We rely on our trusty hands for just about everything we do — every text, double tap, and right swipe — but they also deserve the best hand cream so they stay in tip-top, buttery-soft shape. With all that exposure to the elements, it’s no wonder they’re the first place to show signs of weathering.
With all that exposure to the elements, it’s no wonder your hands are the first place to show signs of weathering. Luckily, though, there’s an abundance of skin-softening, nourishing, and ultra-hydrating hand creams on the market that, when used consistently (this is key), ward off signs of damage from daily wear and tear, especially when hand-washing and frequent use of hand sanitizer dry us out. And, the best part is there are excellent formulas available across retailers like Amazon, Ulta Beauty, and Nordstrom, so this list contains a healing hand cream at every price point.
With the latest innovations landing at our front doors at an ever-rapid rate, you could say we’ve got a good idea of the lotions and creams that are effective yet lightweight and nongreasy. Check out the best hand creams below.
