Look down at your hands, now back at this post. Do you need to reach for some hand cream? It's okay, go ahead and dig in your bag. We won't judge.

Moisturized hands are happy hands. Have you ever reached out to shake someone's hand and it hurts to event separate your fingers? (We know, awful imagery)

We want you to shake, clap, snap, and offer your best set of "jazz hands" with confidence. We've pulled together a list of our favorite hand creams that will leave your hands smooth, but never greasy.

Soap and Glory Hand Food - Excuse us while we dig into the deepest depths of our adult vocabulary to describe the scent of this hand cream. It smells like fruity, fruity, floral goodness with unicorn sprinkles. Not only does this hand cream smell like dreams, but it soaks right into the skin, but leaves them looking supple and slightly glowing.
Award for: Best Scent

Lano - Remember that beautiful image that we painted earlier of the dry, cracking hands. Ya, sorry to do that again. We're hoping it never gets to that point, but if it does, this is the hand lotion that you will want to reach for. This one is the instant cure. The minute you apply this thick creme, it soaks into every crease in your hands and gets to work.
Award for: Fastest Working

L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream - This hand cream is tried and true. We love it so much because, applied once in the morning, you can make it through most of the day with as many hand washes as you can handle. It's the ultimate hand salve.
Award for: Best After Multiple Washes

Trader Joe's Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream (only available in stores) - This is the affordable cousin of the L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream. It's super thick and works really well. At this price point, there's no harm in trying this one out.
Award for: Best Value
