How to Fix Super Dry Hands in Winter (Even With Constant Hand Washing)
Cold winter air, low humidity, indoor heating, and constant hand washing strip the skin of its natural oils—especially in colder regions and dry climates. Hands take the hit first because the skin is thinner and exposed all day long.
If your hands feel tight, flaky, rough, or irritated, your skin barrier wants help—not just more lotion.
The Secret: A True Barrier Hand Cream
Most hand creams add moisture… then wash right off. What winter-dry hands really need is a barrier cream that locks hydration in while protecting skin from water, soap, and harsh weather.
Bedrock Balm works differently. It forms a protective barrier on the skin while deeply nourishing with botanical oils—making it ideal for winter hands, frequent hand washing, and sensitive skin.
Why Bedrock Balm Works for Super Dry Hands
Bedrock Balm combines 20% zinc oxide (for barrier protection) with nutrient-rich plant oils that support and comfort dry skin:
-
Camellia Seed Oil – deeply nourishing and lightweight
-
Vitamin E – helps support the skin barrier
-
Meadowfoam Seed Oil – seals in moisture for long-lasting softness
-
Calendula Flower Extract – known for its calming properties
-
Rosehip Seed Oil – supports smooth, supple skin
The result? Hands that feel protected, comfortable, and noticeably softer—even during winter.
How to Use Bedrock Balm for Best Results
For winter-dry hands, consistency matters:
✔ Before bed:
Apply a generous layer of Bedrock Balm before sleep. This gives the balm uninterrupted time to support your skin overnight.
✔ First thing in the morning:
Apply again to protect hands before exposure to cold air, water, and soap.
✔ After frequent hand washing:
Bedrock Balm helps shield skin, even if you wash your hands many times a day—making it ideal for healthcare workers, parents, hairdressers, and anyone constantly at the sink.
What Customers Are Saying
Susan
"I am a hairdresser and my hands are always cracked. If I apply it before bed on my cracked spots they are soft and healed by morning. I am obsessed with this Bedrock Cream and honestly use it for everything skin related now. LOVE the ingredients and the smell. By using it daily the jar still lasts me at least 3 months!"
Ester
"I have used it a few times on some small eczema spots and on my winter dry hands. Each time, within a few minutes the irritation, itchiness, and dryness has calmed."
Anna
"I have recently been using this product and loving it! It smells so great and works great to heal dry skin on my hands. I would really recommend it!"
Maria
"I have purchased the Bedrock Balm because of dry skin for both myself and my 4 year old daughter. In fact, my daughter's hands were so bad that the skin on top of her hands was cracked and bleeding. The first day I put it on her hands she loved it right away. In fact, she really wanted to ensure that the white part stayed on rather than rub it all the way into her skin. So we lathered a lot on her hands. The next day her hands looked a lot better and within just a few days they healed really nicely. So I am definitely a fan and will continue to use it on dry skin especially hands and feet."

Cold weather, dry air, and frequent hand washing don’t have to win this winter.
