Just a dab of this top-rated hand cream will do ya! (Amazon)(Amazon)
Soft, smooth hands are the goal year-round. If your dry hands are begging for a rescue, we've got a fix — O'Keeffe's Working Hands Hand Cream. Don’t let the no-frills packaging fool you — this $9 cream is a hydration hero. This under-the-radar Amazon gem has 60,000 five-star fans and 10,000+ tubs were sold in the last month alone.
This cream also provides relief from skin woes such as chronic eczema and psoriasis.
Frequent hand-washer? This stuff's got your back. It uses glycerin and paraffin to pull in moisture and create a protective seal, offering fast-absorbing, long-lasting relief — and just a fingertip-full gets the job done. The special formula is made for extreme dryness and can tackle rough hands from hard work, harsh weather conditions and help relieve those who suffer from eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions. It's also a cockpit must-have — one pilot we talked to trusts this stuff to combat the brutal dryness that comes with constant flying.
Happy customers who give it five stars are those with real “working hands,” like these industry professionals.
Food service: “I work in the food industry and am constantly putting my hands in hot, soapy water, bleach and sanitizer solution. I also struggle with eczema and contact dermatitis. The skin on my fingers and knuckles started becoming rough, scaly, and horribly cracked. It would hurt to wash my hands. I've tried several different lotions and even slathering my hands in Vaseline but nothing worked and I gave up. A friend recommended this product and I've been applying the cream on the dry/cracked areas every night. I saw results after my third use. My knuckles don't feel rough anymore, and the deep cracks on my skin have started to smooth out and look like skin again ... I'm really thrilled that this product worked out for me and will continue to purchase this."
Heavy machinery: “I work a lot with various machinery that either has me wearing rubber gloves for long periods or making me wash my hands constantly. My skin is fairly sensitive, so both of those scenarios really end up with my hands in the worst condition. Dry, itchy from being dry, cracking. Just unpleasant. This stuff really does the trick. It moisturizes, isn't itchy or burns irritated skin, and forms a really nice barrier against irritants in oils and greases. And has no scent. I like the fact that the container is small and compact, I carry it with me all day long to keep my hands happy. It does leave a film on your hands, but give it a few minutes and it'll go away.”
Healthcare: “I’m a nurse and get really dry around my fingernails and then pick at them … yes, I’m a picker. I’ve been using this for years and the magic that’s in this concoction has my fingers nearly healed overnight. It says you don’t need much and you don’t as long as you quickly apply it to your problem areas then massage it in. I stay dry around my nails. But I wash my hands so often, even at home, that it’s still magic! Buy it already!”
Construction: “I’ve been using this stuff for years, it’s fantastic. I work in the construction industry and in the wintertime I get cracked fingers and palms and all sorts of stuff and this works fantastic!”
