The skin on your hands might be dry or even cracked from the new hand-washing and sanitizing methods to hopefully keep the coronavirus at bay. The WHO has hand-washing guidelines if you’re wondering how to wash your hands as effectively as possible.

And while hand-washing is very important, it might also be temporarily destroying the skin on your hands. We rounded up hand creams and hand masks from Sephora, Ulta, Target and Amazon that will help repair your hands and keep them moisturized during this public health crisis. Ulta is also in the middle of its 21 Days of Beauty Sale, so you can take advantage of discounts of up to 50 percent off.

Kiehl’s is well known for creating effective moisturizers for your face and hands. This Hand Salve repairs and protects your hands from further damage. After applying it to your hands, the Hand Salve allows your hands to draw moisture from the air to form a protective layer over your skin. It’s made of natural wax, olive oil and a mix of botanical oils.

A great budget option, this Neutrogena hand cream received 4.5-stars from more than 1,400 reviewers. This fragrance-free hand cream contains glycerin, which helps make hands feel soft and smooth.
