We care a lot about our face and body but often overlook our hard-working hands. Taking that extra bit of time to nourish them can make a whole lot of difference.
Thankfully, Boots has dropped prices on over 60 skincare and bodycare products – including Elizabeth Arden’s famous Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment.
Reduced from £28 to just £10, the 75ml full-size hand cream has been dubbed the « best hand cream ever tried » by many five-star reviewers. With the award-winning formula of the Original Eight Hour Cream, the advanced skincare solution « intensely hydrates your skin and seals in moisture » as the soothing lavender scent helps to soothe the senses.
The non-greasy hand ceam works to smooth rough and weather-exposed skin while reversing signs of dryness and leave their hands soft once more.
A long-time Elizabeth Arden fan said: « I’ve used this for over thirty years, it’s simply the best go to for uber dry skin. Helps heal scars too. A little goes a long way! »
Another said the Boots deal could be « the lowest price ever », adding: « £10 for Elizabeth Arden hand cream is unreal. It’s a thicker cream. I have dry and eczema prone skin. I actually had a flare up not long after I bought this. I thought I’d try this rather than my steroid cream. It worked wonders. Made my eczema die down within a few days. »
A third shared her thoughts: « I have tried hand creams from many different brands – some expensive, some budget. But this cream really does what it says and it doesn’t leave any grease marks on my phone. It’s absorbed well and quickly hydrates my hands. »
But some were put off by the scent as a shopper mentioned: « The texture is nice but it smells like oregano. Really. And strong. Couldn’t wait to wash it off. »
A second added: « Makes my hands soft, improves my nails, removes chapping I often get even in summer. However, I haven’t given five stars as it smells horrendous, somewhere between herbal rosemary and cats (which I love, but can sometimes smell terrible!) I will buy it in future, but only using when staying home. »
L’Occitane’s Almond Delicious Hands, £19 for 75ml, smells exactly as what it says – a sweet almond scent and a silky-smooth cream that helps to nourish and soften the hand.
If you’re after more fragranced options, you might want to try the Byredo Gypsy Water Hand Cream, £30, or Diptyque’s the Art of Hand Care travel set, £42, which includes a hand wash, hand lotion and rinse-free hand wash.
