Apply a small amount to clean, dry hands and massage it over the backs of the hands, palms, fingers and around the nails until absorbed. The most useful times are after handwashing, after contact with detergents or water, and whenever the skin starts to feel dry or tight. Because the cream is intended for regular use, you can reapply it during the day as needed rather than waiting until the skin becomes very uncomfortable.
For drier hands, apply a slightly more generous layer in the evening and give it time to absorb before going to bed. This allows the moisturizing ingredients, including glycerin, shea butter and panthenol, to remain on the skin for longer without being immediately washed away. If you wash dishes, clean or use household detergents often, wearing protective gloves can also help reduce repeated drying; the cream then supports comfort after exposure rather than replacing protection.
Avoid applying it directly to open cuts or visibly damaged skin. If irritation, stinging or redness continues after use, stop using the product and seek professional advice.
