Hand cream has been more essential than ever over the past two years, and with good reason. In fact, the new Omicron variant means we should be even more vigilant to keep ourselves and our families safe. While we’re all well-versed on the merits of washing and sanitising our hands, these measures have seen eczema outbreaks flair up over the past year and left our wrists and hands crying out for some extra attention.
It’s precisely why some of our favourite brands, like Kiehl’s, have noticed a 600% surge in purchases for hand cream. Recently, the brand’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve has become its second most popular product behind the Ultra Facial Cream.
Called upon to alleviate sore skin and provide much-needed nourishment, hand creams have stepped up to plate, providing quick and longterm relief.
One heart-warming silver lining in all this, is that many generous beauty brands have shown their customers and essential workers just how much they care by providing free hand sanitisers and creams to those who need them. Miller Harris, Pai, Kiehl’s, Garnier, Palmers, Soap & Glory, Glossier, Boots, 111 Skin, Clarins and L’Occitane (to name a few), have all made donations since the onset of the crisis.
How to keep hands healthy:
First, you want to make sure you’re completely drying your hands each time you wash them. Hands that drip-dry are likely to become more parched as the water evaporates off them.
Next, choose a thoroughly nourishing hand cream to help keep the skin plump, smooth and hydrated. Use it every single time you wash your hands to add the moisture back in. If your hands are feeling sensitive, it’s best to opt for a fragrance-free option. If on the other hand, your hands are still pretty hardy, you can enjoy a statement scent.
So, whether you’re after a non-greasy, super-hydrating or beautifully-scented hand cream, we’ve picked out everything from the hand creams approved by dermatologists to ultra luxe hand balms that could double up as your favourite fragrance.
