Fans of the ultra-luxe Cle de Peau know that the brand doesn't mess around when it comes to quality ingredients. Their luxurious hand cream has SPF 18, and incorporates ingredients like damask rosewater (which promotes collagen production), cherry leaf extract (which protects skin from oxidation), and rose fruit extract (which helps with brightening) to keep your hands looking youthful. Also, it smells every bit as delicious as you'd expect, and strikes the perfect balance between light and rich; hydrating and non-greasy.
Leave it to celebrity nail artist Deborah Lippmann to deliver on the hand cream front. With broad spectrum SPF 25, the Deborah Lippmann Rich Girl Hand Cream combines moisturizing shea butter with avocado and jojoba oil for soothing moisture that lasts through many a hand-washing. For continued SPF protection, though, you'll need to reapply after every hand washing.
Shiseido Benefiance WrinkleResist24 Protective Hand Revitalizer is another solid option -- it's made with the same powerful WrinkleResist24 technology that the rest of the Benefiance line has. It's also formulated with hyaluronic acid, an ingredient that has the unique ability to retain up to 1,000 times its weight in water, meaning, it goes a long way towards hydrating parched skin. It's got a light consistency so it won't leave your hands greasy -- and you'll see immediate results in terms of hydration, brightening and plumping.
Be it the beating rays of the dog days of summer, or the punishingly parching dead of winter, Ahava Time to Smooth Age Perfecting Hand Cream can help. It's got SPF 15 to offer some protection from the sun's rays, and it deeply moisturizes even when temperatures drop. Plus, it also helps with dark spots, dullness, and other signs of aging.
If you count yourself a fan of Clinique's cult favorite Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector, you'll want to give the hand cream version of the formula a try. It helps prevent damage with UVA/UVB protection, while also working to repair past discolorations.
