Hand Creams
Hand cream is often underestimated but an essential step in every beauty routine: hands are exposed all day to water, detergents, cold and atmospheric agents that compromise their hydrolipidic film. This collection brings together 41 treatments — from protective formulas to ultra-light textures — designed to meet the needs of dry, cracked, stressed skin or simply in need of daily nourishment.
Morning: protection before facing the day
The ideal time to apply a protective hand cream is after your morning wash, before going out. Formulas like those with Argan oil and Shea butter — present in multiple references in the collection, from Sali di Ischia to Ischia Eau Thermale — create an emollient film that shields skin from external aggressions. Sauber Hand Cream with Propolis and Shea Butter is particularly recommended in cold months: propolis provides a protective action, while xylitol helps maintain hydration throughout the hours. For those who prefer quick-absorbing textures that can be applied before makeup or work, the Florinda Botteghe del Sole and BellaOggi Baby Hands lines offer light formulas that don't feel greasy.
During the day: hydration on the go
The 30 ml formats — Florinda Mosaici Italiani, BellaOggi Baby Hands in fruit variants, La Saponaria Eco — are designed exactly for this: bag, desk, drawer. Applying a hydrating hand cream each time you feel skin tightness prevents the formation of micro-cracks. The fragrances of the different lines — flowering citrus, wild apple, Sicilian almond, vanilla and cocoa — transform a functional gesture into a small sensory ritual. The Extrò Cosmesi Gin Tonic cream, with its original olfactory note, is ideal for those seeking an experience different from the classic floral.
Evening: regenerating night treatment
Night is when skin regenerates most actively. Applying a rich formula cream before sleep — such as Collistar Hand and Nail Repairing Day and Night Cream or Glysolid Classic Hand Cream with pure glycerin — allows ingredients to work without being removed by washing. To intensify the effect, Peggy Sage Hydrating Gloves can be worn over the cream: they occlude body heat and promote penetration of active ingredients, a classic at-home spa ritual to repeat once or twice a week.
Weekly rituals and gift sets
In addition to daily products, the collection includes gift sets designed to pamper yourself or gift to others: La Saponaria Vanilla Pampering and the Almonds and Red Fruits set combine hand creams and body treatments in formulas with coherent scents and ingredients. Saponificio Artigianale Fiorentino offers a set of three hand creams in lily of the valley, mimosa and lavender — perfect to keep in the bathroom, kitchen and desk. These formats also represent a concrete and versatile beauty gift idea.
How to choose the right hand cream
- Dry or cracked skin: prefer formulas with shea butter, glycerin or argan oil, such as Glysolid Classic or Ischia Eau Thermale 500 ml.
- Sensitive or reddened skin: opt for emollient textures with cashmere proteins or soothing extracts, such as Sali di Ischia Cashmere Protein.
- Frequent use and quick absorption: the light BellaOggi Baby Hands or Florinda Botteghe del Sole formulas absorb without greasy residue.
- Nail treatment: Collistar Hand and Nail Repairing Cream also works on the nail plate, strengthening it.
- Environmental awareness: La Saponaria Eco offers formulas with natural ingredients in sustainable packaging.
Incorporating hand cream into your daily routine is just as important as caring for your face. To complete the ritual, also explore the categories dedicated to hydrating body creams, nail treatments and nail polish, and foot care products: together they form a complete skincare routine for the neck down.
