Beautiful and well-groomed hands- This is an integral part of the image of a woman who loves herself. Today our hands are not only an indicator of age, but also an indicator of our attitude towards ourselves. If 10 years ago using face cream was already a feat for the average woman, today, when self-care is increasingly becoming commonplace, hand care is also gaining popularity. Choosing the best hand cream.
Hand creams, balms, oils, spa care complexes - you just can’t find anything on the shelves in cosmetics stores and beauty salons. The choice is really great. But we don’t always know what and when to use to help our hands maintain youth, beauty, and a well-groomed appearance. Let's understand hand creams today, which are the best, what to choose, which cream to buy.
Hand cream: what is it for?
The main functions of hand creams are nutrition, moisturizing and protection.
Dry skin needs nutrition, most often it anti-aging creams, or cream for the cold season, when the skin needs additional beneficial substances.
Moisturizing creams can be used all year round; they maintain the skin's moisture balance.
Hand cream with a protective function is usually intended for winter or, conversely, summer periods when the skin needs additional protection from aggressive external factors.
The best hand cream - composition
When choosing the best hand cream, it is important to pay attention to its composition; certain components are responsible for the specific properties of the cream:
- glycerin will help keep your hands moisturized longer
- paraffin will soften dry hand skin
- Lanolin nourishes
- allantoin and alpha-bisabolol will help relieve irritation
- tea tree oil fights inflammation
- panthenol will help if there are small wounds on the skin
- natural oils and vitamins are responsible for youthful skin, its smoothness and elasticity, and a healthy appearance.

Choosing the best hand cream. What qualities should a hand cream have? How to choose a hand cream that suits your needs? And are all hand creams safe?
The new EcoTest tested not only hand creams from well-known foreign brands, but also from domestic manufacturers. The result leaves much to be desired... Most creams contain oil industry products, parabens, and allergens. Certified organic products are top notch as always.
| Photo by Petar Milošević |
Hand cream is especially popular in the autumn and winter. I think that every girl has a tube in her bag that promises you instantly soft, well-groomed hands. Powder is not always available, a comb is not always available, but hand cream is always available.
This is how we choose which hand cream is the best. After all, cosmetic companies multiply from year to year, the statements on tubes become more promising and more beautiful. Multi-colored packaging just begs to go into our purse.
Well, how could it be otherwise? After all, our hands need to endure and endure so much. Even seemingly ordinary hand washing can damage the skin, since water removes natural fat, which serves as a barrier and protects our hands from the negative influence of the environment and stabilizes the natural state of skin hydration. It resembles a wall: due to lipids, it does not disintegrate. Every time you wash your hands, some of the lipids are washed away and the skin loses its stability. Therefore, dermatologists recommend applying cream to your skin every time you wash your hands.
There are rumors that frequent application of the cream harms lipid balance. But that's not true. Because of creams, the skin does not produce less lipids. What you really need to be careful of are parabens, silicones and other questionable ingredients like allergens and preservatives.
Even glycerin is not as scary as it is made out to be. The only thing you need to pay attention to is that only in certified natural cosmetics it is made from plant materials. In conventional cosmetics, it can also be of petrochemical production.
The best hand cream - test
In this article, I tested for you not only brands of well-known companies, such as Nivea, Dove And Vichy, as well as some creams domestic producers. By the way, girls, I did this for the first time, and if you are interested, then write to me here in the comments which brands of manufacturers you would like to see tested here.
The best hand cream - results
Mixed: The best cream for hands you will find in the segment of organic cosmetics, and not only European ones. Natura Siberica I was very pleased, despite the lack of international certificates Organic cosmetics(specifically for this cream), the composition is very, very good.
The worst hand creams: Not everything that is advertised on TV is good. So the cream is from the company "Dove" received an assessment "unsatisfactory"
, as it contains substances that are hazardous to the skin.
Concern cream " Kalina" got "unsatisfactory"
for a reason. There is little there from beautiful and “clean” names. The test showed that these are just chemical cocktails with such a high content of parabens that it becomes a shame for this company...
The full composition of all creams of the Kalina concern is not indicated on the company’s website with a description of the products. This completely “killed” me! Is no one really interested in what we put on ourselves? Why don’t manufacturers indicate the exact composition, but fool people with empty promises and descriptions of ingredients that are not even in the creams? And if there is, then in such small quantities that they definitely won’t “make you feel better”?
Girls, pay attention first of all to the composition, and only then to the action. After all, the instant (and only visible) softness of the skin appears due to several silicones and glycerin, produced, by the way, from oil waste. Natural oils Even if they are absorbed slowly, they definitely nourish the skin and do not cause harm. Moreover, there are natural creams, which will give you chic hands.
Preservatives are present in almost every cream, except natural ones.
The best hand cream - Results in tables
Ecotest advises:
- Cosmetics from natural companies such as Lavera, Logona, Sante and Weleda won. An alternative to expensive cosmetics, although certified to all standards, can be a cream from Natura Siberica.
- Girls, use pH-neutral soaps and lotions to wash your hands. Alkaline products, such as regular soap, neutralize the slightly “acidic” environment of the skin and destroy its natural protective mechanisms.
- When cleaning, washing dishes and other types of “manual” activities, use gloves, preferably without latex.
If you were interested in EcoTest Best Hand Cream, I recommend reading EcoTest Pro, in which I take a closer look at the best-selling varnishes and check their composition for harmful/useful ingredients.
Girls, which hand cream is the best for you? Do you have any favorites?
I will also always be happy to answer your questions.
See you later!!!
and my own research.
People try to take careful care of their face, but often don’t think about their hands at all. But it is precisely these places that contain very little subcutaneous adipose tissue and sebaceous glands, so they practically do not recover and are in great need of hydration.
In most cases, hand cream does not have a sunscreen effect and is recommended only for night use. During the day, the skin on your hands needs protection from the sun, which can be provided by a moisturizing sun protective cream. Of course, any moisturizer that is applied to the face or body can be used as a hand cream.
In fact, a hand cream with sunscreen properties is an excellent choice if you want a cream consistency similar to that of sunscreen, but want a less greasy texture. This product does not irritate the skin and makes it softer.
These properties have been shown in research to help restore skin's defenses while hydrating it at the same time. It is better to apply creams frequently; they are especially necessary after washing your hands, during temperature changes, for example, when moving from indoors to outdoors in winter, after completing household chores (in this case, gloves will help protect the skin of your hands).
After using this product, the girl will be pleasantly surprised by how much her skin will improve when daily use products with SPF. Sun protection is a must to prevent brown spots from forming.

Protective cosmetics for hand skin are usually intended for winter or, conversely, summer period when the skin needs additional protection from aggressive external factors.
