Do your hands feel dry? Is your regular moisturizer simply not cutting it? Dry skin is a fact that we have to live with as we age. Our skin loses elasticity and moisture as we get older and that sometimes means itchy and dry skin.

The skin on our hands is particularly vulnerable and is exposed to the sun and other harmful elements more than other parts of our body. Also, it’s a part of the body that we wash several times a day with soaps or anti-bacterial gels. Over time, our hands can get wrinkly or crepey and also develop dark spots.

Here are our 9 favorite hand creams for older women:

1. La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Hand Cream – Best long-lasting hand cream.
2. StriVectin Anti-wrinkle Hand Cream – Best anti-wrinkle hand cream.
3. CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream – Best hand cream with Dimethicone.
4. L’Occitane Shea Butter Intensive Hand Balm – Best shea butter hand cream.
