Homemade Hand Cream Recipes
The skin of your hands is very thin, and also very exposed to the factors that surround us. Pollution, the sun, temperature variations, hard water or disinfectant considerably weaken your hands. Like the skin on your face, the skin on your hands can deteriorate faster than the rest of your body. So here are a few homemade hand cream recipes for you to pamper your hands.
It is on the hands that we can distinguish the first signs of aging. For this, it is important to moisturize and protect your hands on a daily basis to avoid premature aging and have beautiful hands.
Protect your hands during daily activities, such as washing dishes for the household, as household products can dry out your hands. In winter, wear gloves to protect your hands from the cold.
Also take some time each week to give your hands a little massage session, they will be even more beautiful! A homemade sugar and honey scrub is a great idea! Mix the brown sugar in a little honey and gently and gently rub your hands. If you’re a little lazy, our Honey and Sugar Exfoliating Care formulated with Honey and crystals is a real wonder and an excellent alternative! Your hands regain their softness, like a baby’s skin!
Oils to moisturize the hands naturally
– Coconut Oil
rCoconut oil is rich and deeply moisturizes your hands as it tends to be absorbed quickly. Composed of more than 85% saturated fatty acids, it promotes the regeneration of the epidermis. The linoleic acid present in coconut oil is known to limit water loss. It will therefore leave your skin hydrated for a long time! Moreover, it is also suitable for the feet.
– Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is well known for its softening and moisturizing properties, but not only! It forms a protective layer on the skin against external irritants.
