Rescue from cold: 11 nourishing hand creams
Text: Moore Sobolev, authoring the telegram channel Fierce & Cute
Hand Cream - Essential in our latitudes: the skin of the hands suffers most from cold, even if you wear gloves, and if you ignore them in favor of, for example, the phone, then all the more. Moore Sobolev collected eleven proven options for day and night use: from moderately defensive to heavy artillery.
Protective Hand Cream The Body Shop Hemp Hard-Working Hand Protector
from 390 rub.
Dense protective hand cream is one of the main best-selling brands of the brand (there are also products for the face and legs in the series). All the theoretical flaws - a very oily, sticky texture, a specific tart odor - are more than overlaid by consumer, so to speak, qualities: it is the best helper in the cold, healing cracks overnight and cleansing dryness.
Nourishing balm for hands L'Occitane Intensive Hand Balm
1950 rub.
The famous Dry Hand Cream last winter had a twin - a thick balm Intensive Hand Balm, where there is no longer 20% shea butter, as in the original, but 25%. She has the main ingredient here, but the balm is not only good for them, but also a good combination with other oils. The tool can be used as a mask (smear as thick as possible and, ideally, wear cotton gloves) or just for the night - the balm thaws on the skin and is well absorbed, despite its dense texture.
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Mains hand cream barrier
609 rub.
La Roche-Posay can make products for atopic and allergic skin, as few people do, and all products in the Cicaplast and Lipikar lines deserve the attention of those whose skin suffers greatly in winter. Cicaplast Mains is interesting in the presence of niacinamide, which works as an anti-inflammatory and renewal component, and a large amount of glycerin - it creates a non-sticky film on its hands, which even handles handwashing.
Retinol Anti-Aging Hand Cream
2390 rub.
This cream, like all brand products, has a package and smell that firmly reminds us of the heavy eighties, but don't let these factors mislead you - the brand is excellent. This cream is stated as a remedy for mature skin, but it seems to suit everyone - there is a good composition (retinol and antioxidants), which, however, is not too active so that it cannot be used at any age: it not only moisturizes, but and smooths the skin well.
Glysolid Hautbalsam Hand Balm
from 85 rub.
The little helper of the mother and not only of the mother is a universal balm with the simplest composition (glycerin and allantoin, everything ingenious is simple) that can be applied anywhere and even used by infants. This is a fat dense balm that needs to be smeared over the skin for a long time - but it gives a light anti-inflammatory effect and excellent protection, especially if used before long walks in the cold.
Thalgo Cold Cream Marine Deeply Nourishing Hand Cream
1500 rub.
A lot of good things come into the nutritional series of Cold Cream Marine: in particular, an excellent face mask and successful hand and foot creams. Despite the oils in the composition, Deeply Nourishing Hand Cream turned out to be low-fat and quite economical to use. Good and as a daily remedy, and at night, if applied fatter.
Nuxe Rêve de Miel Hand and Nail Cream
728 rub.
We have already praised lip balm and face cream from this series, the honey line is truly one of the brand's greatest strengths. The cream for hands and nails (it is always a little slyness, because you can not sate the nails - only the cuticle) has a correct, non-irritating texture: it smells delicious, absorbs quickly and does not enrage, while perfectly fulfilling its direct duties.
Lush "Gurugu" and "Infinity of Aid" hand creams
710 rub. and 730 rubles.
The ethical British brand makes two equally ingenious hand creams: Gurugu is mixed in rose water and shea butter, and Infinity Relief (rumored to be Angelina Jolie’s favorite cream) in chamomile and almond oil. The first one is slightly fatter and better suited for the evening, and the second one can be used during the day - it is not easy to choose, but it is possible.
Himalaya Nourishing Hand Cream Nourishing Hand Cream
from 109 rub.
The Indian brand, the most famous in our market, has recently undergone a rebranding - the proud word "Herbals" was removed from the name (and correctly, since the brand has a very relative naturalness), but the assortment has not changed. From hand cream you should not expect transcendental heights and extraordinary abilities to recover from cold weather (after all, there are no such problems in the homeland of Himalaya), but this is a good and inexpensive daytime option.
Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve Hand Cream
from 1350 rub.
Initially, this cream belonged to the Kiehl's men's series, but the brand quickly transferred it to the universal range. Here, of course, as part of glycerin (again, a protective film that will survive even contact with water), but there is also vegetable squalane, and shea butter - all the best at once. The cream is more likely to protect than to heal, but minimal cracks and dryness removes well.
