Although the hands are amongst the hardest-working parts of the body, they’re often not given the care of other skin (like the face). Enter hand cream, which is a must for keeping the delicate skin soft and free from dryness, especially for aging and working hands, in dry climates or seasons like winter and when frequently washing your hands.
Hand creams hydrate skin, leaving hands feeling soft and looking smooth and plump,” says Good Housekeeping Institute Beauty Lab chemist Danusia Wnek. “You should see and feel the results almost immediately.” And dermatologists agree: “It’s so important to keep hands moisturized, as they are subject to even more environmental damage than the face,” adds Gregory Brown, M.D., founder of RéVive Skincare in Louisville, Kentucky.
To help you sort through the endless formulas on the market, the scientists in the GH Beauty Lab have put dozens of the most popular hand creams through our rigorous tests over the years. GH Beauty Lab experts evaluate hand creams both in the Lab using technical instruments to measure skin hydration and on consumer testers, who report their feedback on ease of use, texture, scent, look and feel of skin after application and more. They then collate hundreds of data points to find the most effective hand creams you can buy to heal and hydrate dry, cracked skin.
