Discovered: The Stylish Designer Hand Cream That Every Fashion Enthusiast Will Carry in Their Bag This Fall

      What’s a skincare essential and handbag accessory that doesn’t get enough recognition? Hand cream, without a doubt. Personally, I won’t face cold weather without a rich, moisturizing, skin-softening formula within reach. I dislike dry, itchy skin, and I definitely don’t want to ruin the appearance of my monthly manicure by allowing rough cuticles to linger. Hand cream solves both issues, and while there are plenty of good drugstore options (like Burt's Bees and Gold Bond!), there's something special about indulging in a high-quality formula. There are many premium choices available (L'Occitane, Nécessaire, and Salt & Stone come to mind!). However, there’s one designer hand cream that is sure to find its place in every fashionista's bag this fall: Prada’s Triple Care Hand Cream.

      Triple Care Hand Cream**

      Prada's latest Triple Care Hand Cream treats hands, nails, and cuticles. It features shea butter for moisture, 2% niacinamide for brightening, biotin for strengthening, and iris extract for hydrating softness. With a promise of 48 hours of lasting hydration, a small amount of this hand cream is highly effective. Beyond its efficacious formula, it also offers a delightful sensory experience. First, the texture is lightweight and less viscous compared to other hand creams, which is why the brand calls it a "liquid balm." It absorbs quickly, making it a great choice for those who dislike residue (like me!). I spend all day on a computer, and the last thing I want is a thick hand cream leaving greasy fingerprints on my keyboard. Secondly, the scent is both subtle and significant, infused with Prada's signature iris fragrance. Lastly, the packaging is super chic. I adore the recognizable triangular shape, and the mint green perfectly complements my other favorite Prada Beauty product—the Moisturizing Lip Balm ($50). It’s a stylish, hydrating duo for the colder months. As the brand puts it, "hand me my Prada!"

      Vernis Huile Abricot Nail & Cuticle Cream**

      Dior's Vernis Huile Abricot hydrates, strengthens, and protects nails and cuticles.

      **PAUME

      Renewing Hand Serum**

      I recently experimented with Paume's Renewing Hand Serum and was pleasantly surprised. Ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, bakuchiol, and niacinamide work to fade dark spots, enhance elasticity, and reduce fine lines. It’s an entire anti-aging serum for your hands.

      Overnight Hand & Foot Hydration Mask**

      I’m also a fan of the brand's deeply moisturizing Overnight Hand and Foot Mask.

      **Patchology

      Rosé Fingers Renewing Hand Mask**

      I enjoy using a glove hand treatment occasionally since they are easy to use and don’t leave any residue on everything I touch. This one is a personal favorite.
