In the skincare world, 2024 saw a significant shift toward caring for more than just our faces—we finally recognized the need to care for our entire bodies. Even with a growing focus on body care, one area that often gets overlooked is our hands. Our hands endure daily wear and tear from constant exposure to harsh elements—whether it's the abrasive soaps we use while washing dishes or environmental factors like sun, wind, and temperature changes.
The Importance of Hand Care
Did you know that your hands are one of the first areas of the body to show signs of aging? It makes sense when you consider all the ways they’re exposed to different elements every single day. Sun, water, chemicals, and more can lead to dryness, premature aging, age spots, and skin irritation. Overlooking the delicate skin on our hands can leave us with rough skin and brittle nails over time.
But it’s not just about aesthetics! While having soft, smooth hands is beautiful, maintaining the skin barrier on your hands is essential. Without proper hand care, you may experience increased sensitivity and cracking of the skin, which can heighten the risk of infection. A weakened skin barrier makes your hands more susceptible to bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens.
Taking the time to care for your hands by moisturizing them properly and tending to them daily will give you gorgeous hands and help strengthen the skin barrier, reducing these issues!

Applying moisturizer to your hands after your skincare and body care routine will protect your skin and lock in moisture all day.

🧤 #2 During the fall, our hands can be more prone to cracking, dryness, and discomfort. Protect your hands while doing basic household chores by wearing gloves! Remembering to wear gloves when doing dishes, gardening, or cleaning can reduce your hands’ exposure to chemicals, hot water, and harsh elements—all of which can dry out your delicate skin!

Here at HGO, we love shielding our hands from the elements year-round with our Protect stick. Formulated with 20% non-nano zinc oxide, it filters out harmful UV rays and helps heal chapped skin. It’s also enhanced with raspberry seed oil, which is rich in vitamins A, C, and E and great for boosting skin immunity. Apply Protect to the tops of your hands before heading outdoors this fall to keep them radiant and shielded!
