hand cream
Best in test
Our hands say a lot about us, how well we care for them. Signs of ageing are often visible early and clearly on dehydrated hands. In winter, cold and dry indoor air depletes the skin's moisture balance and without help, hands do not receive enough nourishment and moisture. This results in dry and chapped skin. With a good hand cream, you can solve the problem in a jiffy. Choose one that absorbs quickly into the skin and doesn't leave a film.
Gents has tested different hand creams and here are our 4 favourites.
the winner: FLORIS CHYPRESS HAND cream
Why we like it: A hand cream that was a firm favourite with the test panel. The cream is filled with moisture instead of grease, which means it goes into the skin immediately. It's enriched with vitamin E, which helps with skin cell renewal, and aloe vera, which has a calming effect. With a warm bubbly scent of Chypress, citrus and sweet flowers.
no 2: Benjamin Barber Hand Lotion
Why we like it: At last, the masculine-scented Benjamin Barber hand cream is available in Oud and Saffron & Leather. The easy-to-use cream goes quickly into the hands. Big plus for the easy-to-use formula. Those with extremely dry / cracked hands can choose an even greasier cream.
Comes in 300 ml which fits perfectly in the bathroom or on the desk, the more difficult to take with you. The hand cream therefore ends up in an honourable second place.
no 3: Jukon cream
Why we like it: This is an ointment for really dry and rough hands. It contains more grease than moisture and therefore leaves a light film on the hands. Suitable for men who may work outdoors, have their hands in water often (grease repels water) and do not want to spend a fortune on creams. Also works on feet, elbows and other body parts that need softening. Tip: Apply plenty of cream to your feet in the evening, put on socks and sleep with them on to protect the sheets. When you wake up in the morning, your feet will be like new!
no 4: Norwegian Formula Hand cream
Why we like it: A good, simple cream for men who want good value for money. It absorbs quite quickly into the skin and has a neutral, fresh scent. Great hand cream!
