Its not always so easy to find one good enough to keep around.
Hand creams are either too thick, or dont absorb well enough.
They can be too greasy and just feel like slime on your fingers (yuck).
Whats a gal to do?
Call a skin expert, of course.
Finding a feel-good, effective hand cream is all about knowing what key ingredients to look for.

If you think of building a house, you need bricks, you need mortar.
Those bricks arent going to stick together unless you have a good mortar.
Same thing for skin cells.
When the skin is dry, it cracks and you get transepidermal water loss.
Ceramides are the mortar that prevent that moisture loss.
As for what to avoid?
Fragrances and any added color if youve got sensitive skin, Dr. Frieling says.
Nowlets get to the good hand creams to actually buy, shall we?
I highly recommend the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream.

Its also fragrance-free and absorbs quickly, so it goes on without a trace.
That is my favorite of all time, because its really soothing and its healing.
This balm actually helps to repair my hands and they look human again.
In other words: Your hands will be pleased.
Its a must have in our handbags especially during winter.
The hand cream also has green tea to calm irritation and works with sensitive skin.
Besides ceramides, it includes prebiotic thermal water to help restore the skins microbiome, reducing dryness and roughness.
