Healing Hands
Wednesday
Whether hailing a cab or sporting the latest dangly bracelets, our hands are constantly on display. But winter can take a toll on our most visible accessories, sapping them of their essential moisture. Fortunately, there are several pampering creams that will keep your hands soft and supple through spring. An intensely hydrating formula, Earth Therapeutics Hand Remedy ($8; earththerapeutics.com, shown) is packed with colloidal oatmeal, shea butter, and alpha-hydroxy acids that lock in moisture and keep roughness at bay. For best results, use the cream at night with the brand’s Soft Hands Gel Gloves ($25). Origins Make A Difference Skin Rejuvenating Treatment ($31; origins.com) offers a garden’s worth of greaseless skin smoothers to alleviate dryness and chapping, including rose of Jericho, trehalose, oceanic flora, and sage, while Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream ($4; drugstore.com) includes a highly concentrated dose of glycerin for emergency fixes (be sure to use it sparingly). And for a fragrant, vitamin-packed formula, try Booth’s Honey & Almond Hand Cream ($5; drugstore.com), which calls on cocoa-seed butter, vitamins A and E, and botanical extracts to banish dry skin and encourage cell repair. —Juliette Miranda
