Your hands are your calling card. Whether you’re gesturing, greeting someone, working, or on the go – your hands are always in focus. All the more reason to care for and protect them so they stay soft, smooth, and youthful-looking.
Here are our top three tips for perfectly cared-for hands.
Exfoliation Matters!
Body and facial exfoliation are part of many weekly routines – but do you also exfoliate your hands?
To keep your hands soft and smooth, you should use an exfoliant once a week. This helps remove dead skin cells and calluses while cleansing the skin thoroughly. Even hands stressed by hard work or frequent sanitizing can regain their softness.
Sun Protection – for Your Hands Too!
Most of us apply sunscreen to our face and body, but often forget about our hands. Yet they are among the areas most frequently exposed to the sun. UV radiation can cause wrinkles and dark spots, making hands appear older than they are. So make sure to protect your hands with sunscreen as well.
Moisturize, Moisturize, Moisturize!
Frequent handwashing and daily activities can take a toll on your hands. They can become dry, rough, and cracked. That’s why it’s essential to hydrate them regularly – ideally after every hand wash, before bedtime, and throughout the day. To make it easier, keep a nourishing hand cream like the Herbacin kamille Hand Cream/a> within reach: by the sink, on your desk, in your jacket pocket, on your nightstand, or in your handbag.
That way, you’ll never forget to care for your hands.
