What's the best hand cream for dry cracked skin? The secret to an effective hand cream is using plant-derived oils that replicate that skin's natural oils and get deeply absorbed for long-lasting softness. Take Aveda's hand relief™ moisturizing creme, with Andiroba Oil.

People have been asking the question, “can I use hand cream on my body?” for years. Some people find out for themselves that it's not the best option. This is because different types of lotion contain different ingredients. For instance, hand cream offers additional hydration to a part of the body that's particularly vulnerable to cold and dry. With additional sanitizing and hand-washing, you need to find the time to pamper your hands at home.

If you're wondering how to keep hands moisturized, there are plenty of steps you can take to combat dryness and keep hand skin soft and supple, such as:
• Avoid using hot water to wash hands because it can dry the skin out over time, use lukewarm water and a nourishing hand wash
• Always follow up hand-washing with our hand relief™ moisturizing creme to replenish natural oils that keep hands hydrated
• For a hand mask, use Aveda's moisturizing creme overnight. Slather hands with cream and wear disposable gloves while you sleep to lock moisture in

Your feet work very hard, and they deserve the best foot cream for cracked feet you can get. Take foot relief™ moisturizing creme, with Fruit Acids, Jojoba Oil, and Castor Oil to soften and moisturize feet while Tea Tree and Peppermint cool and invigorate. Plus, Lavender and Rosemary Oils keep feet smelling fresh. This rich formula deeply hydrates and revives sore, tired feet while smoothing out dry patches. Apply plenty of cream to freshly washed feet and use as often as required.

When you make something part of your routine, it's no longer a struggle or effort to do. While it takes a little time to form a habit, once it's implemented, it'll come as naturally as brushing your teeth or reaching for your morning coffee or tea. Your hands do so much for you, and a hand routine is just as important as any other skincare regimen.

Always be sure to apply moisturizer after you wash your hands, and use aromatherapy oil or essential oil every now and then for an aromatherapy experience. You can find more at-home wellness tips on Aveda's website.
