How do you combat dry hands and ensure that your hands stay smooth and moisturized during winter? That is where hand cream comes into the picture. Hand creams are formulated specifically for your hands and help to keep them well hydrated and moisturised throughout the day.
Still skeptical about including a hand cream into your winter skincare routine? Read along as we let you in on the 6 amazing benefits of using hand creams.
Heals cracked skin
Do you suffer from cracked hands during winter? Though regular body oils and lotions help to moisturise your dry and cracked hands, they are not enough. You need to invest in a rich and thick hand cream that is formulated specially to keep your hands ultra moisturised. So, go ahead and pick a hydrating hand cream and always keep it in your purse to avoid dry and cracked hands this winter. Check out Charmis cream which is a non-greasy hand cream that is perfect for everyday use.
Slows down ageing signs
Did you know that the skin on your hands has fewer sebaceous glands and hence it dries faster? Your hands are perpetually exposed to environmental factors like sun, pollution and water, which damage them and make them look dull and dry. These stressors also lead to your hands ageing at a faster rate and causing wrinkles and pigmentation. You can slow down your hands’ ageing by investing in a hydrating hand cream. Choose a hand cream which is made with the goodness of natural ingredients which will nourish your hands and leave them feeling baby-soft.
Helps to maintain your nails
Your nails are highly prone to bacterial and fungal infections. Using a hand cream will help you keep your nails moisturised, and clean and keep dirt away. Look for hand creams which have natural ingredients like honey, almond oil, coconut oil and antioxidants which will help you keep your nails and hands ultra moisturised.

Makes your hand softer and smoother
Religious use of hand cream ensures that your hands are always soft and smooth. Hand creams have moisturising components which soften your nails, cuticles and skin. Hand creams restore the natural oils of your hands and hence they help to keep your hands smooth and soft. Hence, it is recommended that you apply hand cream on your hands multiple times throughout the day to treat dry and rough hands.
Protects against infection
Cracked hands can cause bacterial infections. You can prevent cracked and dry hands by having a good regime and regularly washing your hands and using a quality hand cream regularly to keep your hands clean and well moisturised. We recommend you invest in an anti-bacterial hand cream which will give maximum protection against infection.
Makes your hands smell amazing
Want to add a little pizzazz to your personality? Invest in a subtle and pleasant-smelling hand cream and use it on your hands whenever they feel dry. Hand creams not only help keep your hands moisturised but also come in many enticing fragrances which add to your charm and personality. However, if you are sensitive to smell, then you can always find a fragrance-free hand cream that will help you keep your hands soft and supple without irritating your allergies.
Applying hand cream does not have to be a chore. It can be a relaxing and spa-like experience if you do it the right way. Invest in a hand cream that smells divine and then massage it on your hands after a tiring workday to unwind and calm your nerves and anxiety. We recommend that you buy hand creams which have a soothing fragrance like lavender, rose and cherry blossom.
