Hand Cream Heroes ft. Nivea

As a hand cream fiend, I like to have one in my handbag and one on my bedside table at all times and being a huge fan of Nivea, I was excited to see their recently relaunched range! Through the winter, I feel myself reaching for hand cream more often than usual because of things like central heating drying my hands out as well as just generally washing my hands a lot. These all serve to make my hands a little more delicate so I’m glad I’m set for the next few months with these beauties!

The Nivea Express Care hand cream* (RRP £2.99) has an ultralight formula with natural Sea Minerals for an instant moisture boost. The Nivea Smooth Care hand cream* (RRP £2.99) with shea butter makes hands smooth all day long and the Nivea Anti-age care hand cream* (RRP £3.89) with Q10 and UV filters visibly reduces the first signs of aging with regular use. There is a total of five hand creams in the range also including a nourishing care with almond oil and a repair care with provitamin B5 so there’s more than enough to choose from!

All three Nivea hand creams I have offer 24-hour care, intense nourishment and protection from the winter elements and I love how quickly each of the creams sink in! A massive pet peeve of mine when it comes to hand cream are those that leave my hands feeling oily or greasy after its been rubbed in but these are so moisturising and offer instant relief from dryness without feeling sticky or like they don’t absorb!

The hand creams have slightly different scents but all are lightweight and have that classic Nivea freshness underpinned! The new pebble-like packaging fits perfectly in the palm of my hand and has a NARS-esque rubberised feel making it lovely and soft to hold. No more sharp edges here!

For comparison, I’ve popped my current handbag hand cream against the new version – my old one is a mini 30ml tube while the new versions I have are 75ml so you can see how compact they are!

I can’t recommend Nivea hand creams enough, they are so good at what they promise to do, sink in quickly and leave my hands feeling soft and hydrated for hours, as well as being super affordable!  

The hand creams are available at most leading retailers including Boots where it’s currently 1/3 off! What’s your favourite hand cream?
