5 Hand Creams... to Have on Hand

My Cherrie-pick, of the very best hand creams, and where to place them around your home, so you can't help but indulge.

I always advise people to apply hand cream after every hand wash. That might sound easier said than done but, a strategically-placed, irresistible potion for your palms is exactly how you do it...

1. The Morning Hand Cream

Crabtree & Evelyn Citron & Coriander Hand Therapy

‘Richly nourishing and uplifting’

ENRICHED WITH: Shea Butter, Lemon Leaf, Honey and Coriander

THE SCENT: Citrus, sweet and peppery

WHERE TO PLACE: In your bathroom because it’s revitalising aroma is a great start to the day.

PRICE: £18 - 250ml

I keep Crabtree & Evelyn’s Citron in my own bathroom because it perfectly complements my Verbena hand wash.

It’s very rich and nourishing, yet leaves a kind of clean, matte finish on the skin.

It also cleared up my recurring Dermatitus, which used to keep flaring up on my right hand for years.

2. The Hard-Working Hand Cream

Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm

‘Nourishing with a grease-less finish’

ENRICHED WITH: Mandarin Rind, Rosemary Leaf and Cedar Atlas

THE SCENT: Citrus, woody and herbaceous

WHERE TO PLACE: In Your Kitchen because it’s good for hard-working hands.

PRICE: £70 - 500ml

The scent of this balm literally sends me balmy, it’s out of this world! It may be on the expensive side but it really is worth every penny.

Even with regular use, the large pump size lasts all year. I keep a smaller pot in my session kit.

I think of it as a real treat for hard-working hands. I use it on male models and they love it too.
