5 Best Hand Creams for Dry Skin

If your mitts are anything like ours, they’re currently engaged in a brutal love triangle between hand soap, hand sanitizer, and hand lotion. Thanks to a rigorous regimen of scrubbing and sanitizing, our hands are extra dry and a little itchy and irritated. In our quest for happier hands, we rounded up five of our favorite lotions and creams to give your paws some serious pampering. Carry a tube in your purse, stash one in your car, or put one in your pocket for a handy dose of much-needed moisture and relief.

AESOP

Your hands will feel instantly revived thanks to this indulgent Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm. This hydrating balm does wonders for dry hands and cuticles, and has a bold botanical scent. We love the packaging too—so pretty displayed on a nightstand or your bathroom vanity.

GLOSSIER

In a case of perfect timing, the crew at Glossier recently launched their new hand cream in a sleek, portable palm-sized pod. The nutrient-rich, fast-absorbing formula is scented with the brand’s signature Glossier You scent. One more Glossier goodie to love.

GROWN ALCHEMIST

We carried a tube of this Grown Alchemist Intensive Hand Cream with us all around a trip to Europe, and we fell in love with the rich but non-greasy formula, the chic packaging, and the subtle Persian rose scent. It’s made with organic ingredients and is toxic- and cruelty-free.
