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.
