Just because the weather gets chillier, that doesn't mean your skin has to suffer. A hydrating hand cream can reverse even winter's worst effects — like cracking and scaliness — and it can even help prevent signs of aging and reduce the appearance of sun spots. But with hundreds of hand cream options out there, how do you know which one to choose?
To make it easier for you, we asked our editors to share their favorite formulas for hand creams — from hyaluronic acid-infused to SPF-packed — that'll help transform dry skin to smooth and supple any time of the year. We also included other noteworthy options we’ve tried over the years, and think you’ll really enjoy using.
