Exposure to environmental hazards like irritants and allergens, frequent hand-washing, and common daily activities take a toll on the hands. A therapeutic hand cream is necessary to temporarily protect the skin, alleviate dryness and restore soft, healthy skin. We recommend looking for ingredients in a hand cream that include protective dimethicone, moisturizing hyaluronic acid, soothing niacinamide and barrier-reinforcing ceramides. A fragrance-free hand cream like CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream is an effective option with all of the above, even for sensitive skin.
