Discover 7 of the best hand creams

1) Skin Juice Perfect Paws Hand Therapy Cream 100ml

If protection and nourishment are your objectives, Skin Juice Perfect Paws Hand + Foot Cream has two big ticks for those boxes. This is a hand cream that is non-greasy and all-natural, but better still, it is effective when applied to your feet, too. Whenever your skin has that dry feeling, all it takes is a small squeeze of Skin Juice Perfect Paws Hand + Foot Cream massaged gently around your hands. You might prefer to leave it on at bedtime and let the oils get to work overnight, or alternatively use the formula to keep your skin feeling extra smooth throughout the day.

2) The Chemistry Brand Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream 100ml

The hands are one part of the body that ageing can begin to affect first, so it’s a good job that formulas such as The Chemistry Brand Intense Youth Complex Hand Cream are on the market, with its multidimensional attack on ageing signs – this complex concentration offers “firmness, elasticity, density, evenness, brightness, texture, smoothness and hydration” and benefits from biotechnology which involves a derivative of the Tremella Fuciformis Sporocarp mushroom. “Why is this mushroom so special?” we hear you ask – well for a start, it has been found to be 400 times more effective than hyaluronic acid as a moisturiser. This hand cream also offers the advantage of a blend including Maize Propanediol and Sacha Inchi oil which combines to form a protective barrier of moisture.

3) Weleda Skin Food 75 ml

For thirsty hands which are crying out for moisture, Weleda Skin Food can really do the trick. It is a rich, caring, thick cream blend of nourishing plant oils, lanolin and beeswax with skin-calming extracts of pansy, chamomile and calendula. That carries intensive caring moisture to help regenerate the skin.

4) Glasshouse The Hamptons Hand Cream 100ml

Some of the best hand creams also offer you a dose of aromatherapy into the bargain. That certainly seems to be the case with Glasshouse The Hamptons Hand Cream. This is a formula that will tantalise your senses with notes such as fig leaves and juniper berry while enriching your hand skin with a blend of shea and apricot oil. The end result? Hands that feel silky smooth but not greasy.

5) Antipodes Joyful Hand and Body Cream 120ml

Here is another hand cream with a fabulous fragrance. Antipodes Joyful Hand and Body Cream combines the scents of captivating summer blackcurrant with South Pacific hibiscus bloom, offering a burst of pleasure each time you apply. It is also very good for the skin, delivering hydration to the skin that is stressed, tired or dry. You won’t need to worry about any oily residue with this formula, which is suited to all skin conditions. If you aren’t familiar with Antipodes as a brand, note that they are a Kiwi company that has earned a reputation for using natural homegrown ingredients which have been independently and scientifically validated.
