Hand cream for men: always soft hands

Cleansing and hydrating your skin is very important. There are separate products for your face and the rest of your body. And then there is a special category of hydrating products for your hands and then we are talking about hand cream or hand balm.

For your face there are many different products to take good care of your skin and for your body there are also many options. On our blog you can find a lot of information about that, but this specific blog post is about hand cream for men.

What makes hand cream different from body lotion?

Your hands can dry out fast. Especially when it is cold or when you are a man working outside, your hands can feel dry and sometimes your skin get cracked. This can happen when you do not hydrate them enough.

A hand cream for men is usually less thick compared to a body lotion or moisturizer, because you do not want too long before it is absorbed by your hands. Because of this thinner consistency you need to reapply hand cream more often than a body lotion, because it dries out faster.

Why would I use a hand cream as a man?

Every skin ages and the skin on your hands is not any different. The skin on your hands maybe even ages faster, because your hands are always exposed to the elements.

Especially when you get older your skin will lose its elasticity and moisture. That is why there is so much emphasis on all these creams for your face, body and hands. Your skin's collagen production needs to be stimulated and your skin needs to be nourished with natural ingredients.

It is also not great that your hands are dry and cracked when you introduce yourself to people with a handshake. Or when you spend some time with your loved one for a massage or some intimacy, you definitely want soft hands.

So, hand cream is indispensable when you want to prevent getting dry or cracked hands in the winter or when you work outside a lot.

What hand cream is best for men?

There are of course many different hand creams available, but you want to choose the right one. And of course you want to pick a hand cream that has been formulated for men, so it suits your skin better and you will not be smelling like flowers.

How to use a hand cream for men?

It is important not to wait too long before starting to apply a hand cream. So, do not wait until your hands are dry or cracked already. In that case it will take way longer to restore the moisture balance again.

When it is getting colder again or when you work outside a lot, then it is important to start hydrating your hands. You can apply some before going to bed or during the day when you feel your skin needs some extra hydration.

So, it is also a matter of maintenance and reapplying these high-quality hand creams for men often. That way you are never too late and then your hands will stay hydrated. You might even still become a hand model.
