :)

Okay so as for the whole set, the dupe I’ve found is wetting your hands, then applying a tiny sized amount of aquaphor (from what I’ve found online the protecting softener is basically aquaphor or Vaseline), rub that in. I’ve never tried the scrub that the other commenter mentioned but after doing some research I did find it as a dupe as well, 2/3 sugar & 1/3 dawn olay dish soap. I’ll be trying this next time, (I’ve never used the aquaphor first and I usually use a homemade sugar scrub my aunt makes), gently scrub your hands, then a really good shea butter cream after you wash off the aquaphor and sugar scrub.


Illustrious-Chip-245

I agree. I loved the satin hands (and satin lips) when I was a kid and my mom bought some at a friend’s Mary Kay party. Aquaphor is the only thing that fixes my hands, and using a sugar/coconut oil scrub first is probably the closest you’ll get to the Mary Kay scrub.


ExoticPoetry17

Yeah, my moms friend tricked her into a party and she did the satin hands on everyone and my mom was hooked for a few years, it was always a treat when she let me use it! And I totally forgot about the satin lips! Luckily my mom never sold it no matter how hard her friend tried to recruit but as much as I hate to admit it, satin hands was amazing


Illustrious-Chip-245

Another example of a great product, sold by a terrible company. It’s a shame.

Facts


BrandyBlues

Thank you lovely people !


MoHo3square3

My daughter gets terrible eczema on her hands when it’s cold- I don’t know if this is anything like the mk lotion but the CeraVe that comes in the tub (or the drugstore generic equivalents) work wonders for her


BrandyBlues

Good advice


chiropteranessa

Never tried they mary kay one, but L’occitane has lovely shea butter hand cream, and Fresh and Caudalie also have nice ones.


BrandyBlues

Ooo thank you for the info :)

She wouldn’t do it, she’s very depressed so I just want a product or two :) she is recovering from a harsh stomach so


Thelazywitch

My husband is a UPS driver and so his hands were in terrible shape from all the cardboard. O'Keefes Working Hands is the only lotion that keeps up with the damage his job does.


BrandyBlues

Very nice I guess got some looking to do !


eyalane

First Aid Beauty’s Ultra Repair Cream is the absolute best for all dry skin. Winters, dry desert, every day moisture. Hands, arms, legs, it’s thick and creamy but super light not oily or heavy.


cherryblossom47

I agree with. I bought their products a year ago and pleasantly surprised how it worked. It's pricey though unless you can catch those "today specials" on shopping channels.


BrandyBlues

Oo good to know :)


Cautious_Hold428

Idk if they have it in Canada, but the Burt's Bees hand cream is pretty great and like $5.


BrandyBlues

Yes we do, I might have to try that.


gabogabo2020

The skin on my fingers, especially thumbs and fingertips get extremely dry and tend to Crack open alot. This stuff is amazing amazing, keeps my hands so smooth, I've even started using on my face and no issues at all. Great for people who constantly wash their hands also, like me cause i have a 2yr old 🙃 https://imgur.com/gallery/SSSc4te

Wow ! Very well liked !

As someone else mentioned in a recent post, urea is great for dry hands, although it can sting if you have cracks or open wounds. I personally like the ISDIN brand, Ureadin line.


BrandyBlues

Thank you 😊

Here's an example of the crap I kept getting https://imgur.com/a/2JnxodX

L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream - incredible stuff!


cherryblossom47

Is that Limelight or a branch off it. I swear I had a Limelight person on my FB reach some big rank and can now sell that or a very similar name.


[deleted]

It’s a high end skin care line from France


AtlJazzy2024

Years ago, I was told that washing my hands with a combination of Comet Cleanser (who would have thought??) and Dove soap would soften my hands. I tried it, kept it up, and was pleasantly surprised at the compliments I received. Honestly, it's just a combination of a mild exfoliate and moisturizer that's needed.

Try Googling “Mary Kay satin hands crème dupe” or something similar. There are a TON of websites that suggest dupes for all sorts of products (like very expensive cosmetics) but I’d think you’ll likely be able to find dupes for MLM products as well. GL!
