- We use our hands to do everything, so it's no wonder they get dried out - especially if you work with them, or wash them frequently. That's why it's important to moisturize daily, and to choose the best hand cream for the job.
- Of all the hand creams we tested, Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve is the best because it moisturizes effectively to leave a glove-like barrier of protection.
Most people remember to moisturize their faces at the very least, but what about the rest of your body? Hands are probably the last thing you think about moisturizing daily, but they're also vitally important in just about everything you do, so it's time to treat them a little bit better. If you have a job that requires frequent hand washing or you work out in the elements, your hands are even more vulnerable.
A good hand cream is a vital addition to your skincare regime. These specially formulated creams are rich moisturizers that can create a special barrier to protect your skin from the elements all day long.
Since my husband is a doctor and we have a young kid in daycare, we both wash our hands obsessively. This results in painfully dry skin, especially in the winter. We tried several highly recommended hand creams and sifted through buyer and expert reviews to find the best hand creams you can buy.
Here are our top picks for the best hand cream:
- Best hand cream overall: Kiehl's Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
- Best anti-aging hand cream: Supergoop! Forever Young Hand Cream
- Best hand cream on a budget: Eucerin Advanced Repair Hand Cream
- Best hand cream for damaged hands: O'Keefe's Working Hands
- Best smelling hand cream: Tocca Crema da Mano Hand Cream
