Most, if not all of us, know that washing our hands frequently and thoroughly is one of the simplest ways to limit the spread of coronavirus COVID-19. However, repeated washing along with regular slathering of hand sanitizers can severely dry out the skin, leaving hands and nails in desperate need of a little TLC. And we also know the sticky lotion doesn’t do much other than leaving the hands sticky until 4 minutes later when you have to wash or sanitize them again, and the cycle continues. That said, all of us are playing our part in minimizing the spread of coronavirus, but your hands don’t have to suffer in the process; that’s if you can help it. And that’s where our hand care tips come in.

We’ve compiled a list of some of the best moisturizing creams (available online) to help keep your hands hydrated after each wash.
