The word "winter" often conjures joyous thoughts of holiday celebrations, snowball fights and New Year's resolutions. Less exciting are the ways that the season's cold, dry air can wreak havoc on our skin. And our hands can often bear the brunt of it — especially given how often we wash them. In that spirit, we rounded up a few of our favorite products to keep them hydrated, healthy and smooth all winter long. |

| "This is my go-to hand cream for people with fissures and severe dryness of the skin," says Dr. Dina Strachan, a dermatologist based in New York City. "It sticks really well to provide a protective barrier to the hands." She notes that O'Keeffe's is also an excellent choice for people with severe hand eczema or psoriasis. $8.44 $9.99 |

Dr. Elizabeth Houshmand, a dermatologist based in Dallas, Texas, loves this cream because it's fragrance-free and "has barrier repair ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid," she says. Plus, "it has a creamy formula that absorbs nicely into the skin without being greasy." $9.59 $10.99 |
| |
|
| Slathering up your hands before bed is an easy way to moisturize while you sleep, and Houshmand recommends this cream specifically as an overnight treatment. It contains fatty acids, antioxidants and vitamins to hydrate, soften and plump the skin. $34.99 |

According to the brand, this thick hand cream contains a whopping 40% glycerin, "which provides intense moisture and helps to restore the skin's natural barrier," says Dr. Angela Lamb, a dermatologist based in New York City. "The consistency is thick, but it absorbs well and offers long-lasting relief, making it a great choice for very dry or chapped hands." $5.49 |
| |
|
| Deeply moisturizing and containing a gentle exfoliant to smooth hands, this best-selling Eucerin hand cream feels luxurious on the skin (without any greasiness). "This hand cream is both effective and cosmetically elegant," says Strachan. "It keeps hands smooth and hydrated without making them sticky." $6.58 |

"I was amazed the first time I used this mask," wrote our reviewer. "I had an extremely red, flaky patchy of skin near my wrist that looked completely healed and back to normal after wearing the gloves for about 20 minutes." $3.69 |
| |
|
| Looking for a reusable option? These gloves come recommended by New York City-based dermatologist Dr. Debra Wattenberg, and are made with an inner gel lining that contains a blend of moisturizing oils, per the brand. They're even washable! $11.99 $14.99 |

There's dry skin and then there's really dry, cracked skin. If you're suffering from the latter, give Aquaphor's healing ointment a try. It's formulated with 41% petrolatum, which helps to gently heal cracks and dry spots. "It's a thicker product that's well-suited for dry hands, especially in the evening, and enriched with soothing lanolin for further hydration," says Dr. Robert Anolik, a New York City-based dermatologist. $18.37 $19.99 |

| The winner of a 2024 Shop TODAY Beauty Award, this cuticle oil comes recommended by editor Vivien Moon. "I keep this cuticle oil at my desk so that it's within reach and try to apply on a daily basis (I don't always remember) and have noticed an improvement in my cuticles even with my sporadic usage," she says. $9.99 |

This viral treatment "completely changed the game for the health and appearance of my nails," wrote our reviewer. It's made with keratin, which the brand says can both strengthen nails and stop peeling and chipping. Best of all, it's under $5! $4.48 |
| |
|
| Our reviewer was impressed by the durable and subtle tint that this product imparted on her nails. "It gets bonus points for keeping dry, brittle nails hydrated," she wrote, referring to the product's nail-strengthening formula that features ingredients such as keratin and vitamin E. $18.00 |
