Winter weather comes with what feels like a never-ending spell of dry, chapped skin. Even with our thickest gloves, our hands and nails seem to always get the worst of it. But not anymore. With proper care and products, your hands will start to feel soft and smooth, making scaly, uncomfortable skin a worry of the past. To pamper your palms (and nail beds), click through the slides.
Lush Salted Coconut Hand Scrub ($17): Enriched with coarse salt and coconut oil, this natural concoction effectively removes dry skin buildup to reveal softer skin underneath.
Jurlique Nail and Cuticle Treatment ($18): Made with hydrating almond and macadamia oils, as well as nail-strengthening rosemary extract, this nourishing oil keeps nail beds healthy and strong all winter long.
Kora Organics Daily Hand Cream ($15): Much like committing to facial moisturizer, applying a hydrating hand cream makes a huge difference in the texture of your palms. This one uses a mixture of healing noni extract, avocado, and olive oil to heal and replenish dry, cracked hands.
