Skin care for dry and cracked hands

If your hands are dry, chapped or rough, try this skin care for your dry and cracked hands that will give your hands their softness and smoothness back.

Your hands are the part of your body that you use the most during the day: type at the computer, cooking, transporting bags, cleaning. So, unintentionally, you expose your hands to constant “aggressions” like water, cold, wind, soil, sun, etc. With the combination of these elements, you fragilize the delicate skin of your hands; it can become dry and crack, and create small lesions.

Tip # 1 – Clean your hands with lukewarm water.

Since you probably clean your hands several times a day, use lukewarm water to do so, and use only a small amount of soap. After, rinse your hands thoroughly, once again with lukewarm water. Using hot water and too much soap will dry out your skin quicker.

Tip # 2 – Exfoliate your hands

If you have parched hands, exfoliate your hands once or twice a week, according to the season. You can use an exfoliating gel with fine grains on your hands. This skincare will make easier for your hand cream’s active ingredients to penetrate your skin.

Our recommendation: Exfoliating Shower Gel

Tip # 3 – Moisturize your hands every night with a repairing cream

Choose a hand cream with a thick texture to moisturize your hands deeply. Do a mild massage to your hands to make the cream penetrate your skin. For optimal effect, apply your hand cream and put on cotton gloves during the night. In the morning, your hands will be softer, and all the damage will be gone.

Our recommendation: Nourishing Hand Cream

If you apply this skin care for dry and cracked hands during all seasons and will help you pamper your hands while keeping them healthy and young.

With chilly winds and weather that are coming, it is time to take care of your skin and body before winter. Here are some easy skin care tips for Fall, for face and body, that will keep  your skin healthy and hydrated.

Tip # 1 : Use an alcohol-free toner.

Unfortunately, toners that contain alcohol as an ingredient, will absorb your skin’s natural oils. When applied straight after your skin cleanser, the alcohol-free toner will eliminate sweat, oil excess, but will refresh your tired complexion, while clearing your skin from impurities, that can form comedones or blackheads.

Our recommendation: Hypo-Sensible Toner (alcohol-free)

Tip # 2 – Use moisturizing creams.

Using a moisturizing cream during Fall is essential to maintain your skin young and healthy. During months before winter, there is less humidity in the air, that can cause dehydration and dull your skin. Your best choice will be to opt for a moisturizing cream that contains vitamins, essential oils and nourishing ingredients like aloe vera and chamomile extract.

Our recommendations : Extra-Rich Cream

Tip # 3 : Apply a moisturizing beauty mask once or twice a week.

If your skin is oily or mixed, choose a clay-based mask that will tightens and reduce dilated pores. For moisturizing masks, include it in your weekly beauty routine during Fall, since your skin needs to be nourished more during that period.

Our recommendations: Stimulating and Moisturizing Mask – Softness Mask

Tip # 4  : Exfoliate your skin once or twice a week.

According to your skin type, exfoliate your skin once or twice a week, to purify and renew your skin. This will restore your skin’s glow and will keep it healthy.

Our recommendation : Nourishing Hand Cream

Take care of your skin in summer

With the beautiful season at our doorstep, we have gathered tips on the best ways to take care of your skin during summer.

From a season to another, beauty care that you bring to your skin differs and needs to be adapted to the weather. Summer is no exception. Here are the best three tips to take care of your skin during summer and make it healthy and glowing.

Protect your skin :The most important element to enjoy summer without worrying about sunburns is to protect your skin while being outdoors. Find a sunscreen that will fit with your skin type and that you will apply 15 to 30 minutes prior of going outside and that you will reapply every 90 minutes according to your activity’s length. If you are going outside for a short period of time, choose an SPF 15 sunscreen. For longer periods, make sure you pack an SPF 30.

Moisturizing ! :During summertime, it can be tempting to reduce the moisturizing of your skin, since it will not look as dry as it is in winter. Adapt your moisturizing cream or lotion, by choosing a moisturizer with a smoother texture. However, should you have a sunburn, use an after-sun care product that will soothe your skin quickly and will allow it to regenerate.

Our recommendations : Moisturizing Cream – Face Restorative Cream – Body Restorative Milk

Regular Exfoliating : Dead skin cells can build up on your skin, render it dull, rough and dry. By exfoliating your skin once or twice a week, you will unclog your skin pores and will make your skin glowing and healthy. Choose exfoliating products with natural grains rather than fruit-acid based exfoliators that can irritate your skin.

Our recommendations : Exfoliaing Cream – Exfoliating Shower Gel

Add to these recommendations a healthy diet and increased water consumption and taking care of your skin in the summer would never have been easier.

Even though our selection of beauty products is very diverse, we have chosen to test for you the Age Recovery Dynamizing Cream-Gel. Here are the results of our research.

This age recovery beauty care is specially made for these first wrinkles that you see appearing at the corner of your lips and eyes. It contains jojoba oil, a liposomal complex and mimosa tenuiflora extract. In the form of a gel-cream, it can be used as a daily treatment.

After only a few days, we noticed that the skin softens up and is better hydrated. In addition, the small wrinkles have a tendency to smoothe over. Applied directly after your tonic lotion in the evening, the skin absorbs the active ingredients and become fresh and relaxed in the morning, without being greasy and sticky. This cream leaves a pleasant, delicate scent on your skin and its light texture is easy to apply and melts directly in your skin.
