Hand Cream Essentials

Fashion Tips

Hey Lykkers! My hands get dry pretty easily, especially because I’m constantly washing them throughout the day. At this point, having a hand cream nearby feels less like a beauty extra and more like a little daily habit.

I’ve tried quite a few, but these three are the ones I’ve been reaching for lately.

1. Sol de Janeiro Hand Cream

This one is probably my favorite when I want my hand cream to feel a little more special. The fragrance is definitely the strongest out of the three, so it’s worth keeping in mind if strong scents aren’t really your thing. Personally, I love it. Even though the scent eventually fades, I still enjoy that little burst of fragrance every time I put it on. It’s the hand cream I grab when I want moisture and that fun, scented experience.

2. Glossier Hand Cream

The Glossier hand cream has that familiar Glossier You scent, and honestly, it’s such a pretty everyday fragrance. I’ve actually been debating whether I should pick up the perfume because I like the scent that much. Compared with Sol de Janeiro, this one is much softer and more subtle. It doesn’t announce itself when applied, which I actually like when I’m working or going somewhere and don’t want a strong fragrance following me around.

3. La Roche-Posay Hand Cream

For days when my hands need something more practical, I reach for La Roche-Posay. This one is unscented and has more of a balm-like texture, but it settles down nicely without leaving my hands feeling sticky. My favorite place to use it is around my knuckles. That area can get especially dry from frequent handwashing, and I like having something gentle and straightforward to apply whenever it starts feeling rough.

Honestly, all three have a different place in my routine: Sol de Janeiro for the scent, Glossier for something soft and pretty, and La Roche-Posay for those extra-dry days.
