Best Hand Cream for Dry, Cracked Skin

Okay.... Drop everything!! I have found the hand lotion that would put all hand lotions to bed instantly!!!! I am so excited to introduce the lotion that took my dry ass hands from Ashy to GRACE!

But before I start... Lets get an intro.

Hi Y'all!

If you normally read my blog you will know I just had a makeover, a change in my layout, and YES Gurl! I am excited and I laaaav it! It's so much cleaner and I am impressed by the swiftness of using the template. Hope you love it as much as I do. Anyway back to my latest hype... Hand cream!

OMGGGG!! So you know how I always tell you my skin in dry as f*ck? Usually my hands get scaly, dry, cracked, ______ insert any word that fits in this category. I can’t wash my hands without applying lotion immediately, unless it cracks really badly. See for yourself in the image. I started drinking a lot of water but that didn't help. The worse part is I wash my hands so often that I think it is one of the major reasons my skin is too dry. I have always battled with it. I try different lotions but it all works temporarily, but this one lotion is a game changer. My sister recommended into me after I complained and she swore by it, that it transforms your hands, and THAT IT SURELY DID.

Product Name: Aquaphor Healing Ointment: Advanced Therapy for dry, cracked or irritated skin

Purchased at: Duane Reade

Problem: Dry, Scaly hands

Describe the brand: Most of their products are for healing dry skin. Very affordable and can be found in most drug stores.

What is this for: This hand cream restores, heals and treats dry, cracked skin to its healthy form. It is the self claimed #1 recommended product for dry skin. And I must agree.

What's in it: Active Ingredients: Petrolatum

Inactive Ingredients: Mineral Oil (Paraffinum Liquidum), Ceresin, Lanolin Alcohol, Panthenol, Glycerin, Bisabolol (L-Alpha)

How does it smell: No smell. Fragrance free

How does it feel on the skin? This consistency is like an ointment not a cream. Melts as you rub in and apply heat between you palms.

How to use it: Take a pea amount as shown in the picture, and rub all around affected areas, in my case all over my hands.  Overtime you wash it.

How long before you should see results: immediately.

How long did it last: After I applied it, I checked back after 3 hours to see if my hand had absorbed all the hand cream. See the pic your self... It looked like the cracks and ash was never there. I fell in love!

Size: Its 1.75oz. Pretty small but with the pea amount you apply, I'm sure it would last me a long time.

What’s not so good about it: No complains here. It can be a bit oily if you use too much.

Would I purchase/repurchase: Definitely! Will do.

Final Thoughts:  This is by far the best hand cream I have ever used, and trust me with dry hands like mine, I have tried almost every hand cream and none gave me this result. I also tried it on my feet and woooooow! It worked really well!  I recommend it and rate this product a thumbs up!

So tell me, have you tried this hand cream before? If not, what's your favorite hand cream?
