Like The Back Of Your Hand

The number one thing to give away a womans age is her hands. You've seen those botox filled foreheads and plumped up restylane lips. But have you looked south to their diamond covered fingers?

Our hands age the fastest due to a few reasons, the first one being we use them the most. Our hands muscles and skin move more than those on our faces. Age spots also known as liver spots and wrinkles caused by free radicals are the tell take signs that we are aging.

When looking for a hand cream, you want to make sure that vitamin E is a key ingredient. This powerful vitamin helps fight aging, and its antioxidants protect against those nasty free radicals. Mositurizing every day is a life long fact engraved in womens brains but many negect their hands. It also doesnt hurt to use a sugar based hand scrub once a week. For a home made scrub, combine lemon, which can brighten your skin giving it a youthful glow, olive oil known for its healthy benefits, and sugar.

Below are some brands of hand creams that consumers, including myself have tested and reviewed about.

Vaseline Intensive Rescue Healing Cream $6.49

Their commercial where they give the cream to hard working Alaskans is a good marketing tool to luring viewers to believe its seriously intensive. But is it?

Some testers say that it does the job of healing dry skin, but many including myself dont seem to love the watery consistency which is not what you'd expect when watching the commercial.

Gold Bond Ultimate Skin Therapy Lotion with Shea Butter $8.99

This brand known for its skin creams, has one good product on their hands. It got high ratings from most consumers, claiming that its rich texture is not greasy and great for cuticles, rough feet, knees and elbows. This is my number one pick. I use it all the time. It absorbs quickly and leaves a silky soft feeling. It is very thick so if you prefer less rich formulas, this isn't for you. My best tip for rough feet, is to apply a rediculous thick coat and sleep overnight with socks. You will wake up with brand new skin on your walkers!

Kiehl's Unusually Rich-But Not Greasy At All-Hand Cream with SPF 10 $15.50

Yup, that is the real name and to some it is misleading because claims are, that it is actually not that rich. Instead, more watery than expected. But alot of users like it's subtle pleasant fragerant and athletic women love it for its SPF. Some say that it's not worth the pricey tag and not fit for winter months.

Crab Tree & Evelyn La Source Hand Therapy Cream $14

With its beautiful packaging and old fashioned metal tube this cream is one to be picked up quickly by women. But when dry skin got a dose, complaints were a long list, from feeling like crisco and leaving a slimy residue, to having a awful after stench. Good thing its wrapped up like pretty puppy, otherwise this cream would not sell.

Eucerine Plus Intensive Repair Hand Cream $5.29

Women went gaga over this fantastic moisturizer, even after reporting that it takes a few minutes to absorb. And the PLUS in the name must be referring to the fact that there is no need to reapply after washing hands. I give this one a thumbs up for being a classic good ol' hand cream.
