#Nurses Say This $15 Hand Balm Makes Dry Hands Feel Baby Soft

Winter is coming, and along with endless loops of “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” there’s one thing you can count on: dry, cracked hands that are starved for moisture in the frigid winter air. The solution? A thick, hydrating hand balm that will restore your skin’s health and prevent painful cracks. After hours of intense searching, we stumbled upon this hidden gem that’s won the hearts (and hands) of nurses everywhere — and it’s marked down to $15 for Black Friday.

The O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream has a concentrated formula (translation: it’s thick) that’s designed to heal and prevent cracked hands. First, it instantly delivers a surge of moisture to your skin’s thirsty barrier, boosting moisture levels back to normal. Then, it locks the moisture in with a protective layer that helps prevent moisture from leaking out. With each application, your hands will feel softer, smoother, and oh-so-soothed.

But to see if this hand cream really works wonders, we turned to the experts: nurses, who have to constantly wash and sanitize their hands during long shifts (which can lead to dryness and cracking). Turns out, nurses have been raving about O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream for months, calling it a “constant standby” in their self-care routine.

“I am a nurse and tend to have very dry hands year round so decided to try it myself,” writes one nurse. “I absolutely love this product! It goes on smooth, soaks in fast, and leaves my hands feeling soft without being oily. My dry itching hands are a thing of the past.” Another nurse especially loves the texture, which she says “goes on smoothly and penetrates dry skin easily” for a “silky smooth” finish.

Adds another satisfied nurse, “I put this on at night before bed and wake up to restored hands. Seriously, it’s like a miracle.” An overnight treatment that works while you sleep? Say less.

One last pro tip from the nurses: Using O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream regularly will improve your hands’ texture over time. “After about 10 days, my hands were very soft, softer than they have been in years,” explains another nurse who goes on to call her hands “baby soft.”

The O’Keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream is normally $17, but right now you can grab it for $15. Add it to your cart today so your hands are prepped and moisturized before the dry winter air really kicks in.
