With winter in full swing, cold temperatures and low humidity levels can take a toll on your skin—especially your hands. Proper winter hand care is essential if you struggle with dry, rough, or even painful hands due to conditions like eczema. Cold air, indoor heating, and frequent handwashing can strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving your hands irritated, cracked, and uncomfortable.
To keep your hands soft, hydrated, and protected throughout the colder months, it's crucial to adopt a winter hand care routine that restores moisture and creates a protective barrier. The Natralus Hand & Skin Shield Liquid Gloves & Intensive Repair Combo is specifically designed to repair dry, cracked, and calloused skin, offering lasting hydration and protection against harsh environmental elements.
1. Moisturise Regularly
One of the most important steps to combat dryness is to moisturise frequently throughout the day. In winter, lightweight lotions may not provide enough hydration, so opting for a deeply nourishing hand cream is key. Look for natural ingredients that replenish moisture and restore your skin barrier.
Key Ingredients to Look For:
- Shea Butter – Rich in vitamins and essential fatty acids that deeply nourish the skin.
- Aloe Vera – Soothes irritation and hydrates dry, cracked hands.
- Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that protects against damage and promotes healing.
- Glycerin – Draws moisture into the skin and helps lock it in for lasting hydration.
👉 Try This: Our Hand & Skin Shield Intensive Repair is formulated with ultra-nourishing natural ingredients to combat dryness, leaving your hands soft, smooth, and protected.
2. Protect with Liquid Gloves
Cold, dry air can strip your hands of essential moisture, making them more prone to irritation, cracking, and redness. Our Hand & Skin Shield Liquid Gloves act as a protective skin barrier, sealing in hydration while safeguarding your hands from environmental stressors.
🔹 Benefits of Liquid Gloves:
✔ Creates an invisible barrier against environmental damage
✔ Helps prevent moisture loss throughout the day
✔ Non-greasy formula that allows skin to breathe
✔ Continues protection even with repeated hand washing
Whether braving the cold, frequently sanitising your hands, or dealing with sensitive skin, Liquid Gloves provide long-lasting protection to keep your hands feeling soft and healthy.
3. Wear Gloves When Outside
Wearing thermal gloves can significantly prevent moisture loss when venturing out in cold weather. Exposure to freezing temperatures can cause your hands to become chapped and irritated. Choose insulated gloves made from materials like wool or fleece to keep your hands warm and protected.
💡 Tip: If you frequently deal with dry, cracked skin, apply an extra layer of hand cream before putting on your gloves to lock in moisture and provide additional protection.
4. Avoid Harsh Soaps & Sanitisers
Many hand soaps and sanitisers contain alcohol and synthetic fragrances that strip your skin of natural oils, worsening dryness and irritation. Instead, opt for a gentle, moisturising hand wash or sanitiser that cleanses effectively without causing damage.
✅ Look for: Natural, soap-free cleansers enriched with hydrating ingredients like aloe vera and coconut oil.
❌ Avoid: Soaps with sulphates, artificial fragrances, and alcohol-based sanitisers that dry out the skin.

5. Stay Hydrated
While external hydration is crucial, don't forget to nourish your skin from within. Drinking enough water helps maintain your skin's moisture levels and prevents dehydration.
💦 Aim for at least 8 glasses of water per day to support healthy skin hydration, even in winter when you may not feel as thirsty.
6. Exfoliate Gently
Exfoliating once or twice a week helps remove dead skin cells, allowing your moisturiser to penetrate more effectively. However, be gentle! Over-exfoliating can cause further irritation and dryness.
🔹 Best exfoliating ingredients for hands:
- Fine sugar or salt scrubs
- Oatmeal for sensitive skin
- Lactic acid (found in milk and yogurt) for gentle exfoliation
After exfoliating, always follow up with a rich hand cream to replenish moisture.
Why Winter Hand Care Matters
During colder months, many people experience increased sensitivity, itchiness, and even painful cracks on their hands. If untreated, extreme dryness can lead to conditions like dermatitis and exacerbate skin issues like eczema.
By incorporating the right skincare routine, you can keep your hands healthy, hydrated, and free from discomfort all season long.
Our Hand & Skin Shield Intensive Repair & Liquid Gloves are perfect for repairing, protecting, and maintaining soft, healthy hands throughout winter.

Intensive Repair Customer Reviews:
⭐ Char - 5 stars
"The real deal. I originally received this product as a sample and was so impressed that I had to buy it. Now and again, my hands get very dry, along with cracked skin on my knuckles that sting. That's when I use this beauty. It fixes it right up! This product is thick and smells nice."
⭐ Cazzen - 5 stars
"The best hand cream. I have to say I have tried many hand creams, most of which do nothing and don't live up to their promises. This product is amazing. It absorbs well into the skin and does what it says—repairs dry hands. Rather than using a hand cream every day like I did with other products, this one needs to be used less often. It's a lifesaver during the winter months or when handling lots of paper at work."
