How often should I apply this hand cream, and is there a best way to use it? — Hand Cream for Dry Rough Skin with Hemp Oil and Urea 75ml - Workaholic's Care

Apply the cream whenever your hands feel dry, tight or rough, and reapply after every hand wash, after doing the washing-up or cleaning, and when you come in from cold or windy weather. Soap and water remove a hand cream from the skin, so one application in the morning will not be enough for a full working day. Use a small amount first, warm it between your palms and massage it into the knuckles, fingertips, cuticles and other visibly rough patches. The texture is more substantial than a thin lotion, so it takes a little longer to rub in; a pea-sized amount is a good starting point, then add more only where you can still feel tightness.

If your hands are already very rough, a slightly thicker layer before bed is a practical option because the cream stays on the skin for several hours. Keep the tube near a sink, in a bag or on a work desk so reapplication is easy. For sensitive or reactive skin, apply a little on one small patch first and observe how it feels before using it all over your hands. Avoid applying it to open cuts or broken skin. If dryness becomes painful, or if the skin shows changes that worry you, see a pharmacist or doctor rather than relying on a cosmetic cream.
