Usually, I do not suffer too much from dry skin, but as the weather gets colder the skin on my hands starts to feel super dry and itchy. The situation gets even worse after the usage of cleaning products and hands soap daily. The only thing that seems to fix the problem is a nice moisturizing hand cream. A pair of soft, woolen mittens also protect the skin from severe winter surroundings. Inspired by cold weather and dry skin, I've decided to pick my top three inexpensive hand creams for cold weather. Let's take a look!

Madame Glamour Hand Cream by Cien


I would like to start with Cien Madame Glamour hand cream. It is the newest addition to my cold-weather skincare collection and my favorite hand cream at the moment. Cien Beauty is a budget-friendly skincare and beauty brand that is owned by the German retailer, Lidl. The brand is known for its high-quality, effective products that are made with natural ingredients.

Cien is a hand moisturizer with a lightweight formula (the main ingredient is water). It has a gorgeous fragrance, which I can enjoy all day long. Madame Glamour by Cien has an incredible formula that keeps the skin smooth and nourished for a good 5-7 hours. The cream absorbs immediately into the skin and doesn't leave a greasy residue on the hands. Madame Glamour is an affordable and pleasant cold-weather hand cream you have to try!

Hand Cream Macadamia Nut Oil by Balea


For those who need some extra care or emergency help, I would recommend trying out a 2-in-1 Hand Cream and Mask With Macadamia Nut Oil by my favorite bargain brand Balea. This product contains a huge amount of natural macadamia seed oil, so the formula is very nourishing. Macadamia oil is a lightweight, non-greasy oil that is often used in skincare products. It is rich in fatty acids and nutrients, making it highly moisturizing and nourishing for the skin. 

Balea's hand cream is easily absorbed and can help to improve the texture and appearance of the skin, making it smoother, and softer, It takes quite a time to absorb into the skin, but the result — soft and fresh skin is worth waiting for. 

You can also use Macadamia Hand Cream as a skin mask. Apply a generous amount of the cream all over the hands, focusing on the driest areas like cuticles, put on special cotton gloves, and go to bed. After you wake up in the morning, your skin will be very smooth and young-looking. If you suffer from extremely dry skin to the point of bleeding and cracking, I would recommend you try out Balea Macadamia Hand Cream.

Cute Hand Cream by Mengkou


And the very last for today, but not least, and definitely the cutest product in my today's list is Mengkou Hand Cream. It is great for those who prefer lightweight skin protection instead of hardcore nourishment. This product has a light gel-like non-greasy consistency, that instantly absorbs and spreads evenly on the skin. I can’t say that I’m a big fan of its scent. Even though I liked it a while ago, now it feels too sweet for me.

Let's Wrap Up!


That's all for today, my lovelies, I hope I helped you prepare your winter skincare essentials. Please, let me know what your favorite hand cream is during the cold fall and winter time, I'm excited to try out something new! If you have some secret tips or homemade recipes that help to keep the hands' skin healthy and nourished, please feel free to share as well. 

Lots of love,
