Nourishing Hand & Foot Creams

With summer on the horizon, now’s the time to get hands and feet looking their best. Plus, with everyone spending extra time at home, what better moment to enjoy a DIY mani/pedi? Creams full of nourishing ingredients are essential for keeping skin soft and nails in good health and should be the first step in any treatment. Try incorporating them into a relaxing massage ritual at the end of the day, to help you wind down.

Vanilla & Orange Peel Hand Cream 65ml£ 17

Grown Alchemist’s hand cream tops my list in terms of smell, texture and effectiveness. It has a non-greasy, velvety texture that sinks into skin quickly, leaving hands feeling soft and nourished. The sweet orange scent is at once uplifting and relaxing. I use this as an evening treat and always have it on my nightstand, ready to apply.

Foot Beauty Treatment Cream, 125ml£ 25

I have been using Clarins’ cult foot cream for years and recently discovered that it is podiatrist-recommended. With good reason, too – the classic formula delivers intense nourishment to feet, leaving them smooth and soft. After my evening shower, I apply, then put on socks to lock the cream in.

Petro loves

Repair and Brighten Hand Cream, 75ml£ 28

I’ve fallen in love with the fresh scent of this hand cream from Aurelia, which is perfect for spring. I apply it every morning and evening after my skincare routine and find it almost like an aromatherapy ritual, so soothing is the smell. The light, fast-absorbing texture means hands aren’t left slippery, but rather soft and nourished.

Soothing Foot Balm, 75ml£ 11.95

I tend to get dry heels so require a heavy-duty cream to heal and soften. My go-to has long been Weleda’s foot balm, which does just that. I massage it in before bed, then put on a pair of socks to intensify the treatment. In the morning, my feet look as good as new.
