For dry skin on your hands and body, I recommend using a thick, fragrance-free moisturizing cream containing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or urea. Apply it immediately after showering while your skin is still damp to lock in moisture. For very dry hands, apply a healing ointment like Aquaphor or Vaseline before bed. Avoid harsh soaps, opting for gentle, hydrating cleansers instead, and use lukewarm water rather than hot. If your skin becomes cracked, painful, or itchy, a mild over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream can help. Consult a doctor if you see no improvement.
