Without question, L'Occitane have the best hand creams, the Almond version I go through tube after tube after tube. The latest addition to the line up is something a little different with the Serum-in-Cream Youth Hand Cream.
Described as being an innovative serum-in-cream formula, the Youth Hand Cream is a fusion of the nourishing benefits of shea butter (5%) and age-defying technology of the immortelle flower to diminish the visible signs of ageing on hands. I am sure like everyone else, over the last 20 months, the over washing and sanitising of hands has taken its toll and whilst I am already obsessed with applying handcream, this has only meant I have been applying more.
With the inclusion of Shea butter which is famous for its nourishing and moisturising properties, it has Immortelle Extract and Immortelle Essential Oil which are said to be more effective than Vitamin E when it comes to protecting the skin, it is also has a high content of Omegas 9 & 6 which when they are all together, not only do they help to reduce the appearance of the visible signs of ageing but also increase the elasticity of the skin. Then we have Hibiscus which helps to encourage skin renewal, but as an ingredient it is usually used for its ability to help with hyperpigmentation and dead skin cells.
On the skin, this serum-in-cream has a slightly lighter texture than the L'Occitane hand creams but feels absolutely divine on the skin and absorbs really quickly and leaves behind a lovely light fragrance. It is worth noting that this cream is neither greasy or tacky on the skin and it boasts 97% natural origin ingredients and is housed in a 95% recycled aluminium tube.
Priced at £24 with L'Occitane, it is worth trying if your hands are in need of some TLC and I have also used it on my elbows and around my wrists which have been really dry lately and it is an absolute dream.
