The BettyHula Anti-bacterial Hand Cream feeds the dryness with shea butter, coconut and jojoba oils while silver citrate keeps hands fresh in the stretches between washes, so soft skin and clean hands stop being a choice. BettyHula formulates in the UK with a Hawaiian love of fragrance, which is why a practical hand cream ended up smelling the way this one does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShea butter and jojoba put back the oils soap removes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detergent lifts the natural fats that keep the skin on your hands flexible, and shea butter with coconut and jojoba oils replaces them.

Applied while hands are still slightly wet from washing, the cream traps the water sitting in the skin, and that trapped water is what keeps hands flexible rather than tight. A pea-sized amount is enough if you concentrate it on the backs of the hands, the knuckles and the nail edges, which dry out far faster than palms do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is this different from a standard hand cream or a bottle of sanitiser?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A standard hand cream moisturises and stops there, and an alcohol gel disinfects while taking the skin's own oils with it. The BettyHula Anti-bacterial Hand Cream uses silver citrate inside a shea butter and coconut oil base, so one tube covers freshness between washes and the dryness those washes cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does an antibacterial hand cream replace washing my hands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: No, and nothing does. Soap and water physically remove dirt and germs from the skin, which is a mechanical job no cream performs. The silver citrate here is for the hours in between, when a sink is nowhere nearby and hands are picking things up anyway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is the sort of thing people end up buying twice, one for the bag and one for the kitchen windowsill, because the tube you own is no use in the room you are not in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore the \u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/dry-skin\"\u003edry skin collection\u003c\/a\u003e for complementary hydration treatments, or explore more from the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/dry-skin\"\u003eDry skin\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca class=\"sn-ilink\" href=\"\/collections\/bettyhula\"\u003eMore from BettyHula\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n","brand":"BettyHula","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48870641893710,"sku":"CSABHC01","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/CSABHC01.png?v=1778671448","url":"https:\/\/skinnomid.com\/products\/betty-hula-nourishing-anti-bacterial-hand-cream-champagne-spice","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
