Keep those hands baby soft with the help of these lightweight hand creams. Wrinkle-free hands? Yes, please.
Living in Singapore can expose you to extremes in temperature. How so, you ask? Well, quite frequently we go from scorching hot 30 degree weather to mild winter weather of 16 degrees once we step indoors. Our exposed skin on our hands bears the brunt of the sudden dip and rise in temperature making them dry, chapped and sometimes itchy.
Due to its perpetual exposure to the elements plus all that drying hand soap and sanitiser, your hands will age faster than the rest of your body. In fact you can guess a woman’s age by the state of her hands!
Now you don’t want to look youthful everywhere else but have your hands give you away, now do you?
Keeping a trusty tube of hand cream on you should be your line of defense as it moisturises your hands in a jiffy while you are on the go. We understand that some of the heavier formulas leave a sticky residue, but luckily for us there are many lightly formulated ones that absorb quickly into the skin. Although, if there is a residue you can simply rub your hands on your elbows to avoid scaly skin there.
We’ve rounded up 10 of the best smelling (and some scentless) hand creams to create a silky smooth barrier between your hands and the elements.
Now you’ll always have baby soft hands!
