Why take care of your hands?


The skin on our hands is finer and more fragile than the rest of our body. It is exposed daily to environmental aggressors (UV rays, pollution, household products, regular washing...) and is under constant stress. Over time, they can become damaged or dry, with the signs of aging gradually taking hold and betraying our age. 

What are the right gestures to adopt?


Here are a few good habits to adopt for beautiful hands on a daily basis:

  • The first thing to remember is to moisturize your hands regularly, especially in winter when the cold weather becomes more prevalent and upsets the skin's equilibrium. Ideal: a moisturizing hand cream for normal skin, or a nourishing one for drier, more sensitive skin. For mature skin, opt for a cream that combines nutrition, anti-aging and anti-dark spot action.
  • Application tip: several times a day, apply a small dab of hand cream. cream on the back of the hand, then spread with the back of the second hand. Finish with the inside of the hands, between the fingers, then on the nails, insisting on the cuticles. Your hands are now moisturized, nourished and protected from external aggressions (wind, cold...).
  • Evening tip: apply a thicker layer of cream before bedtime to intensify its action during the night, leaving your hands feeling soft in the morning. For a "bandage" effect, massage the cream into your hands, concentrating on the driest, most damaged areas. CICA cream.
  • At the same time, don't hesitate to exfoliate from time to time. Exfoliation removes dead cells from the skin's surface, leaving your hands looking more beautiful every day.
  • Don't forget to apply a moisturizing cream afterwards to maintain the hydrolipidic film and keep your hands soft.
  • Winter tip: remember to wear gloves when it gets colder, to protect your hands from the skin dryness caused by lower temperatures.
  • Don't hesitate to apply cream before putting on your gloves, to keep your hands soft at all times.
  • At the same time, remember to protect your hands from the aggressions caused by everyday tasks, by wearing gloves when doing the dishes in particular, to avoid drying out and feelings of discomfort as the days go by.
  • Finally, as hands are constantly exposed to the outside environment, don't hesitate to choose a cream containing SPF sun protection to protect them from UV rays and prevent the development of pigmentation spots.
