While we are hardly the type to advocate for overconsumption, it remains an undisputed fact that everyone needs a hand cream. Think about it: unlike other parts of your body, your digits are constantly exposed, leaving them more vulnerable to environmental and chemical damage caused by everything from too-harsh soaps to brutal sun-rays. This, thus, results in cracked skin, dryness, flaking, and more; an affliction best resolved with nourishing hand creams designed primarily to reinstate lost moisture. Other supplementary functions include bolstering skin barrier function as well as exuding a pleasant aroma—the latter of which is particularly enticing to fragrance buffs who like to add an extra layer of nuance to their scents of choice.
Admittedly, there is no shortage of stellar hand creams in the market. Finding the right one that ticks all the boxes, however, is where the challenge lies. Fret not—in that regard, the Vogue Singapore beauty team is here to provide. Below, a comprehensive rundown of the best formulas out there, all of which are categorised according to scent and flavour profile. Should fresh odours be your preference, look to our curation of citrusy-centric fusions that feature fan-favourite ingredients in the vein of tangerine alongside more far-flung options such as blackcurrant. There is, of course, our best floral picks as well, and musky concoctions that are crafted to intrigue upon first sniff.
Spy our full edit here—and for the adventurous folk, we say take this as a sign to give a new olfactory concoction a spin. After all, as the saying goes: fortune favours the bold.
