Dry Hands Be Gone!

I don’t know about you, but this winter has been pretty brutal on my hands. Every time the brisk air would touch my hands after washing them or using hand sanitizer, they would get super dry to the point of scabbing.

My usual shea butter wasn’t doing enough and I needed something specifically for my hands. Well, I found my holy grail for the winter months by Sḵwálwen Botanicals. Founded by Leigh, whose ancestral name is Styawat, this company uses seasonal plant-based ingredients to create luxurious skin care products. Leigh is a botanist following cultural teachings from her Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) First Nation heritage. Based in Canada, the shipping was fast and the packaging was super cute.

Using the combination of the restorative hand balm at night and the healing salve throughout the day, I noticed a massive improvement in my hands within 3 days of use. I just have to make sure that I stay consistent or else my hands will get incredibly dry again.

I use this at night before bed. The moisture dissolves into my skin with a light scent thanks to a blend of essential oils.

I use this throughout the day, which helps my dry hands. The scabbing tends to happen around my knuckles and this salve has been very helpful with healing this issue. This also has a fabulous light scent thanks to essential oils.

What do you use to reduce dry hands during the winter months?
