Whats the Best Hand Cream You Are Using?

Ask a Question

It’s that time again when the weather suddenly changes to autumn 🍂 season and gets even colder 🥶 when it’s winter ❄️ and you find that your hands are getting drier too!! 🥺

Hate when it gets worse that the skin cracks and gets all red and sometimes itchy too! 😭

Which hand creams 🧴 do you use that’s great for dry and flaky skin?

Haha 😆 I have a few different ones that I buy when I see on sale to stock up as I wash my hands 👏🏻 with soap 🧼 a lot! 😅

I make my own for dry skin using what I have at home - a body lotion base mixed with a carrier oil (like grapeseed, sweet almond or neem). If I'm not doing anything for a while, I'll just use the carrier oil and wait for my hands to absorb it 😃

I use handcream from The Body Shop. It is maybe a little more expensive but it works for me. I tend to buy it when I've got a voucher for Christmas. I also find wearing gloves outside helps to stop the cold getting to them and making them even worse.

When my hands get really dry and cracked i use O’keeffes which is a bit expensive but it lasts long and it works well.

Other than that I use hemp handcream from the body shop

Yeah The Body Shop’s hemp cream’s texture is very thick and does help with dry hands!

I’m currently using Nursem it has manuka honey 🍯 and white willow extract

kitty88uk wilko’s used to do discounts on O’Keeffes during the winter but obviously that won’t be an option anymore. I saw amazon do a reduced price on it too at times so keep an eye out.

I use L’Occitane hand creams, over the years I’ve found these ones are amazing for me to keep my hands crack free. Used to suffer really badly with cracked skin but don’t anymore.

I have a gel on prescription. I wash my hands a lot too. I think when they start to crack I will use a bit of Vaseline too.

JLouM I use Vaseline in my lips cause they get dry too!

The body lotions 🧴 are good so are Aveeno too

But sometimes I do find some creams don’t work on dry flaky skin no matter how many times I use them lol 😝

Clarins hand cream is divine and smells nice too.

Soap & Glory Hand Food hand cream has a lovely marshmallow smell. I carry a mini in my bag.

Neutrogena hand cream is another fave. Buy it when on offer.

Not a fan of the Clarins 8hr creams though. Don't like the smell of it!

Vaseline is an old but good remedy too.
