What to look for in a hand cream

A hand cream works by putting back moisture and by forming a light layer that slows down moisture loss from the skin. Humectants such as glycerin attract water, while oils and butters soften and protect. Rich creams suit very dry or cracked skin, and lighter lotions absorb faster during the working day. If you wash your hands many times a day, apply cream after each wash rather than once in the evening. Fragrance can irritate sensitive skin, so a fragrance-free formula is safer if your hands react easily. A hand cream does not treat eczema or infections. For persistent redness or open cracks, see a doctor or pharmacist.

Hand cream for people who work with their hands

Hairdressers, barbers and beauty professionals wash their hands often and handle shampoo, colour and styling products. This strips the natural oils from the skin. A cream with a fast-absorbing texture is practical, because it does not leave residue on tools or clients. Keep a small tube at your station and apply it between clients. A richer cream works better as an overnight treatment, ideally under cotton gloves.

Tips for use

Apply cream to slightly damp skin after washing, so it holds more moisture. Pay attention to the knuckles, cuticles and the skin between the fingers. Use a small amount and add more if needed.

What is in the Mediceuticals range here

The Mediceuticals products listed for this brand are aimed at the scalp and hair, not at the hands. They include kits such as the Mediceuticals Scalp Treatment Kit for Dry Scalp and the Mediceuticals Healthy Hair Kit. There are also Phytoflavone shampoos and conditioners, and styling products like the Mediceuticals Versatile Styling Foam. None of these replace a hand cream. Look at the product pages to see whether a hand cream is currently available.

Choosing between a cream, a lotion and a balm

Creams have a medium thickness and suit normal to dry hands in daily use. Lotions are lighter and absorb quickly, which makes them practical for use during work. Balms and ointments are the richest and work best for very dry or chapped skin, mostly at night. In summer a lighter texture is often enough, while winter calls for something richer. Check the ingredient list if you have known allergies.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I apply hand cream?
Apply it after every hand wash if your skin is dry, and at least once in the evening. Frequent washing removes the cream, so reapplying is what keeps the skin comfortable.
Which hand cream is best for very dry or cracked hands?
A rich cream or balm with oils or butters usually works best, applied overnight. If the cracks are deep, bleed or do not heal, see a doctor.
Does Mediceuticals make hair products as well?
Yes, the Mediceuticals range at Haarshop.com mainly consists of scalp and hair care, such as scalp treatment kits, shampoos and styling products.
Can hand cream treat eczema?
No. A regular hand cream moisturises and protects, but it is not a treatment for eczema or other skin conditions. Ask a doctor or pharmacist for medical advice.
Can I use hand cream on my scalp or hair?
It is not recommended. Hand creams are not made for the scalp and can leave it greasy. For a dry or oily scalp, use a product made for that purpose, such as a scalp treatment kit.
