At Skin Love Cream, we believe skincare should never stop at the wrists. Whether you are double-cleansing your face or layering serums like a pro, your hands deserve the same level of love — and we are here to make sure they get it.
Because here’s the thing: dry hands are not a seasonal inconvenience. They are a year-round issue, especially in today's climate-controlled, sanitizer-soaked, and screen-tapping lifestyle. And let’s face it — nothing ruins the vibe of a fresh manicure faster than flaking, tight, irritated skin.
So we created your go-to handbook for soft, hydrated, happy hands — featuring expert advice, clever remedies, and our Skin Love Cream-approved clean + clinical favorites.
First, Let’s Talk Skin Facts
Your hands have fewer oil glands than other parts of the body, which makes them more prone to dehydration.
According to experts, frequent handwashing and sanitizer use (hello, post-pandemic life) can compromise the skin barrier, leading to microscopic cracks, flaking, and increased sensitivity.
Prolonged exposure to UV rays without SPF (yes, even indoors near windows!) can speed up aging, pigmentation, and roughness on your hands.
The Real Reason Your Hands Stay Dry — Even in Summer
From steamy kitchens and chlorinated pools to sun-soaked road trips and iced coffee-induced dehydration, summer brings its own list of culprits.
Here's what could be drying you out:
- Harsh soaps and chemical-laden cleaning products
- Indoor air conditioning and dry office air
- Frequent sun exposure without SPF
- Not moisturizing after handwashing
Low water intake (yes, your skin notices!)
Fun Fact: Your hands are often the first area to show signs of aging — even before your face.
