Hand Cream & Oil

Yes, it is absolutely okay to use hand cream every day. Many people even choose to use hand cream multiple times a day. What’s most important is finding one that works well for you. If you have more sensitive skin, you’ll want to take steps to avoid harsh ingredients in hand cream such as synthetic fragrances and preservatives. The best way to ensure your hand cream works well without causing irritation is to use one made with high-quality and naturally derived ingredients.

If you already use a daily body lotion, you might wonder why you shouldn't just apply it to your hands too. Ultimately, you can use your daily lotion on your hands because it will still help to maintain some moisture. However, hand creams are typically made to be a lot thicker than body lotions, helping nourish skin and lock in hydration. For this reason, if you’re dealing with skin issues on your hands or if you just want a more targeted product, using hand cream will definitely be more beneficial. 

First, you’ll want to opt for a nourishing hand cream made with natural ingredients. The Skin Regimen has antioxidants and natural ingredients to help nourish your hands without being too harsh. You can apply hand cream throughout the day such as after you wash your hands, wash dishes, or shower. Keeping your skin protected by wearing gloves while cleaning or when going out into colder climates can also help.

Hand cream can be used as often as you need it. If your hands are particularly dry or bothering you, you may have to apply it more frequently than when your skin feels healthier. Ideally, you’ll want to apply hand cream after doing things that may dry your skin out more, such as washing your hands or washing dishes. 

Frequent exposure to water (especially hot water) can make hands dry. Activities like taking showers, washing dishes, and washing your hands can all cause your skin to dry out more. Harsh climates can also affect your hands, such as extremely cold temps or extended exposure to sunlight.
