Don't wait until your hands become dry and flaky before  using hand cream. Our hands need extra moisture in the dry months to prevent them from cracking and chapping. Moisturise them  several times a day, especially after washing, as soap can sap them of natural moisture.
Bliss High Intensity Hand Cream (HK$100/30ml)
Feels  like a layer of grease.  The texture is  too thick to  rub in properly.
Origins A Difference Rejuvenating Hand Treatment (HK$180/75ml)
Light and  quickly absorbed,  this has a refreshing smell. It is suitable for daily use but not on extremely dry days.
Biotherm Biomains Anti Dark Spot SPF 15 Hand Treatment (HK$150/75ml)
An intense moisturiser that's excellent for dry, winter hands. And it's good for your nails, too. What's more, it's got SPF.
Neutrogena Hand Cream (HK$49.9/56g)
This cream is thick  with a feminine, slightly medical scent. It moisturises well but does feel a bit oily for  some time after application.
Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Hand Therapy Cream (HK$115/50ml)
The cream is moisturising  without leaving a greasy feeling  on your hands. The effect is quite long lasting, so it's  perfect for keeping in your bag during the dry season.
