I suffer from really dry (and I mean chapped) hands during the winter months. If I don’t use gloves when the weather gets a bit chilly – like at the moment – I know that in a couple of days I will be paying for it with hands so dry that they hurt. About 15 years ago – and I cannot remember how – I happened to try Neutrogena Hand Cream and immediately fell in love with it. I swear it’s the best hand cream for dry hands there is and it does not break your budget either.
What I love about Neutrogena is that just a little dollop of it each night keeps my hands constantly smooth. If I forget to use it for a week, I can immediately notice my hands getting drier and I have to do double dozes for the next week, but then I am back on the track again. The great thing about Neutrogena is that even though it’s super moisturizing it does not leave any greasy residue. Don’t you just hate those hand creams (I have a couple specific and expensive ones in mind) that smell so good, but when you apply them on your hands you cannot touch anything for the next 30 minutes. And who wants to or has 30 minutes to wait for a hand cream to absorb? Nobody! Neutrogena absorbs completely within seconds.
I usually have several tubes of Neutrogena at home, so that I never run out. Because how painful and ugly are dry and chapped hands. Extremely! And I have a lot of experience in that! I don’t know which ones are more painful – chapped hands or lips. Ouch on both! Plus when my hands get really, really dry it takes quite a lot of time and nursing to get them smooth and soft again. So it’s better be a Girl Scout about it and make sure I never run out of Neutrogena Hand Cream. At the moment I have a pump bottle in the bathroom, a tube on my nightstand next to my bed, another tube in my desk drawer in my office and a miniature tube in my handbag for dry hands emergencies on the go.
If you want to join my ‘smooth hands with Neutrogena club’ you can buy Neutrogena basically everywhere like Boots, grocery stores and pharmacies or even online from Neutrogena. It costs around £2.89 (Boots.com) and comes in several consistencies and sizes. My absolutely favorite is the concentrated one. They even have an anti-aging one! If you ask me it’s definitely worth a try!
