I have noticed many times that many hand creams darken my skin of hands,
i have used nivea soft,aveeno with SPF , vaseline, Cream21 (lotion), the body shop africa butter
The only one good cream was “Clarins hand and nail treatment cream”
but it is very costly , i cannot afford it.
Now i bought Sally hansen radiance hand cream , just start using it today , need any review , and your experiences regarding hand creams
Re: Hand creams darken the skin
I can understand darkening of skin in the sun, but indoors that shouldn't be a problem. Apply sunblock to hands when you're out. Take some olive oil, some lotion, and sugar. Or you can just use oil and sugar. You could even add a bit of lemon juice for its lightening effect. Creat a scrubby/grainy consistency. Wash your hands with warm water to open pores. Then give your hands a good scrub with this mixture for a couple minutes. Rinse off. It'll exfoliate your skin and leave hands feeling very soft. Then apply moisturizer.

'Normal' hand creams won't be darkening your skin.. something else may have caused increased sensitivity to the sun.. you need to use sunscreen whenever you're outdoors..

Re: Hand creams darken the skin
Yes, anything oily will darken your skin if you apply it and go outdoors too. AlwYs apply any sunscreen of SPF 30 or more over it.
