Do you want your hands to look soft and pretty? Hardworking hands need regular touches of TLC to look their naturally beautiful best.
Discover how to make your hands beautiful naturally as we share tips for building your best home hand care routine with a natural hand cream and hand wash.
Why do I need a hand care routine?
How can I hydrate my hands? Do I need to moisturise them every day? How can I help my hands heal fast? We’re often asked for tips on maintaining healthy hands, and we believe that everyone can benefit from a good home hand care routine.
Why? Well, your hands work harder than any other part of your body. Used in practically all of your daily activities, they have few sebaceous glands to keep them hydrated. They are also regularly exposed to drying detergents, pollutants, and temperature changes, meaning they are easily damaged and need a little help staying soft and healthy.
Your hands are also particularly vulnerable to ageing sun damage and can age prematurely. But with our routines for naturally beautiful hands, you don’t have to worry about that.
How to make your hands beautiful
You know how important it is to wash your hands regularly, but when did you moisturise them last?
A good hand cream is a skincare essential. It helps lock moisture into your hand's skin barrier, resulting in healthy, softer hands, which are better protected against bacteria and viruses.
Here are three ways to make your hands beautiful naturally:
1. Wash gently:
Wash your hands regularly using a non-drying hand wash. While soaps and alcohol-based sanitisers are effective, they can be very drying and may strip your hands of their precious moisture supplies.
Shop gentle hand washes:
2. Moisturise:
The key to keeping hands soft is to moisturise your hands several times a day using a natural hand cream formulated with hand-softening plant actives. We love Shea Butter, a deeply nourishing moisturiser which rich in vitamins A & E and a key ingredient in our natural and organic hand creams.
Shop Shea Butter hand creams:
Protect:
Wear gloves while washing dishes, cleaning and gardening to reduce your hands' exposure to drying chemicals and sun-ageing sunlight. To further shield against sun damage, apply an SPF to your hands daily, even when it's overcast.
