It’s safe to say that South Korea is the leading country when it comes to creating skincare products. Beauty brands have been popping out here and there, and the amount of items we can use for our eyes, cheeks and lips are continuously growing.

But, did you know that skincare is not just limited to the face? In fact, there are a now a lot of products we can apply for our body, specifically the hand.

Without further ado, here are some of the must-buy Korean hand creams to achieve that soft palms and fingers ;)

1. Nature Republic – California Aloe Hand Cream

It’s no secret that the aloe vera plant has a lot of benefits to the skin. It’s known for soothing sunburns, moisturising, healing of wounds and even fights aging! These are only some of the reasons why aloe vera gel products have been very popular.

Nature Republic took one step further and used this ingredient to create a hand cream. This product will turn a rough, flaky hand into a soft and moisturised hand!

It’s also fast absorbing, so it won’t leave a feeling of stickiness after application.

2. Innisfree – Olive Real Moisture Hand Cream

Can olives only be put in foods and drinks? Nope! Apparently, this ingredient is also a good addition to our hand creams and the proof is Innisfree’s Olive Real Moisture product.

Containing golden olives that grew in Mediterranean soil and sunlight, the rich moisturising ingredients will help deliver healthy nutrients deep within a dry skin.

Its texture is quite similar to a whipped cream yet; it soaks softly and ensures that the moisture will remain in your hands for a long time.
