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.
Here's an ultra-luxe product for those looking to go to "Zoolander" hand model lengths to protect their hands: Sisleya Global Anti-Age Hand Care is richly moisturizing, and a decadent treat. Botanical ingredients like nasturtium petal extract, appleseed extract, harpagophytum extract, and licorice extract work together to help decrease the appearance of age spots, while both firming skin and keeping it soft and supple. Of course, it goes without saying that the luxuriously rich formula absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue -- and the light-yet-complex floral fragrance is downright heavenly.
