Our hands go through a lot, especially in the colder months when the weather can leave skin dry and uncomfortable.The best hand creams can help restore moisture, using soothing, hydrating and nourishing ingredients to keep your skin and nails soft and protected.
For this review, a wide range of options were put to the test, from lightweight, fast-absorbing creams that don’t leave a greasy residue, from Nuxe’s rêve de miel hand and nail cream (£9.50, Amazon.co.uk), to Neutrogena’s intense repair cica hand cream (£7.19, Boots.com), which proved helpful for particularly dry, cracked skin. While some formulas are fragrance-free and better suited to sensitive skin, I also tried a number of more scented options from brands including Glossier, Tropic and Chanel.
