We often have a detailed skincare routine for our face, but our hands rarely receive the same attention. From frequent handwashing and sanitising to exposure to sunlight, dust, cold weather and household cleaning products, our hands go through a lot every day. This can leave the skin feeling dry, rough and tight. Depending on the formulation, hand creams may contain ingredients such as glycerin, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, squalane, urea or natural oils. These ingredients can help attract moisture to the skin, reduce moisture loss and improve the feel of dry or rough hands. Frequent washing and exposure to detergents can weaken the skin barrier. A moisturising hand cream can help support this barrier by providing hydration and replenishing skin-softening ingredients. Nivea Anti-Age Q10 Plus Hand Cream combines everyday hydration with ingredients aimed at caring for the appearance of ageing hands. Formulated with Q10, it helps moisturise dry skin while making hands feel smoother and more supple. Regular use can help hands look cared for and soft, which is particularly useful as the skin on the hands can become drier and show signs of ageing over time. I like it as a simple addition to a daily hand-care routine when hydration and skin-smoothing benefits are both a priority.
