Yes, use the hand cream, but KEEP those TINS!!! Yes, a tin lover from way back I cannot resist these. A favourite designer of mine Nathalie Lete has her very own Forest Folk hand cream. The actual hand cream is a lovely light hand cream, and the tin is embossed with owls, bird and flowers, with mushrooms and apples adorning the sides. I think I will keep my threads in my tin ;-) $24.95
