Winter is notoriously tough on hands. The cold, dry air can leave the skin feeling perpetually robbed of moisture and, as any hand cream obsessive knows, few formulas are powerful enough without being overly greasy. Below, three experts whose hands are integral to their work — the dermatologist Michelle Henry, the ceramist and furniture designer Simone Bodmer-Turner and the hand model Avisha Tewani — share how they protect their skin from the elements.

Our palms don’t have oil glands, so I moisturize my hands three or four times a day. I use a moisturizing hand wash from Dove and then apply Neutrogena’s Norwegian Formula Hand Cream — it has petroleum in it to prevent water loss, but not so much that it leaves hands oily and sticky.

At night, I apply a hand mask. Aquaphor has a good one. I also love wearing gel-lined gloves to bed; they’re great for locking in moisture overnight. I’m brand agonistic, but you can find them on Amazon, and they’re easier than doing those hot paraffin-oil hand dips.

If your hands are really cracked,22win casino you can soak them in a colloidal oat bath treatment, such as Aveeno’s, with lukewarm water for 10 minutes. Pat your skin dry, put on your hand cream or hand mask and slip on your gel gloves; that’s a perfect bedtime routine. For serious cases, a dermatologist can prescribe a topical steroid cream to bring down inflammation and a prescription dermal moisturizer like EpiCeram, which penetrates really deeply.

His lawyers admitted that he had carried out the shooting, but they said he was so unwell at the time that he could not know that what he was doing was wrong.

I work with clay, plaster and wood all day, since I’m restoring an old barn in Massachusetts right now. Afterward, I wash my hands with Saipua’s Cedarwood soap, which is non-stripping and moisturizing; the brand’s products are made by sheep farmers in New York and have the best herbaceous scents. I’m in the process of converting to dark hand towels to handle country life, and my friend recommended Mara Organic’s Waffle Towels in Midnight. They’re soft and nice for your hands.
