Dry Skin - Stressed Hands?

Few people realise is that the skin on the back of our hands is about as thin as the skin on our face. The reason the skin on our hands tends to dry out is because it has few sebaceous glands.

Farmers, gardeners, florists, hairdressers, doctors, nurses or craftsmen are especially prone to dry hands but now that we are all washing our hands more often, we too need to look after our hands' delicate skin.

Our skin regenerates itself especially at night, when it is not stressed by everyday activities such as washing. That’s why it makes sense to give our hands special care right before going to bed.

At night, natural plant oils with essential fatty acids are absorbed well into the skin to strengthen its barrier, undisturbed by external influences. During the day, hard-working hands are then better equipped to withstand external influences.

It takes just a few minutes to care for your hands. Before going to bed, apply a generous amount of cream to the hands, massage gently and if you like, put on light cotton gloves.
