Did You Use Hand Cream Today?

There’s never going to be a day when you don’t use your hands, which is why there’s never going to be a time when your hands aren’t going to go through oodles of wear and tear. Since you can’t stop using your hands, you’ve got to do something about taking care of them, right?

Which is why, it’s time to meet your new best friend: hand cream. It’s that one humble self care product that you must keep handy at all times. Whether you’re at work, lazing at home, hanging out with your homies, catching feelings or flights, ensure you’re never without your trusted hand cream. People come and go, but hand cream is forever - okay, that might be too dramatic, but you get the point, isn’t it?

How Often Should You Apply Hand Cream?

Technically, there’s no specific number. You should apply it throughout the day, and reapply every time your hands feel dry. Some people choose to apply it every time they wash their hands with soap or after applying hand sanitizer. For some others, once in the morning and one more time, before going to bed is enough. Winter weather warrants it more (alliteration for the win!), while you may not need it as much when the sun is scorching hot. Essentially, you do you, as long as that ‘you’ is applying it often enough.

Benefits Of Using Hand Cream:

It prevents dryness and cracking of the skin
Thanks to its moisture-providing properties, it also prevents wrinkles on your hand
It also strengthens the skin around your nails and cuticles
Hand cream helps repair damaged skin
Gives your hands a cleaner, healthier and a well-groomed appearance

With consistent use, you’ll also start to see and feel a massive difference in the appearance of your hands. The next time someone shakes your hand or holds it, they’ll feel it too, and you’ll know the difference in their disposition. Who would not want that!

Repeat after me: have hands, will cream… Errm, that didn’t come out right. Have hands, will use hand cream… that’s better. Anyway, the point being, under no circumstance should you choose not to use hand cream.
