Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail Conditioning Hand Lotion Review

Hand creams are great to moisturise, soften and smooth the hands. I have tried a few, but there is one that I keep on buying and using that I really like. The Vaseline health hand and nail conditioning hand lotion. It contains vitamin E which I like as it is so good for the skin and keratin which is great for nail strengthening.

Vaseline says: Incredibly, our hand are made up of 5 unique surfaces. But because they are constantly exposed, they are prone to dryness and require customised care. Vaseline Healthy Hand and Nail Lotion is formulated just for your hands. Its conditioning moisturisers are fast absorbing and non-greasy. It nourishes for softer palms, fingertips and knuckles, smoother cuticles and stronger nails.  Soften hands and strenghtens nails by 50%.

The Vaseline Hand comes in a 75ml squeeze tube that is a great size. The tube is a cute pink colour. The product comes out as you squeeze the tube. You only need a small amount and you just rub it in your hands and around your nails.

It feels soft on the hands and absorbs quite quickly. It leaves the hands feeling softer and smoother. It is not greasy, but if you use too much it can leave a oily feeling, so only a little amount is needed (as you use it a few times, you will see what amount works best for you)

I usually apply it in the morning and at night before bed, as these times suit me the best. Once you apply this lotion I would suggest not washing your hands for at least an hour (as it can wash off).

The Vaseline healthy hand and nail conditioning hand lotion is also great for nails. I find that I can get dry skin around my nails and cuticles, but when using this and massaging it in the nail area you can see the results really quickly - softer and smoother skin. To get the results you need to use this continuously and it really does make a difference.

I would definitely recommend this as a great everyday hand lotion that will give you softer, smoother skin and great results overall with continued use. It is very affordable at $4.95aud from supermarkets and priceline.

Tips on how to look after your hands

Lately I have been really keen on looking after my hands. Just as we look after our face, our hands are important too. Hands are also one area where the earliest signs of aging will show. The skin on the back of our hands is really delicate and thin therefore needing extra care.

So I have been doing a few things to keep my hands feeling soft and smooth.

1. When applying my sunscreen on my face and body I also apply some to the back of my hand. I always keep sunscreen in my car so that I can apply some before I start driving as the sun can affect your hands even when driving.

2. When I wash the dishes ( or clean aronund house with water) I always wear gloves to protect my hands from detergents.

3. Use mild/gentle soap when washing your hands.

4. In the shower about two times a week, I use a gentle exfoliant ( same as what I use on my face) on the back of my hand to remove any dead skin cells. ( you can make your own exfoliant by mixing sea salt and lemon juice)

5. I moisturise my hands to keep my skin hydrated and moisturised. (you can use hand cream too)

6. Every few weeks I will soak my hands in warm olive oil for a few minutes and then wrap them in plastic glad wrap for a few more minutes to get smooth skin.
