🖐️ 5 Tips to Keep Hands Soft
1. Apply Cream to Damp Skin
Moisturize right after washing while skin is slightly damp to lock in hydration.
2. Reapply After Sanitizing
Alcohol dries skin—always use hand cream afterward.
3. Use Shea Butter & Glycerin
They deeply hydrate and restore the skin’s barrier.
4. Try an Oil Bath Before Bed
Soak hands in warm water with sweet almond or coconut oil for deep repair.
5. Wear Gloves for Chores
Prevent irritation from cleaning agents and hot water.
