Why is it that the season of winter sounds wonderful in theory, but when it comes to actually braving the harsh weather outside, most of us chicken out and refuse to leave our cosy blanket? Don't worry, that was a rhetorical question, because the real answer is simple - it's freezing outside! From our skin to our hair to our nerves, every bit of the body is trying to somehow get accustomed to these plummeting temperatures.

 

But for now, let's focus on one of the most annoying perils of the cold season. Rough, dry hands that feel like sandpaper rubbing against your skin. Honestly though, its no surprise considering your hands are probably two of the most useful, yet neglected parts of your body. The skin on your hands, is also your most frequently exposed body part, whether it's to harsh winter weather, friction, or basic chemicals used in the kitchen. Simply put, you need to take care of that skin, nurture it and help it recover with the right product to achieve the softest hands, ever. Now, why would you say no to that? 

 

Oh, and we added the additional filter of great smell. That just makes everything so much better, doesn't it? So, without any delay, here's a list of the 5 best hand creams in India, perfect for intense hydration of that delicate skin, in this frosty weather.
