Customer Review AHAVA

I've been flying this lotion from Israel for years - it's absolutely amazing. It can really help deal with cracked or irritated skin, and it keeps on working. It is not as "watery" as many cheaper american brands, so your hands won't feel as moistureised right away, but it works a lot better long term.

Hand Cream Product : Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream

Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream Description

The indispensable hand and nail treatment cream formulated to preserve the smooth, supple appearance of hands.

Customer Review Clarins Hand & Nail Treatment Cream

I love this hand cream and have been through many tubes of it. I recently went without it and really missed it. My hands didn't look as supple and my nails cracked. This cream really softens and even diminishes sun spots. Hands feel very moisturized and it sinks in leaving only smoothness and not a slick feeling. It also softens cuticles. It is expensive but it does wonders for the hands and nails. I've tried less expensive brands and realize this has spoiled me.

Customer Review The Body Shop

I found this hand lotion when I was working at a coffee shop and I had to wash my hands constantly. All that washing really dries out your hands and most lotions are gone the first washing. This lotion is water resistant so it will stay on longer. It absorbes into the skin pretty quickley, so it doesn't leave you with greasy hands forever like a lot of heavy hand creams. I recomended this lotion to a coworker and she liked so much she thought it should be given to everyone on their first day as part of the uniform. Plus the lotion contains kinetin which is supposed to keep your skin looking young.

Hand Cream Product : Sisley Botanical Hand Cream

Sisley Botanical Hand Cream

Product Description

Contains natural plant extracts. Easy absorbed by the skin. Helps to relieve the feeling of dryness. Maintains skin tone. Helps protect and keep hands soft, supple, and younger looking.

Customer Review Sisley Botanical Hand Cream

I have incredibly dry hands and have been searching for an effective, fast-absorbing, non-greasy hand cream to use at the office, which necessarily means it cannot have an overpowering scent. This is one of the best I have found so far. It certainly absorbs quickly. The scent is not particularly appealing, which is disappointing for a Sisley product. It smells basically like hand cream, with a little note of honey (to my nose, at least). The scent is subtle, so it doesn't really matter. My concern is moisterizing and not age-minimizing, so it does the former but I haven't really paid attention to the latter. It retains a slightly greasy feel, but not so bad that it can't be used at the office. My hands also feel softer. I don't think it's worth the price tag, so four stars for that.

Hand Cream Product : Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream

Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream

Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream Description

This rich, non-greasy cream is enriched with Lavender Essential Oil Instantly moisturizes & soothes driest, severely chapped hands Delicately scented to give exceptional comfort Formulated of natural herbal antioxidants & plant based ingredients Leaves skin & cuticles velvety soft, smooth & supple Ideal to use before gardening, housework


Customer Review Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream

For the past 35 years I have been plagued with horribly dry skin on my hands during the winter months (I would wreck my nylons trying to put them on because they would snag so badly on my hands - the texture of which was the equivalent of 80 grit sandpaper), with the skin painfully splitting on the ends of my fingers and around the cuticles. I have probably tried hundreds of products to combat the problem, and had never found anything that provided sustained relief and healing. I tried some trial sizes of the Jurlique Lavender Hand Cream, and the Jurlique Rose Hand Cream, and was completely astounded at the results of both. Within 24 hours my hands felt better, and within one week they were healed, smooth, and supple. My husband also had the same problems, so I got him to try the Lavender Hand Cream. While I prefer the smell of the Rose cream, (it definitely smells like a rose!!) there was no way he was going to walk around smelling like a rose, so he was willing to try the Lavender. He was also amazed at how quickly his hands healed. As another reviewer noted, the product is quite pricey, so it's not something you are going to readily whip out and share with folks (unless you have the money to burn) but I am willing to pay the money to keep the usual winter agony of grossly dry hands at bay. A little goes a long way, so if one considers that a tube of this will last as long as any number of cheaper products that you have to use twice as much of, it all evens out in the long run. It is not greasy or oily, and soaks into your hands very fast. AND THERE ARE NO PARABENS! They do not use preservatives in the products, which means you do not have to worry about all sorts of unpronounceable chemicals being put on your skin. That does mean, however, that there will be expiration dates on their products, but quite frankly, I don't mind in the least. I would recommend these hand creams to EVERYONE!!

Customer Review Philosophy - amazing grace

I love Philosophy products! This cream works wonders on my hands and I love that it is not greasy. The hand cream absorbs into the skin quickly, leaving you with smooth and soft hands. The downfall is that it is pricey. A one ounce tube for $15 doesn't last very long. Also, the Amazing Grace scent does not translate the same in this cream as it does the other Amazing Grace products. However, it works so well, it is worth the money.

Customer Review philosophy hand made

Look no further than Handmade for the moisture your hands crave. First the texture of this cream is luscious, creamy and very rich. Secondly, one smell and you will want this fragrance to last the whole day long. Three, only the finest of moisturizing ingredients are used, including the expensive and hard-to-find pure shea butter. Nature and technology have melded into the creation of one of the finest hand creams you will ever use.

The only reason I didn't say 5 stars is because it does not contain anything with which to exfoliate dead skin cells. Philosophy has another product, Time On Your Hands, that does. Put these two in conjunction with each other or regularly exfoliate before applying Handmade. Either way in a matter of days the skin on your hands will be baby soft. The writer of this review has chronic severely dry hands. I can attest to the purity and quality of this hand cream.

Customer Review The Body Shop Hemp Hand Protector

I used to be addicted to vaseline intensive care lotion - but that is because the formula vaseline uses is designed to make you dependant by actually replacing your natural oils with toxic petrollium and your skin stops healing itself... but now that I have found skin food I will never go back to chemicals!!! It smells so yummy and it is called exactly what it is - your skin is eating it for food. I put it on my hands mostly, but a few times a day I will massage it into my face and my skin glows! my acne has disappeared and when I wash my face I can feel the lotion still protecting my skin - like an extra layer of moisture. Great Great product and the smell is intoxicating.

I swear I refuse to try any other hand cream since I have started using this. And ever since my work colleagues have tried this, I had to start hiding the tube in my drawer as they just like to help themselves each time they come over to my desk. That's how good it is! You will absolutely adore this product!

Hand Treatment

A Quick Hand Treatment
 
Hands are the most visible parts of you, but they also take a lot of abuse. You use them in everyday activity, and yet, they are the ultimate accessory. You must give them the same attention you give your face.
* Soften your hands even while you do the dishes. Add a little almond oil (about a teaspoon) to dishwater. The water will soften rought skin while the oil seals the moisture.
* Slough off dead skin cells with a solution made of sea salt lemon. Brush it into hands with an old toothbrush. Do this twice a week to soften hands and remove discoloration.
* Wash hands thoroughly with warm water, then, using a coarse washcloth, rub briskly. While skin is slightly damp, apply a mixture of one teaspoon honey and one teaspoon olive oil. Place hands in small plastic bags, then in a pair of cotton gloves for thirty minutes. The heat helps the treatment penetrate.
* Warm a cup of milk in the microwave for thirty seconds (or until warm, but comfortable to the touch). Soak your hands for five minutes to strengthen nails and hydrate skin. Not only is milk loaded with lactic acid, a natural alpha hydroxy acid that gently exfoliates dead skin, but its high calcium content will strengthen fragile nails.

Hand care tips

• For rough hands take a tspn of sugar and lemon juice. Rub palms till sugar dissolves. Wash of with cold water.
• For rough hands boil potatoes, peel them before they get cold. Rub the pulp on hand and fingers.
• Mix a few drops of lemon juice and glycerine in whole milk cream. Rub on your hands and fingers at night.
• Wash your hands with lemon juice mixed water.
• Glycerine mixed with rose water or cucumber juice rubbed on hands cleans the skin.
• Massage hands and fingers with almond oil at night.

Strengthening Your Hands

This is a hand-strengthening exercise program, and this is what came of it. The main ingredient in the exercises is a hand exerciser like the one shown below. They can be found in any sporting goods store and shouldn't cost more than $4-5. Once you have one of these (you may have something like it laying around), you can proceed to the exercises below.

Strenghtening Your Fingers

This exercise is designed to strengthen your fingers. It is very simple, and is depicted in the diagram below:

Simply hold the exersizer in your hand, as shown above, and squeeze. It will take a while to get the actual orientation exactly right, but it will come. Now simply squeeze and release the exercizer rapidly until you can't do it anymore. Repeat 2-4 times every day every day, and your hand will be much stronger in no time. After your hand has reached your desired strength level, don't stop using the exerciser; keep using it at least once a day to maintain that strength.

Strenghtening Your Thumb

This exercise is designed to strengthen your thumb. I had a problem with cramping in my hand after playing a lot of barre chords, and this exercise ended that problem. It is as easy as the last one, and is depicted in the diagram below:
Just hold the exerciser betwen your thumb and fingers, as shown above, then squeeze in and release. Do it until your arm gets tired or until your hand cramps. Repeat 2-3 times a day, possibly alternating with the exercise above. Like the exercise above, don't stop after you think you are strong enough; keep doing it to maintain that strength.

Anti-aging Hand Care

When you hear about wrinkles and skin aging, your first thoughts are about face and neck. But the earliest signs of aging will show on your hands. Hands need to be regularly taken care of, they will give away your age earlier than your pampered face.

Hand cream is a must have for your hands. Keep it in the bathroom, the bedroom and the kitchen. Use it!

Take care of your nails too. This starts with drinking enough water and eating a healthy diet. But here are a few more tips:

NEVER cut your cuticles. Keep them from drying out by using a good hand cream and hand soaks, then push them gently back with a cuticle/orange stick. Once you do this if you notice any white residue you can gently rub the area to remove this, but no cutting.

When you do cut your nails or hang nails make sure the clippers and other tools are very sharp so they don't tear as you trim. Always trim neat and clean-not too deep. Once you get them cut, try filing weekly instead of cutting. Use the file in one direction to avoid splitting and use a good quality file. If you maintain your nails this way you may not have cut them. Use gentle hand treatments to soften your skin and your cuticles. Here are a few you can make yourself:

Rosewater Hand Massage

You'll need:

* 1 tsp. glycerin
* 1 tsp. lemon juice
* 5 drops rose water

Mix together and keep in a small bottle. Use to massage your hands for 15-30 minutes. Don't forget the cuticles!

Nail Soak

You'll need:

* 1 cup bottled water
* juice of one lemon
* 1 tablespoon aloe vera gel
* 10 drops lemon essential oil

Mix all together and use as a finger soak for about ten minutes on each hand.

Nail Manicure Treatment

You'll need:

* 1 Tbsp. distilled water, slightly warmed
* 1 Tbsp. witch hazel
* 1 1/2 tsp. honey
* 1/2 tsp. alum powder

Mix above in a glass bowl. Soak nails for 10-15 minutes, occasionally massaging cuticles gently. Rinse with cool water. Use for both hands, then discard.

How to Care Your Hands

The condition of the hands depends on the care you give them. The skin on the back of the hands is soft and thin and prone to early wrinkling. Whereas the skin on the palm is thick and tough. The palm has no sebaceous glands, thus no natural lubrication thus they can become dry and rough.

* After your bath or any washing , always massage your hands with a lubricating cream. In fact, barrier creams should always be used when tackling particularly dirty and greasy jobs.
* Get into the habit of giving yourself a weekly manicure, which will make your hands look good along with helping them to combat annoying problems like chipping, splitting, peeling and cracking.
* If your nails persistently split and chip, then they probably need strengthening by regular use of one of the many nail hardeners in the market.
* Every night, before bedtime, massage your hands with a cream for few minutes.
For an emergency treatment for coarse, rough skin, apply cream lavishly at bed time and go to sleep with cotton gloves on.

Exercising the hands can help to make them flexible and improve circulation. Try performing these exercise at least 6-10 times a day.

1. Clench your fists tightly for a second and then throw open the fingers as wide as possible.
2. Place hands in front of you, palm down. Press the fingers tightly against each other and then thrust them apart as widely as possible.
3. Allow the hands to be limp and relaxed. Then rotate them from the wrist in circles, first clockwise and then anticlockwise.

You can give an instant refresh treatment to your hands at home by soaking your dry hands in warm olive oil. Fill a teacup with the warmed oil, dip in your fingers and let them soak for a few minutes. When you remove them rub the oil into your hands and allow as much of it as possible to be absorbed before rinsing away the excess. Alternatively, you can smother your hands with rich cold creams.

Essential Tips For Hand Care

It is often said that our hands will say a great deal about us. Many people work with their hands, or use their hands to do the things that their lives and livelihood depends on. No matter what, our hands are a big part of our lives, and how they look can often influence our mood or show our age. It is important that we take good care of our hands, and there are ways that you can make sure your hands look good and that you feel good about it.

First of all, there are lotions that are specially made for use on your hands. These are usually a bit thicker than lotions that are made for the rest of your body, and they contain special nutrients that are just for your hands. These lotions should be applied daily so that your skin will stay soft and smooth and you will be able to show off your hands all of the time!

Another factor in hand care is making sure that you protect your hands from the elements. If you live in a place that has a lot of wind, your hands might be prone to getting chapped. When this happens, they might be dry and red and irritated. It is also important to use a soothing lotion on your hands every day to prevent this, and to be sure to protect your hands from the elements by wearing gloves when you are outside.

The nails are an important part of your hands, and caring for your nails is very important. You should keep your nails clean and filed so that they do not snag on anything. They will look nicer if they are clean and filed, and your hands in general will look nicer when you take care of your nails. Putting a clear polish on your finger nails is a good way to make sure that they remain strong and healthy.

It is important that you remember that good nail care is something which will effect the way that your hands look, and therefore the way that you appear in general.

Our hands do a lot of work for us, so in order to care for them, you should make sure that you baby them once in a while. There are special peels that you can use on your hands, which are like masques for your face. You can put these things on your hands and let them dry. Once the substance has dried on your hands, you can peel it away, and you will be taking off dry and flaky skin, leaving only soft and smooth skin behind.
