Facial skincare often gets the most attention, from carefully chosen serums to moisturisers designed for different skin concerns. Hands, meanwhile, are washed repeatedly, exposed to cleaning products and left vulnerable to wind and cold. Dryness can develop gradually until the skin feels rough, tight or uncomfortable.
Dr Gabriela Skincare, the luxury cosmetics line created by aesthetic specialist Dr Gabriela Mercik, offers a wider personal care context for consumers who want to give neglected areas the same consideration as their facial routine. Based in London, the brand brings a premium approach to skincare that includes hand-focused care among its product categories.
Why Hands Often Become Dry
Hands are exposed to frequent washing, temperature changes and substances that can affect the skin's protective barrier. Detergents, household cleaners and prolonged contact with water may contribute to dryness, especially when the skin is already sensitive.
