From Left to Right: The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector, Cowshed Cow Pat, Aveeno Hand Cream, Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief
I'll start with the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief as it's not actually a hand cream. This is intended to be a facial moisturiser, but this travel size bottle is perfect for chucking in my handbag and slathering on my hands. I think it probably works better as a facial moisturiser as it's not the best of this bunch, but it does help make my hands look less dry as a quick fix.The Aveeno Hand Cream, as you can probably tell, is nearly finished and I absolutely have to get another tube. This stuff is great. I don't particularly love the smell, but I do love the effect it has. It's quite thick and creamy, but it sinks in well and is definitely helping!
The Cowshed Cow Pat hand cream was a free gift with InStyle magazine a while ago (despite what it says on the website) and I think I like it...It sinks in nicely and seems to work all right. The only thing putting me off ever so slightly is the scent. Its quite a heavy floral smell and I'm not quite sure if I love it or not....
My absolute favorite hand cream is The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector. This is seriously thick and creamy and moisturises like no other. It does leave my hands feeling a little greasy as it takes a little while to sink in, but I can handle that because it has managed to clear up the eczema and made a huge difference to my hands. I love this hand cream and will always use this one over the others.
Anyone have any other hero hand creams I could try?
