Hand Cream

Hand cream helps reduce the dry, tight or rough feeling caused by frequent washing, sanitizers, weather and everyday exposure. Explore fast-absorbing daytime creams, richer formulas for very dry hands and fragrance-free products for sensitive skin. Common moisturizing ingredients include glycerin, ceramides, petroleum jelly, mineral oil, shea butter and dimethicone. Apply hand cream after each wash while the skin is still slightly damp, working it around the fingertips, nails and cuticles. Thick creams and ointments may provide more lasting moisture for chapped hands, while a lighter non-greasy product can be convenient during the day.
