2. O’Keeffe’s Working Hands
The O’Keeffe’s Company was started over 25 years ago by a woman named Tara O’Keeffe, who developed the moisturizer for her diabetic father, who owned and manned a ranch. His hands were constantly cracking and splitting, and Tara, who was a pharmacist, wanted to find something to help him. When she couldn’t find anything, she decided to make her own!
Today people of all walks of life find themselves using O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Moisturizers, and that’s because it works! O’Keefe’s is effective because it creates a layer of protection on your skin, so that moisture cannot escape, and your hands won’t dry out as quickly or severely.
You can get O’Keeffe’s in most grocery and drug stores, as well as on Amazon! One jar is 4.5 oz, and only $5.89 if you order it from Amazon!
3. Burt’s Bees
Burt’s Bees has been making natural products since the 1980’s, when Burt Shavitz began tending to a beehive. He sold the honey to make a living and kept the beeswax, assuming he’d be able to use it for something, someday. That’s when Roxanne Quimby came into the picture and Burt’s Bees was officially born. The very first products they made were candles in 1984 and lip balm in 1991, and today, they’re one of the nation’s best-selling natural skin care lines.
Burt’s Ultimate Care Hand Cream is specially formulated for people who have incredibly dry hands. The main healing ingredients are baobab oil, pumpkin seed oil, and green tea extract. Reviewers claim it “works like magic” on their incredibly cracked and dry hands.
You can get this hand cream directly from the Burt’s Bees website for $12.99!
4. Duke Cannon Bloody Knuckles
Do your hands ever get so dry and damaged that it almost looks like you just fought in a cage match? Duke Cannon’s Bloody Knuckles repair balm is the product for you. Duke Cannon is the manliest version of hand creams, formulated to “repair the hands of workers, fighters, and world champions.”
Bloody Knuckles is made with lanolin, which is supposed to be a perfect moisturizer to repair hands without making them feel greasy and slippery. The goal of the formula is to ensure the ability to use your hands just as freely as before, just with less pain and bloody cracks.
You can get this awesome balm from Target for just $9.99!
5. Sol de Janeiro
Girls, if you haven’t heard of Sol de Janeiro, where have you been!? This brand was established as a way to make women love themselves and the bodies they are in. Their most popular product, Brazilian Bum Bum Cream, is to die for. Made to tighten and smooth the appearance of your booty, the Bum Bum cream is an easy sell.
Sol de Janeiro makes all their products smell the same, because it’s a lovely scent. Their scent is officially called Cheirosa ’62, but informally, it’s a blend of pistachio, salty caramel, and vanilla, which makes you feel like you’re sitting on a tropical beach somewhere warm… not battling the frigid winter months.
Check out Sol de Janeiro’s Brazilian Touch Hand Cream so that your hands can look, feel, and smell beautiful!
You can get various products from Sol de Janeiro’s beauty line from Sephora! The Brazilian Touch hand cream retails for $15.00!

Their Helping Hands hand cream is just another product mastered. With chamomile water, cocoa butter, honey, and shea butter, Helping Hands is meant to heal. All of Lush’s ingredients are ethically sourced, so you can feel confident about using their products. Handmade and with minimal “naked” packaging, Lush is worth a try!

Remember back in middle school, when puberty started and the pimples appeared? Neutrogena acne wash was probably your best friend. Now, you can rely on Neutrogena not only to heal oily, acne-prone skin, but to heal dry and cracked skin as well.
Neutrogena’s Norwegian formula hand cream is made with glycerin, which creates a protective layer of moisture on your skin to prevent dryness from occurring. It is especially perfect for those who have sensitive skin, as it is fragrance free and dermatologist tested, approved, and recommended. Therefore, don’t take my word for it; listen to the experts!
You can get Neutrogena products at your local drugstore or grocery store, or you can get this lotion from Target for just $3.69!
8. Glossier
Glossier is a sophisticated and high-quality beauty brand. They were founded in 2014 with the goal of “democratizing” beauty. They are serious about creating products that people want to wear, rather than products that people have to be told to wear. Glossier is all about creating products that are the best for each and every individual personality, because, as they say, “beauty is about having fun.”
Glossier’s hand lotion is described as a “second skin” for your hands, because it protects them from outside stressors, and holds in natural moisture. Made with meadowfoam seed oil and coconut fruit extract, it’s bound to smell nice and heal at the same time. It is also conveniently sold in a small “pod,” so that it can be taken anywhere and everywhere.
