items Our hands do so much for us. This has been a brutal winter so far and it's showing up in my hands. In my case, I use my hands ALL DAY. Illustrating, calligraphy, baking, house chores - my hands are constantly dry and cracked. And for some reason my c...

Hand care is also a ritual.
I was first introduced to this hand cream by my friend in college. We both suffered through the grueling art curriculum together and had dry, cracked hands. She showed me this hand cream and honestly back then it was too expensive for me. Now I compl...
L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream
When my hands and feet are extremely rough, itchy, dry and burning I will pull out my Like Butter moisturizer. I use this anywhere I have bad eczema flare ups (usually my hands in winter). Not only does it work, but it also qualifies for FSA spending...
Topicals Like Butter Moisturizer for Dry, Sensitive, Eczema-Prone Skin
Approved by the National Eczema Association! You can use Avene's XeraCalm line anywhere. The amazing packaging Avene uses allows them to not put in any preservatives into their cream. It's genius and I was able to use every last drop.
XeraCalm A.D Lipid-Replenishing Cream
Genuinely I believe Biossance is underrated. I have never had skin issues using their products and they definitely are experts in skincare science. Fatty acids are essential for skin health. This hand cream has squalane and omega fatty acids to deliv...
Biossance Squalane + Omega Repair Hand Cream
For the scent lovers. What Aesop does best is make skincare with amazing scents. If you want a hand cream that will give you a high end, ritualistic experience while providing supple moisture, I don't think you could go wrong with Aesop.
Aesop Resurrection Aromatique Hand Balm
Another Fatty acid formula, but in a stick form! Makes it super easy to glide onto areas that need it. This stick has also been approved by the National Eczema Association.

This hand cream is excellent for the price. It has colloidal oatmeal which has always been effective for my eczema. It does feel quite heavy, but somehow not greasy.
Gold Bond Medicated Eczema Relief Hand Cream, 3 OZ
While you cannot buy this online, I wanted to provide this as an option in the budget category. Many have compared this hand cream to L'Occitane (although they say the smell is not as pleasant). I have not tried it myself as it tends to always be sol...
Trader Joe's Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream
A fantastic choice for people who need a thick seal on cracked skin. Keep in mind It is very heavy, but works as quickly as it feels heavy to heal your skin.
O'Keeffe's Working Hands Moisturizing Hand Cream
This used to come in a tub form and has changed to a tube. I gifted this to a family member who also was always working with his hands. He was knee deep in so many home improvement projects and it made a wonderful gift!
