Hand care

The back of the hand has hardly any sebaceous glands – the natural protective film is almost completely missing. At the same time, hand skin is washed multiple times daily, which further removes the remaining protective film. Cold narrows the blood vessels and reduces circulation. The result: hands dry out, brittle spots form, small cracks hurt.

Hyaluronic acid and Glycerin bind moisture in the upper skin layer. Shea butter, Almond oil and Jojoba oil provide lipids and form a protective film. For heavily stressed or cracked hands, Urea (carbamide) containing formulations are especially effective – they penetrate deeply and soften thickened, rough skin.

Apply a little cream after every wash – that sounds complicated, but it is the simplest and most effective measure. A small hand cream by the sink, one on the desk, one in the office: visibility makes consistency easier. In the evening, use a richer formulation – the night is the most effective time window for intensive hand regeneration. Those who place hand cream next to the washbasin, on the desk, and on the nightstand create the conditions for consistency: visibility makes routine easier. Applying cream once a day shows little difference. Doing it after every wash, you will notice after two weeks: the skin changes noticeably – dry spots heal, rough areas become softer, the overall feeling improves.

An effective hand care routine doesn’t need many steps – it needs consistency. Hands are the only part of the body we have to wash multiple times a day – each wash removes part of the protective film. Applying cream immediately afterwards closes this cycle. Skipping it leaves the skin unprotected. Daily: gentle cleansing, followed immediately by hand cream with SPF. In the evening: richer hand cream or hand oil as the last step before sleep. Apply on slightly damp skin – this noticeably improves ingredient absorption.

Weekly: a gentle hand scrub removes dead cells, smooths rough patches, and improves hand cream absorption. Then use an intensive hand mask – simply apply a generous layer of hand cream, put on cotton gloves, and leave on for 20–30 minutes or overnight.

For very dry or cracked hands: consistent care over weeks instead of a one-time intensive treatment. The skin on the back of the hand regenerates more slowly than facial skin – those who stick with it will see and feel a clear difference after three to four weeks.
