How to treat and prevent dry and cracked hands
What are the main causes of cracked hands?
Washing your hands throughout the day can lead to dry and cracked hands, as water tends to dehydrate the skin, leaving it dry and exposed to the environment. Using anti-bacterial gels frequently, can also dehydrate the skin as they contain alcohol.
Shea Butter’s biggest benefit is that it deeply nourishes and protects the skin. Our hands say so much about us, and it's important to take care of them.

Our simple 4-step Hand Care Routine
Step 1. Cleanse your hands
To prevent your hands from drying out, avoid using products with a drying effect, such as hydroalcoholic products. Instead, choose hand soaps with gentle formulas, like the Shea Hands & Body Wash, it contains 5% shea butter for added softness.
Step 2. Scrub your hands
Once or twice a week, use an exfoliator to eliminate dead skin cells and leave your hands ready to soak up all the benefits of a moisturising hand cream. The Shea One Minute Hand Scrub contains 10% Shea Butter, Apricot Kernel and Sunflower Seed Oils – rich in Vitamin E.
Step 3. Nourish your hands
An effective hand cream contains fatty substances and moisturising agents, such as Shea Butter, as well as antioxidants, such as Vitamin E. This moisturising blend lies behind the success of the Shea Butter Hand Cream, which has been one of L’OCCITANE's best selling products for over 20 years.
Step 4. Treat your hands
Another secret to beautiful hands is strong, well-looked-after nails and protected cuticles. Your cuticles are at the base of your nails and they play a protective role – so it's important to look after them. The Shea Nail & Cuticle Nourishing Oil nourishes and softens cuticles for stronger, shinier nails.
