Does hyaluronic acid work on hands?

Can you put hyaluronic acid on your hands? Absolutely! Using a daily hand cream packed with hyaluronic acid, and SPF will ensure the skin on the hands are fully protected from damage with fine lines and areas of dryness combated, as well as a helpful boost in collagen giving them a replenished and youthful appearance.

Can I use Bath and Body Works body cream on my hands?

For more hand washing tips and tricks, check out Hand Soaps 101. Do I really need a hand cream? If you want soft hands, we'd say yes! While body lotion or cream can definitely take care of your hands as well, having a hand-specific cream is best – just like you'd use a separate hydrator for your face.

Whats the difference between Bath and Body Works hand cream and body cream?

The formulations of hand cream and body cream do vary for consideration of the skin being different textures and thicknesses. Hand cream may also dry out quicker, whereas body cream is generally thicker and absorbs more slowly.

Can I use Bath and Body Works hand cream on my face?

The bottom line Putting body lotion on your face once or twice probably won't cause any lasting harm. All the same, body lotion isn't meant for facial skin, so it could make some skin concerns worse. Sticking to products specifically formulated for your face will generally do more to benefit your skin in the long run.
