How to hydrate your hands daily?

Repeated hand washing, detergents, soap, or even hand sanitiser are factors that promote hand dehydration. Indeed, the daily and frequent use of soap or hand sanitiser several times a day damages the lipid protective film of the epidermis, whose role is to protect the skin. Without protection, it easily dehydrates and then becomes prone to redness and feelings of discomfort. Here are some actions that will allow you to keep your hands hydrated:

• Opt for a hydroalcoholic solution rich in emollient active ingredients (glycerol/glycerine, aloe vera, etc...) to maintain good skin condition;

• Wash your hands with a gentle cold-processed soap which has the advantage of being rich in vegetable glycerin and vegetable oil. It allows you to wash your hands while moisturising and nourishing the skin;

• Rinse your hands with lukewarm water and not with hot water, as this promotes skin dryness;

• Wear gloves when you go out in winter. Indeed, the cold has a drying effect on the skin;

• When you apply your nourishing balm, remember to massage your hands to stimulate blood circulation.

All these actions help to maintain the hydration of the hands. However, it is necessary to apply a moisturising treatment to keep the skin supple and soft. You can use the nourishing balm with 10 ingredients that helps to hydrate the skin and strengthen the skin barrier. It notably contains hyaluronic acid, organic coconut oil, and sunflower oil.

Hyaluronic acid is renowned for its moisturising properties. Indeed, this molecule can retain the equivalent of a thousand times its weight in water. It deeply hydrates the skin and maintains this hydration over time. Rich in saturated fatty acids, coconut oil nourishes the skin and helps to prevent dehydration by creating a protective film on the surface, leaving the skin soft to the touch. On the other hand, sunflower oil helps to combat oxidation and contributes to the protection of the skin against free radicals.
