I'm not a big fan of Shaka products. I tried some many years ago when this brand was new here in Italy but it never caught the eye. The last time I went to OVS, however, I was desperate for a hand cream and I got a mini size as it's natural and vegan. I have to admit that I liked it a lot because it is light on the skin and is easily absorbed.

I've already talked about Nuxe in the last blog post and I love their products. Obviously, this cream is no exception. I think it's my favorite of all. This is perfect for the winter. My hands get very dry as soon as it gets cold and I need something that hydrates them thoroughly but doesn't stay sticky all day. This is the answer to my problems. It is moisturizing, rich, and it smells incredibly. In addition, it is also perfect for nails to use after filing and removing cuticles.

Bottega Verde, on the other hand, is a brand that I never use. Because apart from the name  (verde means green in Italian) there is nothing "green" in the ingredients. This cream, however, is perfect to keep in your bag because it has a nice scent, it's light, easily absorbed, and not so moisturizing. So it's great if you're in a hurry and have dry hands during the day. I apply it several times a day when I need it.

This is the cream that cannot be missed! If you need extra hydration because your hands are very dry or simply because you spend a lot of time in the cold this is the cream for you. The hydration and nourishment it gives your hands is something sensational. Unlike the others, it takes a little more effort to absorb because it remains white for a few seconds during application. But then leave your hands deeply nourished. It is also perfect to keep on the bedside table to apply a layer before going to sleep. In the morning you will wake up with hydrated and soft hands.
