Soft touch

Every smallholder and gardener suffers from dry and chapped hands at some time, no matter how hard they try to protect them. This soothing and scented Farmers’ Hand Cream, from Welsh Lavender Limited, is a real treat of a stocking-filler and, at £12 a tin, offers affordable luxury. Also available in the same range is a foot cream, a body scrub, body lotion, and lip balm. No artificial colours or perfumes are used in the products, just naturally-derived ingredients, and nothing is tested on animals. www.welshlavender.co.uk
