For beautiful hands right down to your nails...

The skin on your hands is thinner and more exposed to cold, water, friction, than the rest of your body. It is therefore important to take care of it by regularly applying a good moisturizing and nourishing hand cream.

Here are some tips for an effective application that also becomes a little pleasure.

Dosage : you are often told to put a small amount of cream. But the size of the small amount should depend on the level of dryness of your hands . If they are regularly moisturized, a small amount will be enough to maintain without a greasy effect. If they are very dry, do not skimp because your skin will need more nourishing ingredients to regain real softness.

Some application tips :

We recommend that you spread the small amount of cream on the inside of your palms and on the top of your hands , so that you can be sure of a good spread over the entire surface of your hands.

Don't forget to focus on your fingers, especially your nails and cuticles . Cuticles are a thin layer of skin that sits on the base of your nail. They are very useful because they form a protective barrier against bacteria. Particularly prone to drying out, they can turn white and harden . The cuticles then become not only unsightly but also ineffective in protecting against germs, which can lead to infections such as whitlow. Maintaining them regularly with a moisturizing hand cream may be enough as long as you remember to massage your hands all the way to your fingertips. If they are already dry, don't hesitate to add a new dab of cream to this part to complete your hand care . If the situation seems hopeless, take some olive oil and massage your cuticles for a few minutes a day to regenerate them.

Nails also need to be moisturized , this prevents them from becoming white, ridged, or brittle, so spread your hand cream right down to the tips of your nails.

Finally, to have beautiful hands, take advantage of the application of your moisturizing hand cream to give yourself a massage that is both relaxing and stimulating for circulation . Massage your palms with circular movements, pass your thumb over the top of your hands between the bones to relax the tendons, massage your fingers one by one, gently insisting on the joints.
