Hand cream rarely gets used up, because it is never where you need it. Two tubes solve that: one in the bathroom or by the sink, one in a bag or on the desk. If you only like one, you give the other away — which makes the set work as a gift shared between two people.

The Minnie tube is designed as hand and nail care and carries a floral scent. The Mickey tube leans towards musk flower and comes across a touch calmer, less sweet. Both are restrained enough to use in an office without the whole room taking notice.

The skin on your hands has little fatty tissue and gets washed twenty to thirty times a day. Each time part of the natural protective film goes with it. That is why the best moment for hand cream is right after washing, while the skin is still slightly damp: the cream then seals in the remaining moisture instead of having to replace it laboriously. In winter cold is added, slowing circulation and regeneration — then an extra round before bed pays off.

The Minnie variant is explicitly meant for the nails as well. Dry cuticles tear and become candidates for an inflamed nail bed, especially in winter. Massaging the cream briefly into the nail fold rather than just stroking it over the back of the hand does more than any extra product.

Large tubes stand in the bathroom and stay there. A 30 ml tube travels: into a coat pocket, the glove box, the desk drawer. It is big enough to last several weeks and small enough that you do not have to consciously pack it. That is exactly why it gets used rather than merely owned.

Take Care is a French manufacturer that designs care and beauty products under licence — from Hello Kitty through Barbapapa to Disney. The approach is always the same: simple everyday products, in packaging you are happy to leave lying around. From this brand the shop also carries lip balms, sheet masks, hot water bottles and plasters.

As a small present, as an addition to a larger gift, for the advent calendar or for yourself. Also as something to bring for someone whose work involves a lot of water and disinfectant — there hand cream is not a luxury but a tool.

• Apply straight after washing your hands, that is when the cream works best.
• Keep one tube at work and the other at home.
• Massage it into the nail fold, do not just stroke it over the back of the hand.
• Do not leave the tube open, or the opening dries up.
• Apply a thicker layer before bed — overnight it absorbs completely.
