Beauty Bible Weekend Steal: Nursem Caring Hand Cream

Fact: nurses have their hands in and out of water all day. (And also use a lot of hand sanitiser.) Hand cream, then, is a nurse’s best friend.

Enter Nursem hand cream, from the all-British hand- and skincare brand that we’ve previously praised. Created by paediatric nurse Antonia Philp and her husband Jonny, Nursem set out to tackle the painful contact dermatitis caused by relentless hand-washing in healthcare settings.

So, the premise of this fab cream is to protect ‘hard-working hands’ – but what we also love is ‘the Nursem Promise’, whereby for every product sold, they donate a month’s worth of free hand care to nurses and midwives. Just brilliant stuff.

And it’s a brilliant hand cream in its own right. Nourishing, yet it sinks in almost instantaneously, to leave hands soothed and soft. (Because let’s face it: nurses can stand around flapping their arms, waiting for a hand cream to sink in.)

Also… very affordable: a set of three 30ml minis for under a tenner, meaning you can have one in your handbag, on your desk and by the taps. (And quite likely, trade up to a bigger size.)
