In this period, as never before, ours hands cry out for help! We have to wash as if there is no tomorrow, but, how can we combine business with pleasure? Wash them but without cracking them? The answer is Dr. Nathalie Broussard, Director of Scientific Communication of Shiseido
In this moment in which we do not go out - or in any case we go out much less - the ultra dry hydroalcoholic gel can be replaced by the simple hand washing with soap and water. To prevent this repeated action from drying our hands, here is the guide to follow:
Choosing the right cleaner
If the skin is dry opt for detergents more delicate, such as a rinsing cleansing oil or a foaming facial cleanser, to be used only once every three washes. If your hands are sore and red, don't hesitate to "wash" them from time to time with cream. The surfactants cleanse the hands, while the actives Skincare of the formula pamper the skin.
Avoid water that is too hot
It weakens the protective film of the skin. Set the thermostat to one lukewarm temperature or, better yet, fresh.
Dry your hands
Do not let the water dry on its own, as it may further dehydrate the skin. Dab instead of scrubbing to avoid further irritation. Of course, apply the cream after each wash and don't forget to massage your nails and cuticles!
Beauty tip:
Create a "homemade" restructuring hand mask by mixing a tablespoon of coconut butter and a teaspoon honey tea. Wrap your hands in cellophane for 10-15 minutes.
