How often do you use hand cream?

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?

Several times a day, I hate dry hands.

Mostly only in winter. My hands get dry in the winter, but I don't feel like I need it during the summer.

A few times A day, hand sanitiser really dries then out.

On a work day I use it every time I wash my hands, because I have a tube next to my laptop. Otherwise always a heavy duty one at night (currently BS Hemp) and before going outside.

Every night without fail, never in the day time.
Oil on hands ruins leather handles on bags. I hate the darkening dirty look.

Whenever my hands feel dry so a few times a day. I have some loccitaine left that I treated myself too...use this a night.
During the day I have an Aldi one.

I thought most people used handcream daily but probably not. Just like many people don't cream their body.

I know if I didn’t use hand cream my hands would look awful. I use cuticle oil as well.

WellTidy · 08/01/2022 08:52

If my hands didn’t feel dry I wouldn’t use it at all.

But they are dry (I have dry skin all over) and so I’ve tried pretty much all of them. My favourites are the occitane ones with Shea in them. They do loads of hand creams, but the Shea ones are super moisturising. I have 30ml ones in the car, handbag, living room, kitchen and a 150ml one next to the bed.

I also really rate the unsecured Aveeno.

In winter, regularly, I have some on my desk. My hands look so old when dry Blush

OverByYer · 08/01/2022 09:38

I love l’occitaine handcream my favourite is the almond.
I also like Dr Organic hemp oil one as well.
I have hand cream in my desk, kitchen, handbags. Same for lip balm too.
I’d feel like a prune otherwise!

Maybe 4-5 times over a couple of days if my skin feels dry, and then not again for a couple of months. So I guess, erratically (just like my body or face moisturiser usage).

Fedupsotired · 08/01/2022 10:22

I need to start using it more as my hands end up cracking and bleeding
