Hand cream for kids

6 replies

Kids are going back to primary school in a couple of weeks and I'm worried about all the extra hand washing. Particularly as we use before and afterschool provision. Before lockdown DD's hands were starting to get red and sore.

So I was thinking of sending her in with a good quality hand cream. Unfortunately though she hates having anything put on her skin (sun cream, moisturiser, etc especially if they don't rub in easily).

She's not particularly looking forward to going back so I'm trying to find any easily solution.

Can anyone recomend a good quality hand cream that will protect her hands, be easy to use and feel nice on her hands. Or would one of the foam ones be better?

Thanks

O'Keefe's is lovely. We all use it in our house. If you buy the one in the pot rather than the tube it's thicker so you use less and it's easier to rub into the hands.

My dd has very sensitive skin so has always carried Burts Bees handcreams, the white one (I think it's Almond milk and something). Be aware though that we had to get permission from school for her to have it in her bag and she had to hand it over to the teacher at the start of the day. She could go and get some from the teacher's desk when she needed it. I'm not sure why she couldn't just keep it in her bag. She's 7 and in yr3 if that makes a difference.
