How often do you use hand cream?

[Letitsnoooow]

For me, Never!

I don’t know why I don’t as I use lots of other beauty products and always moisturise my face. It’s as if I don’t think it would make any difference so I have never bothered. I am at the age now when I’m wondering if I should have!

Does everyone else use it and does it do anything?

I use it throughout the day, after every time I wash my hands. But that is just because my hands otherwise get really dry. I don’t think my hand cream does anything else beneficial for my hands! I use O’Keefe’s.

Following this now out of curiosity as I saw hands mentioned somewhere else on MN and it reminded me of an ad years back. Possibly Nivea, basically saying, “Look, my hands are so young, I could be confused for my daughter if you are looking at my hands only “.

Is ‘hand age’ a thing still??

Every night as standard, with more during the day if needed e.g. lots of hand washing.

I don’t oil up the habit at the start of last year when washing and sanitising where taking their toll. Stick with it as it does make a difference to both skin and nails. I don’t know if my hands look younger but they have a nice sheen now.

Previously I used to only do it when having a manicure or doing one myself.

Also do a hand mask and foot mask once a month now.

My favourites are D’Alchemy Spectacular Hand therapy for a cream and Seoulista Rosy Glow/Roay Toes for masks.

About 5-10 times a day

Every time I wash my hands and an expensive one at bed time. If I didn't my hands get so dry and sore and the skin in between my fingers breaks and really hurts, plus my cuticles start peeling.
I have a Garnier one for during the day and have tubes of it everywhere (car, bag, work, kitchen, bedroom) and then I use The Chemistry Brand first thing and last thing, which has really improved the appearance of my skin

Quite a lot in winter as my hands get dry and I hate the feeling. Plus hand cream smells nice. Not so much in summer. Sometimes if I’m a bit eczema itchy and my skin needs soothing.

Regularly

I hand wash a lot during the day - I'm a children's nursery nurse so deal with a lot of nappies.

In the summer I get Pomphylyx (sp?!) on my fingers, so use plenty of cream otherwise my skin cracks

I use Epaderm in the summer and O'keefes the rest of the time

Every day, and at night before bed. Especially in winter.

Never. Don’t feel the need.

Whenever I have washed them with soap or had then in the washing up as they feel dry and uncomfortable otherwise. Have tubes in every room, handbag and desk at work.

a lot.

I cycle a lot which makes skin dry plus tend to get pomphilox (spelling?) eczema on my hands if I don't.
palmers cocoa butter intense (in the pot) mornings & night and any other that soaks in quickly with little scent in between.

I generally don't, but a number of my friends do. I got some in a post Christmas sale and I've used it off and on if I remember. Can't see any difference but it smells nice!

Maybe once or twice a year?!

Before bed and throughout the day if I have a bit of spare time. I only like ones that absorb quickly though as I can’t stand greasy hands! Currently using a Caudalie one I got in a Christmas set but my favourite are the Body Shop ones as they are cheap and I get through them super quickly.

In winter, at least a couple of times a day. In summer, not very often.
Last year though, all the bloody time as my hands were absolutely destroyed by all the hand gel.

4-5 times a day. I have eczema and use Aveeno or l'occitaine, whoever comes to hand () first

I haven’t used it since all the hand sanitizer either. I haven’t felt I needed to. I do get eczema but not on my hands.

All the time, Vaseline hand and nail, nothing exciting but my hands tend towards crispy, horses and dogs

You don't feel dry then? I've Airways had dry skin. Since my 20s I've carried hand cream and I lotion all the time.

I million times a day! I’m a nurse, constant hand washing over the years has killed my skin.

After every wash. My hands feel ever so dry if I don't.

If they didn't feel dry, I probably wouldn't bother. They certainly don't look any younger than my friends' who don't use cream 🤷🏻‍♀️

10-20 times a day. Basically every time I wash my hands. I have ridiculously dry and sensitive skin. My hands would be raw and gaping if I didn’t slather them in moisturizer . I keep pump bottles in all over the house. I do my full body twice a day.

At work every time I wash my hands as the liquid soap is really drying. At home we use bar soap so I only need it occasionally, maybe once or twice a week.

Never. I hate having slimy hands. Have only felt the need to moisturise my hands if i was washing something and got too much detergent on my hands

Never. It feels horrible & just makes me want to wash my hands again.

Every night. I struggle with the feel of it but I like the caudalie one best
