Between sanitizing, glove wearing and hand washing, COVID-19 has had a major impact on dry and sensitive skin. On top of the transition to cooler temperatures, those prone to irritation have been burdened by cracks, cuts and itchiness for months. While it’s important to keep our hands clean in order to stop the spread of germs this season, it’s just as important to give them some TLC. If your hands need therapy this fall, these luxurious, non-greasy hand creams are sure to give you (or your favourite frontline worker) some relief. —Anastasia Barbuzzi
