With much of the country feeling the effects of a major Arctic blast, there are A LOT of dry hands out there. Even if you’re staying inside, that artificial heat you’re using to stay toasty isn’t going to make roughness or chapping any better, since it’s literally sucking any remaining moisture out of your skin. The good news is, these treatments can help restore soft, smooth, hydrated hands in no time flat.
Patchology Perfect Ten Self-Warming Hand and Cuticle Mask
Ideal for taking the chill out of frigid fingers and softening rough, dry hands, this spa-like treatment infuses skin with moisture courtesy of shea butter, macadamia seed oil and rosehip oil. Simply slip your hands into the insulated gloves and wait 10 minutes (or more) for the skin-rejuvenating and cuticle-smoothing magic to happen.
Karité Shea Butter Crème Mains
Developed by three sisters from Ghana (one of which is a dermatologist), this ultra-rich, natural hand cream features sustainably sourced unrefined shea butter and organic coconut oil—plus barrier-strengthening essential fatty acids and antioxidant protection thanks to vitamins A and E. Intensely soothing, hypoallergenic and formulated with limited ingredients so it’s safe for sensitive skin, your hands will love the extra TLC and your nose will adore the scent.
Supergoop! Forever Young Hand Cream
With sea buckthorn fruit extract to improve dark spots and loss of elasticity, antioxidant-rich meadowfoam seed oil, hydrating argan oil and broad-spectrum SPF 40, this multitasker has protection, correction and virtually everything else your hands need in one bottle 365 days a year.
Chanel No. 5 Hand Cream
Your hand cream doesn’t have to be limited to skincare ingredients alone, and this limited-edition offering incorporates one of Chanel’s signature scents as well. You still get the moisture your skin is craving—and with a sleek look that was literally designed to fit in the palm of your hand, the packaging combines both form and function.
Deborah Lippmann Marshmallow Hand Scrub
If you want to maximize the hydrating results of your hand cream, it’s best to eliminate any buildup of dull, dead skin cells that can stand in its way. This gentle yet effective scrub combines physical and chemical exfoliation with finely milled volcanic rock and a blend of fruit- and plant-based acids, plus glycerin and coconut oil for deep moisturization and marshmallow root extract to soothe winter-ravaged hands. The whipped consistency is a pleasure—and the sweet scent almost makes it good enough to eat.
