DEEPER HYDRATION: THE HAND SCRUB!
Today a customer came into the shop, desperate because winter has arrived so suddenly. She quickly took off her gloves, showing me her hands, which were dry and cracked from the constant switching between cold wind and indoor heating.
·“I've run out of hand cream again, just look at how dry they are!”
Dry hands are very common at this time of year, and if you find yourself in the same situation every winter—constantly nourishing your skin but failing to solve the problem—I have a tip that can help you.
Before applying cream to our hands, we must first remove the dead skin. A hand scrub, for example, quickly gets rid of the old skin! This way, we also don't waste any cream because it will be applied directly to the new skin, which is ready to absorb the active ingredients.
Follow my hand scrub routine to get silky smooth skin. Remember: for lasting effectiveness, always choose natural or organic products.
- Fill a large bowl with half a liter of lukewarm water and, using a grater, grate the Solid Marseille Soap about fifteen times. I usually use the side of the grater that makes larger flakes.
- Take the Exfoliating Pad with olive stones and gently rub both the back and palm of your hands in a circular motion. I make sure that every part of my hand comes into contact with the pad three times. Please note: never be aggressive when using exfoliating sponges!
- To avoid redness, pat your hands dry with a cotton towel.
- Take the natural Nourishing Hand and Nail Cream and moisturize your skin by massaging it until it is completely absorbed.
Let me know in the comments if you've tried my routine and tell me if you like it!
Until the next organic discovery,
Greta
