She was only 30-years old but her hands looked much older.

After a year of complying with COVID-19 precautions such as applying hand sanitizer, frequent hand-washing, and wearing protective gloves at work, her hands were a mess. They were cracked, peeling, had a red rash and they hurt.

It didn’t help that she wore nitrile gloves on the job. To make matters worse, she developed urticaria which is a simple skin irritation caused by perspiration and lack of ventilation inside her gloves.

The worst part? Her hands were so rough, they felt like sand paper on her baby daughter’s face when she put her to bed at night.

She was well on her way to contact dermatitis, a skin disease which, in severe cases, can be chronic.

What was the solution?

She learned from her safety director that the best barrier of defense is more than wearing protective gloves. It’s healthy skin. And to institute healthy skin in her workplace, her safety director educated the company on proper skin care and dispensed O’Keeffe’s Working Hands hand cream to her and her team.

Why is O’Keeffe’s the number one hand cream brand?

The above “before and after” pictures tell the story but there’s more than just healing going on.

• When used daily, O’Keeffe’s is clinically proven to boost moisture levels, create a protective layer on the skin’s surface, and prevent further moisture loss.

• O’Keeffe’s is hypoallergenic.

• O’Keeffe’s Working Hands contains high concentrations of glycerin, which helps draw in and retain moisture.

• There are many packaging options to suit any industry.
