For Working Hands

Handing garden tools all day or creating beautiful pieces as an artist: some professions are harder on hands than others. If yours are the heart of your livelihood, choose a rich hand moisturizer such as our Shea Butter Hand Cream. This opulent hand balm is made from 20% Shea Butter, which has been used for centuries by the women of Burkina Faso to protect their skin against dry desert winds. Our award-winning formula is absorbed quickly, so it doesn’t leave an oily residue. This means you can use it throughout the day without disturbing your work.

For Working Hands

If you’re using your hands for heavy lifting, tools, or repetitive tasks, your skin takes a beating. Dryness, cracking, and even calluses. It’s no joke.

Opt for a hardworking formula like our Tough Hands intensive cream. Our best-selling cream repairs dry, cracked skin fast, thanks to a clinically proven formula packed with hero ingredients. Urea and Sodium PCA deeply hydrate and seal in moisture, while Vitamin E helps restore and heal damaged skin. Natural AHAs gently exfoliate rough patches and calluses without scrubbing, and Dimethicone forms a protective, non-greasy barrier to guard against further damage. With added Lemon Myrtle and Tea Tree Oil to defend against minor cuts and infections, it’s the ultimate hand care solution for tradies, nurses, and anyone who works with their hands.

For Cold Weather

Whether you’re heading off to cut through soft powder on an Alpine ski holiday or you’re battling the chill at home, it’s important to keep your hands feeling nourished and protected during cold weather. Exposure to freezing temperatures can leave hands feeling dry even if you enrobe them in gloves. Look for luxuriously formulated products such as our Shea butter Intensive Hand Balm. Infused with 25% shea butter, this ultra-rich hand cream is your best ally for cold weather, ideal for helping to reparse your weather-beaten hands as you sip hot chocolate in front of a roaring log fire.

For Warm Weather

While languorous days basking on sandy beaches and afternoons spent drinking tea in the garden are fantastic for our mental health, sunny weather can take its toll on hands. Choose a hand moisturizer that protects you skin from the rays while refreshing and hydrating after dips in the salty ocean. Our Almond Delicious Hands cream is a silky-smooth cream that helps nourish and soften the hands while enveloping them with the subtle and mouthwatering scent of fresh Almonds. Our non-greasy formula has a creamy texture, perfect for hydrating hands throughout the day.

DU’IT’s fast-absorbing formulas like Tough Hands for Her work just as well in summer as they do in winter, with no slippery finish. Tip: keep one in your handbag or car for easy reapplication throughout the day.
