Use the cream on clean, dry hands and massage it in until evenly distributed. Pay attention not only to the backs of the hands and palms, but also to the cuticles, nail edges and areas that often become rough, such as knuckles. For nail care, gently working the cream into the cuticle and surrounding skin helps keep that area comfortable and less dry-looking.
For daily use, apply it after hand washing, before going outdoors in harsh weather, or after contact with detergents or other drying household products. If your hands are very dry, applying a slightly thicker layer in the evening can be helpful; you can let it absorb before touching fabrics or screens. The formula contains glycerin and hyaluronic acid for moisture retention, plus shea butter, avocado oil and almond oil to support softness, so consistent use is more useful than applying a large amount only occasionally.
A small amount is usually enough to start; add more only if your skin still feels dry after absorption. Avoid applying it directly to open cuts or broken skin, and avoid contact with the eyes. Because the formula includes botanical extracts and tea tree oil, people with known sensitivities should test a small amount on a limited area first and discontinue use if discomfort occurs.
