Aveda Hand Relief Moisturizing Creme (£17, originally £21) smells pretty and has a luxurious, silky texture that absorbs quickly into the skin. But just because it dries down quickly doesn't mean it's not working. Plant-derived emollients and humectants, as well as vitamins A and E, and exfoliating fruit acids, all work in tandem help to soften and coddle dry, uncomfortable skin.
