2. Clarins hand and nail treatment balm — $51
Suitable for all skin types, Clarins hand and nail treatment balm has so many 5 star reviews on The Iconic! We even spied a few reviews from professional gardeners and nurses who regularly wash their hands and highly recommend this hand balm.
It protects against environmental damage while softening the skin and targeting age spots. Plus you only need a pea size amount to do your whole hands so a little goes a long way.

3. L’Occitane Shea butter hand cream — $47
Infused with rich, natural butters and oils, L’Occitane has a cult following for a reason! In fact, it’s so popular there’s one sold every 3 seconds!
This balm has a thicker texture meaning it takes a little longer to soak into the skin, but it’s intensely hydrating and amazing for dry, damaged skin.

We included the al.ive hand wash in our round up of the best liquid hand soaps and naturally, we have to include their hand and body lotion in this round up! Available in a range of stylish muted-colour bottles, you can find an option to suit your design aesthetic.
