What Is a Good Hand Cream?
We use our hands for practically everything: typing, texting, pulling off that killer winged eyeliner—you name it. So, no wonder they get dry and rough sometimes. With hand cream, you can rescue your skin and give your hands the care they deserve. But what is a good hand cream? Which ingredients should you look for? What else makes a hand cream worth reaching for? Let’s talk more about that below so you know what to look for when staring at a shelf full of tubes and tubs.
Look for Key Ingredients for Thirsty Skin
You know that tight, dry feeling? That’s your hands craving for moisture. So, you want to look for hand cream ingredients that can draw and retain moisture, also known as humectants. Ingredients like glycerin and the soothing aloe vera in our Bio Spa Hand Cream with Avocado Oil & Aloe Vera are excellent humectants. You also need ingredients that lock it all in, like those rich oils, butter and other emollients that can soften and smooth the skin by filling in the gaps between skin cells. Our Bio Spa Hand Cream has avocado oil, which feels like a proper hug for dry hands, making them feel smooth, not just wet.
Consider Nourishing and Protecting Ingredients
But hey, it’s not just about feeling moist. You want your hands to feel healthy, too. That’s where the good stuff that nourishes and protects comes in. For instance, occlusives work like a little bodyguard for your skin, creating a protective barrier on the skin’s surface to prevent water loss and shield your hands from external irritants. Occlusive hand cream ingredients include shea butter, castor oil, argan oil and cocoa butter. You may also need antioxidants in your hand care routine. For instance, consider Vitamin E in our DSM Hands & Nails Treatment Cream with Aloe Vera & Vitamin E. That ingredient serves as a shield against the world, plus the Aloe Vera keeps your hands nice and well-hydrated.
Find Ingredients That Address Specific Hand Concerns
Now, sometimes your hands are just over it, you know? They’re cracked and properly sore. That’s when you need the heavy-duty stuff. Our Alternative Plus Intensive Protection Hand Cream is like the SOS for those moments. It contains a higher concentration of rich emollients and occlusives to provide a more substantial barrier and deeper moisturisation. Simply put, it’s designed to get in there and help heal things when your hands are feeling their absolute worst.
Treat Mineral-Rich Care Ingredients as a Green Flag
Which is the best cream for hands? It could be that tub with Dead Sea minerals.
Because we’re Jericho Skincare ANZ, you know we’re all about the power of Dead Sea minerals. Those minerals aren’t just hype; they’re genuinely good for your skin. They have restorative properties—they can enhance hydration, soothe irritation, and improve the skin’s natural barrier function. Take our Juman Hand Cream with Dead Sea Minerals, for instance. It taps into those restorative properties to make your hands soft and refreshed. Want a mini detox for your hands and nails? Use Mon Platin DSM Hand & Nails Treatment Cream with Dead Sea Mud. Apply it multiple times throughout the day, and be consistent with it to see the best outcomes.
Indulge Your Hands with Luxurious Ingredients
Taking care of your hands can also be an opportunity for a little self-indulgence. Some hand creams offer additional sensory experiences through luxurious textures and carefully selected ingredients. Our Black Pearl Hand Cream feels fancy and leaves your hands exceptionally soft and smooth. And the Black Pearl Nourishing Hand & Nail Cream? It extends this luxurious care to your nails, offering a complete treatment that nourishes and enhances the beauty of your hands and nails. So, if you’re still asking: what is a good hand cream? Give Black Pearl products a try.
