The most common use of hand creams is for daily skin care. Frequent washing, exposure to harsh chemicals, and environmental factors often lead to dry, cracked skin. Hand creams moisturize and soften the skin, making it feel smooth and healthy. They are also used to treat skin conditions such as eczema, dermatitis, and other forms of skin irritation. Special formulations are designed with soothing and healing ingredients like aloe vera, chamomile, and calendula, which relieve itching, redness, and inflammation.

In addition to skin health, hand creams are often used to beautify the skin. Many hand creams include anti-aging ingredients such as retinol or peptides that improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and promote youthful-looking hands. Hand creams are frequently used as a protective barrier to shield the skin from harsh environmental conditions. Cold weather, hot water, UV radiation, and pollutants can damage the skin, leading to dryness and premature aging. Hand creams with SPF or antioxidant properties protect the skin from these environmental stressors.
