This year amongst other things, I received the Lancôme Nutrix Royal Mains Nourishing and Restoring Hand Cream and I just have to rave about it.
Hand cream is one of things that is a hated necessity for me but I guess that just because I've never really be thoroughly satisfied with the creams I've used, until now of course. My previous lust-affair was with Soap and Glory Hand Food. Most likely a lust affair due to the divine scent. However, this product could only deliver wonderful moisturisation in a very rich and greasy cream. This product is not alone though as I have been similarly disappointed with L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream.
Lancôme Nutrix Royal Mains is now a mainstay in my morning and evening beauty regime. The delicately scented cream glides over my hands and I kid you not, is absorbed in seconds. What I am left with is superbly smooth and supple skin. I am not yet at the age that I suffer from serious aging on my hands, so in that department, I can not comment on performance. But the veil of moisture this provides lasts for about 6 hours, probably in part to the rebalancing of the lipid layer of the cell membranes (the lipid bilayer of a cell helps to form a semipermeable barrier that keeps the outside, out and the inside, in!) thus, helping to retain moisture more readily.
With an RRP of £21.50 for 100ml, it's a luxury purchase but since I use a pea-sized about each application, I'm sure it'll last a while.
Lancôme offer other moisturers in this range including, one for the face and a body butter which I'm now desperate try.
