DRY HANDS - GESTURES TO END IT!
Do you also have winter on your fingers? Dry, abused, often neglected, the hands are often the first victims of the winter cold. Mademoiselle Agathe gives you here the main gestures to pamper them. On your hands, get set, go!
Step number 1: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!
Grrrr…winter and its low temperatures draw on your resources and often dry out the fine and sensitive skin of your hands. Is this a surprise for you? Hydration is THE key gesture to avoid dry and damaged hands. Get into good habits! Every evening, generously and delicately moisturize your hands until the hydrolipidic film which covers the superficial layer of the skin of the hands is completely absorbed. The Graal ? apply a rich cream. And, with what Mademoiselle Agathe offers you, you will be able to rub your hands! Its beauty cream for hands with organic snail slime has several virtues in its bag: it softens, nourishes and limits the appearance of signs of ageing. Composed of 63% snail slime extract harvested by hand, it restores its protective film to your skin thanks to the properties of the famous mucus.
If you want to go further in the comfort of the hands: put on cotton gloves. By keeping your hands warm, they will allow you to increase hydration tenfold. You will wake up with soft and silky hands!
Step number 2: switch to massage
Your hands are also entitled to it after all! While you apply your moisturizer, massage your hands. Start by rubbing your palms together, then the backs of your hands. Finally, pull on the fingertips and go around the edge of each nail, in this way you will take the opportunity to eliminate dead skin at the level of the cuticle. You'll want to make it a routine...
Step number 3: set to lukewarm
Too hot ? the skin wrinkles and consequently is damaged. Too cold ? the pores tighten too much and end up drying out… As with everything, it's about finding the balance!
For the hands, use lukewarm water and a mild, greasy and moisturizing soap. Mademoiselle Agathe took care of you again by creating the sweet almond oil soap. Composed of 99.9% ingredients of natural origin, with sweet almond oil, shea butter and olive oil, it is made for all hands, big and small. With its natural surgras following its cold saponification, it is respectful of fragile skin, including future mothers and babies. Oh that snail slime!
Step number 4: put on your best pair!
Leather, wool, mitten, whatever the shape or material of the gloves, as long as they protect your hands from the cold. They will serve as a shield to escape it, between the risk of drying out and cracking. A fist in the face of winter!
This also applies indoors, when you do the housework: consider latex gloves instead. It would be a shame to ruin your new cashmere gloves :-), wouldn't it?
Gesture number 5: a little eraser
Once a week: use a scrub to remove dead cells and stimulate cell renewal. It will facilitate the penetration of the assets of the restorative cream. So, block the slot! Want to keep your hands forever young? Complete your hand routine with Mlle Agathe's spot lightening cream. Thanks to the combination of snail slime extract and a hydro-glycolic complex of active plants, it will reduce their surface area and their pigmentation. The snail on the attack of age!
Gesture number 6: vote natural
Nature conceals a thousand and one virtues. And that goes for the hands too! Indeed, natural active ingredients such as shea butter, apricot oil, aloe vera or even glycerin concentrate often very nourishing and restorative properties. Opt particularly for oils: olive, almond or vegetable – they moisturize deeply and durably.
That's the final word: stay hydrated for healthy hands!
