What are Dr. Pauline Hili’s top tips to care for dry and chapped hands?
The frequent use of hand soaps and sanitisers can leave the hands feeling dry and prone to cracks.
Key Ingredients for Rapid Repair
When it comes to solving chronic skin dryness and cracked hands, beta glucan from purified yeast extract combined with hyaluronic acid is a superb combination for the rapid repair and the key ingredients in our Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream.
Not only does this combination stimulate the production of new collagen but it also enhances the antimicrobial activity of keratinocytes - the main cells of the epidermis which produce keratin - reinforcing the natural skin defence system.
DAYTIME
For keeping hands in tip-top shape, we recommend the use of a cream-based product during the day, such as Kale Anti-Ageing Hand Cream.
NIGHT-TIME
At night, a lipid-rich oil-based product supplemented with vitamin C is best, such as Argan Skin Rescue or Antioxidant Multi-Tasking Super Balm.
The use of the oil-based Vitamin C enriched at night can help prevent further water loss and long-term dryness and stimulate the production of healthy collagen.
This is the winning duo for keeping hands in top condition.
