We use our hands for typing, shaking, cooking, writing, eating and all kinds of stuff, so it's only fair to take special care of them....i think dry hands are the absolute worst...cracking, tight, patchy.....i could go on and on....sometimes you want to hide your hands by making a fist so no one notices...lol...been there....now i always have a hand cream in my bag, in my bed side drawer, even in the kitchen drawer....oh yeah...i used to keep in the car too but it always melts up and goes bad....overtime after using so many hand creams i've figured out the best ones for day time and night time....yeap....you heard me right.....day and night hand creams and also hand scrubs....but don't worry about the hand scrubs, you could get away with using a body scrub for your hands....same thing.
A list of the Best Hand Creams around.....
Obagi Oraser Overnight Hand Recovery: This has retinol, antioxidants and also feels very rich, it absorbs really fast and doesn't leave that greasy feel on your palms afterwards....and after using it for two weeks i noticed it really cleared some spots that i had....i was showing off my hands on purpose, it was that good...the only problem for me with this is the price....too expensive...and it also has a day version...Obagi Oraser Daily Hand Repair SPF 20 and a hand scrub Obagi Oraser Microderm Hand Renewal....i think the whole range is perfect from your 40's...it will be money well spent.
L'Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream: i love the lemony smell and it has shea butter that makes it really moisturising...it also absorbs really quickly, but i always have to wipe my palms after application coz it leaves a greasy feel, but then again that could just be me applying too much...i still love it....coz i don't have to reapply so often except i wash my hands.
La Mer The Hand Treatment: This is non greasy...softens the hands, skin looks plump and hydrated...the price is a major turn off for me, with that price it should have come with a sunscreen coz you definitely need sunscreen for hands, so this is better used at night.
Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream: This is my favourite hand cream ever, it's extra hydrating, plumps your skin all day....it's better at night though coz it's very greasy and you could get the Bliss Glamour Gloves and use together for smooth, soft, supple hands everyday.
Chanel Precision Body Excellence Nourishing and Rejuvenating Hand Cream: My mum has been using this for as long as i can remember, she smells of the stuff...it has provitamin B5 for nails and cuticles, licorice extract for evening out the skin.... it absorbs really quickly and your hand feels smooth and soft instantly, ....and it's Chanel....what's not to like.
Clinique Deep Comfort Hand and Cuticle Cream: This feels very moisturizing, leaves hands feeling hydrated all day....absorbs instantly and doesn't leave hands greasy....it also doesn't have a strong smell...good on your wallet too.
Ahava Source Mineral Hand Cream: This feels very light and your hands feel hydrated for a long time, it also made a noticeable difference in my hands which i really like...it didn't leave any greasy after feel.
Other really good ones are Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Eucerin Intensive Repair Hand Cream, E45 Moisturizing Hand Cream
There's a hand cream for every budget...so you don't have an excuse not to always have one around.......Ciao
