“I’m a beauty journalist and here are the 4 hand creams that I don’t take off during the winter”

The hands are one of the areas of our body that we don’t hydrate enough, but it’s ultimately in winter that they really make us pay for it by becoming ultra dry and uncomfortable. It is less known, but the skin on our hands is naturally less hydrated than the rest of our body, because it has few follicles secreting sebum (which is our body’s natural moisturizing substance). Yet very exposed to the cold in winter, this part of our body requires our full attention when the cold and bad weather drastically dry it out and alter its natural protective hydrolipidic film.

This is why it is essential to moisturize your hands daily, or even several times a day if your hands are dry in winter to protect your skin from the cold. To do this, you can bet on the best cream to moisturize your hands this winter according to the UFC Que Choisir, which will only cost you 7 euros, but also bet on effective hand creams, tested and approved by the editorial staff. I present to you without further ado 3 hand creams perfect for winter which never leave me when it’s cold.

Hemp protective hand balm from The Body Shop

What I like about this pomade-textured cream is that its formula is very comforting. It, which is a bestseller for the brand, was recently reformulated to be even more natural than before and that’s great. From now on, it contains 97% ingredients of natural origin, but still contains the famous hemp seed oil which has made it famous and effective, rich in fatty acids and protective to strengthen the skin’s hydrolipidic film. But I also have to remember that it also contains ultra-nourishing shea butter and sesame oil. Don’t hesitate to try it if you have very dry and rough hands, it overcomes them. The proof: 1 tube of this hand cream is sold every 12 seconds worldwide!

Cicavit+ hand cream from SVR Laboratoire

It is the ideal cream if you tend to have chapped hands from the cold and your skin has difficulty healing. A true 2-in-1, it repairs and protects from bad weather to permanently repair damaged hands. I reserve it for SOS cases but if you have constantly cracked hands, it can become your everyday cream. Formula side, its effectiveness is easily explained by its combination of highly nourishing vegetable oils and butters which have a film-forming effect to well insulate the skin, as well as prebiotic sugar which accelerates the repair of the skin to quickly regain comfort.

Payot Velvet Hand Cream

I love this hand treatment with a very enveloping and nourishing texture that I have just discovered and which is very sensory! What I like most is that its very cocooning formula leaves no sticky finish on the surface of the hands once applied. It leaves a powdery “velvet effect” finish that is very soft to the touch. But the must is its formula specifically tested in very cold conditions which manages to nourish dry and damaged hands in winter. Bonus: its very relaxing scent is very pleasant with its notes of lotus flower and cedar which go hand in hand with its “soft” texture.

Biotherm Biomains Cream

I really like its lotion and serum for the face with plankton of life, but the Biotherm brand also contains gems in its body care products which are also worth the detour. This is particularly the case with this hand cream which is specially designed to prevent our skin from drying out and becoming uncomfortable. Not sticky once applied, it is quickly absorbed by the skin, smells good and does not leave a greasy film on the hands. Thanks to its algae extracts which soften the skin and leave it delicately satiny, I keep my hands very soft and prettier, and I also take care of my nails at the same time since its formula strengthens them. This is super practical in winter when they too are exposed to the ambient cold.
