How To Pamper Your Hands
Hands protesting the cold weather? Pamper your way back into their good graces!
When cooler weather starts to make itself present, chances are you’ll start suffering from the dry skin that indicates the impending winter. Because hands are constantly exposed to the elements, they can really start to see the effects of fall weather before the rest of your body even notices. Here are some quick tips for pampering those mitts before they start to suffer!
- Most people neglect their hands when they’re going through their smoothing routine, but with all of the wear-and-tear your hands endure, they deserve some exfoliating! The delicate skin on hands dries out quite quickly, so be sure to use a heavily moisturizing scrub like our Hemp Hand Scrub, and rinse with cool, rather than warm water.
- Your hands see more year-round sun than most other parts of your body, except perhaps your face, so they absolutely need some SPF to keep them from aging prematurely. Wise Woman Defensive Hand & Nail Cream both soothes and protects, because it’s no good for your face to look young if your hands are looking older than your years!
- Because they are one of the first parts of your body presented when meeting people (the good old American handshake!), your hands really do get noticed. You don’t have to go full blow manicure if it isn’t your style, but biting your hangnails and tearing at your cuticles is a serious “don’t.” Because cuticles get drier in the winter, moisturize them with Almond Oil Nail & Cuticle Treatment.
