Winter is knocking on our doors. As the weather gets cooler, we face the start of chapped lips and hands.
During the winter months, despite my intense urge to hibernate until it's all over, I often find my lips and hands are the things that suffer most. Finding a hand cream that stops my cuticles from peeling leading me to bite them off and make it all worse and also keep my hands hydrated but not greasy or oily, can be a challenge in itself.
Lips wise, keep your eyes peeled for the next post, but for today we are talking about my three favourite hand creams.
Clarins Hand and Nail €19.80 (Debenhams)
Although it's in the higher price bracket of hand creams, this one is well worth the investment. The smell, the texture, the results! This one is a constant in my handbag during the winter months.

Yope Hand Cream €8.99
What I love about this hand cream, aside from the cute packaging, of course, is that its made from natural ingredients. The range is brand new to Ireland and comes in three fragrance options: Ginger and Sandalwood, Tea and Mint, and Salvia and Green Caviar. The products contain 98% natural or low processed ingredients most of which are skin friendly oils and plant extracts. And the best part is it's non-sticky yet super hydrating.
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream €23

This shea butter enriched hand cream is a good old reliable. The ingredients are rich and hydrating for the depths of winter. What I also love about this hand cream is that it also comes in a handbag size that costs about a tenner. It fits perfectly in pockets and small handbags which is excellent for nights out and the wintery hill walks we promise ourselves we'll take one weekend.
