Hand cream: moisturising care for hands and cuticles

A hand cream moisturises and softens the skin on your hands and is made for daily use. Here you will find hand creams with different textures and scents: rich shea butter creams, softly floral options and fresh verbena and citrus scents.

How to choose a hand cream

Choose a hand cream by how dry your hands are and where you use it. Dry skin does well with a rich shea butter cream, while a quickly absorbed texture works at work where you use your hands a lot. A small tube fits in a bag and is easy to carry.

• Rich shea butter cream: suits dry hands and cold weather.
• Light texture: absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy feel.
• Scent versions: floral, rose, cherry blossom and verbena creams make hand care a pleasure.
• Hand and nail cream: keeps the cuticles soft as well.

For washing your hands see our hand soap, and for the whole body body lotions.

How often should I use a hand cream?

It is best to use hand cream after washing your hands and before bed. A small amount is usually enough.

Is hand cream suitable for the cuticles?

Yes, massage the cream gently around the cuticles as well. Some creams are made for this purpose.
