Moisturizer should be used daily as part of your skincare regimen, and as needed when your skin is feeling dry. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, the most important time to apply moisturizer is immediately after bathing or washing your hands.1 Carrying a moisturizing, non-greasy hand cream to use after hand washing is one helpful way to help prevent dry hands when you’re on-the-go, such as CeraVe Therapeutic Hand Cream.
