Hello cork-dry hands

(the best hand creams for every budget)

The heating is slowly being turned up to twenty-three, the woolen sweaters are getting attention again, the temperature of the shower is rising and the gloves can also be taken down from the attic. Everything to survive that winter But. That warmth is nice, only our skin is a little less happy about it. Applying, applying, applying is then the best medicine.

Do you also have to cycle quite a few kilometers every day to get to work? Then a good hand cream is definitely something that should not be missing in your handbag. How nice: I have lined up the finest, most delicious, and most nourishing ones for you.

1. Kiehl’s - Ultimate Strength Handsalve

Is it so bad that the first cracks and crevices are appearing on your hands? Then this is the tube you need to stock up on. The cream contains a mix of botanical oils and natural wax from olive oil that soothes and hydrates the skin at the same time.

€23, among others available at Bijenkorf and online

2. Aesop – Résurrection Aromatique Hand Balm

The products from the Australian brand Aesop are a win anyway. This hand balm contains various botanical ingredients that restore even the most damaged skin. Because the cream is oil-free, it doesn't feel sticky and absorbs directly into the skin. And we love that...

€23, among others available at Skins and online

3. Neutrogena

This affordable hand cream is a must in every handbag. A nice thick cream that nourishes and is lightly scented.

4. Le Labo

My favorite of favorites also has a hand cream. I didn't know that, and that was a good thing. It's a light lotion that absorbs quickly, nourishes the skin, protects it, and also looks great on your bathroom shelf. You have to dig a little into your pocket for it, but then you have something.

€29, available at Skins or online.

5. Rituals – Ayurveda Soothing Hand Balm

The combination of almond oil and Indian rose in this cream provides the perfect cocktail to soften and relax your skin.
