You Need a Stellar Hand Cream in Your Cold Weather Routine

""The cold can strip your skin of moisture, leaving it dry and cracked," says celebrity esthetician Ian Michael Crumm. "Hand creams and salves restore hydration while forming a protective shield. It might sound overly specific, but I rely on various hand creams every winter through early spring, whether that's a reparative salve at night or a lightweight hydrator during the day.""

"Oh, how I dig this exemplary hand cream from grooming go-to La Roche-Posay. It's an exemplary all-arounder, blending derm-backed clinical science with an approachable formula that hydrates, protects, repairs, works for most skin types and is easy on the wallet. The texture sits between a cream and a salve, delivering an almost armor-like yet immediately comforting feel, while the ingredient lineup hits the trifecta: shea butter to soothe, glycerin to lock-in moisture and niacinamide to help repair and support the skin barrier."

A broad evaluation of specialized options identified eleven top hand creams suitable for the medicine cabinet, Dopp kit, or work desk. Effective daily options hydrate, protect through repeated washing, and suit most skin types.
