Good Hand Cream you may have missed

What I keep buying in winter includes warming underwear, hydrating mask and hand cream. Honestly Hong Kong is not a dry place but if you stay in office all day long, the air conditioning dries your skin. My hands feel dry especially after washing in winter. Hence you can always see a hand cream on my office desk. :>

There are quite a lot of hand care choices on Sasa.com, including Crabtree & Evelyn’s, Jurlique’s and Vaseline’s. Beside these well-known hand cares, you may have missed these nice hand treatments just because their brands are less discussed.

Papilio
Hand Massage Essence

Sasa.com Price: US$12.60
Papilio,Japan,hand cream,hand massage
An excellent hand massage treatment made in Japan AND, reasonably priced. Its ingredients sound great as well: botanical extracts such as ginseng and licorice root while it’s free of colorant and fragrance.

I guess the only con is that it’s rather a small tube. I didn’t use it often. Just a few times a week for a complete hand massage. After massage, my hands did RECOVER.

Why is hand massage necessary? You’ll know if you work at office all day, sitting still in front of a PC, moving your mouse and typing with keyboards…How tiring!

Part Hartmann
MENALIND Hand Cream

Sasa.com Price: US$8.40

An intensive dry hand treatment from Germany, besides the hit Herbacin Wuta Kamille Glycerin Hand Moisturizing Cream. Compared to Herbacin’s, Hartmann’s Menalind Hand Cream is less discussed and yet so satisfying to users that many of them re-purchase this fantastic cream.

Like many other hand creams from the West, Hartmann’s Menalind Hand Cream has a rich texture. Luckily it’s super easy to absorb. Moreover, since the producer is mainly a medical & rehab company, the hand cream formula richly contains active ingredients.

What I like most about this hand treatment is its large tube size priced less than 10 US dollars. The amount is more than enough even if you use it a few times a day throughout the winter!
