Moisturising your mitts? Essential.

While disconcerting men, such as yourself, should already be well ahead of the male-manicure and hand-moisturising game, there is a small chance you and your metrosexual pride is, well, not. Time for that to change. Dry hands from all the Dettol? Good! It means you’re practicing a healthy dose of sanitisation and hygiene, however sticking to a rigorous hand-washing routine shouldn’t mean your paws resemble that of a nomad lumberjack. There is, in fact, an alternative.

Meet your new best friend: The hand moisturiser. Not just reserved to sit alongside the Werther’s Originals in your Nan’s purse, moisturiser should be a key part of your grooming routine through the pandemic and beyond.

We’ve rounded up the best, Esquire-team approved, deeply moisturising and sexily-scented hand-creams for your perusal (that’s right, a perfumed paw is *sexy*). Click add to basket and be desperately smug that your handshakes post social-distancing will be both firm and softer than a baby’s cheek. You’re welcome.
