Non-toxic Hand Cream: 8 To Try For Dry Hands

The necessity of using Hand Creams

Our hands are probably the most used parts of our body. They are also constantly exposed to the sun and UV rays, water, and chemicals from the kitchen etc. The skin on the back of the hands is thinner than other areas of your body. The oil ducts on your palms and fingers are also much smaller compared to other areas so your hands get chapped and dry out more easily than other areas. All of these factors can contribute to premature signs of aging and skin damage like wrinkles, dehydration, and pigmentation. This is where a good hand cream comes in. 

Our hands require intense moisturizing since they dry out easily. Hand creams are specifically formulated with different infusions to help deeply hydrate not just the skin at the back of our hands but also our palms which have thicker skin and hence are more difficult to penetrate. Regular use of a hand cream will make your skin softer, smoother and more supple as well. Try the Jubilation Ultra Nourishing Hand Cream by Antipodes with its rich blend of Omega fatty acids, available on our website, to experience hydrated and silky soft hands. 

Hand creams can also help combat the very many signs of aging. They can improve the elasticity of the skin tissue resulting in hands that look years younger. These creams are designed to target wrinkles, sun spots, and other kind of pigmentation. Many hand creams also utilize combinations of powerful botanical herbs and essential oils to repair and reverse sun damage. The Age Repair Hand Cream by Grown Alchemist and the Eucalyptus Hand Buttercream by 100% Pure® are just two of many hand creams available on our website that are loaded with antioxidants to ensure youthful looking hands. 

Hand creams also offer protection from environmental factors. It creates a protective barrier on your skin to prevent dehydration, peeling, and cracking. Regular use of hand creams also helps in softening cuticles and nails resulting in overall better looking and feeling hands. The Organic Cream by Consonant Skincare offers just this type of relief from dry hands along with intense protection to prevent damage before it even happens. Using hand creams can also relieve stress due to regular massage and even more so when ingredients are organic. A perfect example of this is the Deliverance Kowhai Flower Hand Cream by Antipodes.

Hand creams are a simple but effective solution to the care of our hard working hands. We have a variety of hand creams to choose from to ensure that your hands are intensely cared for, protected, repaired, and healed.
