SCMP Reporter

Get a helping hand to keep your mitts soft this autumn.
Jurlique Rose Hand Cream (HK$475/125ml)
You'll fall in love with the scent and never want to wash your hands.  Its rich texture moisturises skin thoroughly,  leaving your hands baby-soft.  Certainly  pricy for a hand cream, but worth the investment. Tel: 2420 3000
In Essence Hydrating Hand Cream (HK$212/110ml)
Essential oils,  including myrrh,  gives this cream a medicinal smell and a stinging price tag. Great if you don't like sweet-smelling hands.  Very creamy -  one application makes a difference. Leaves hands soft and smooth, not greasy.  Tel: 2505 5023
Akin Hand, Nail and Cuticle Creme (HK$120/75ml)
It may take a couple of seconds to rub in, but this rich, floral-scented cream softens even weatherbeaten, washing-up-ruined paws and repels moisture, keeping skin softer for longer. Tel: 2505 5023
Skinfood Pineapple Hand Cream (HK$85/45ml)
Gets in under the surface of the skin, rehydrating and leaving hands with a light but pleasant pineapple scent. Rubs in easily, instantly soothing without leaving a greasy residue. Handy packaging makes it easy to pop into your bag or pocket. Tel: 2834 9121
Caudalie Hand and Nail Cream (HK$168/75ml)
The sweet fruity scent may not to be everyone's  taste, but the moisturising effects  can't be denied. Fairly quickly absorbed by skin and leaves no sticky or slippery fingers. Dry-skinned types may need to re-apply quite frequently. Tel: 2505 5023
