On hot summer days, in addition to the face and body, the hands also frequently come into contact with sunlight, but sun protection is often overlooked! Combined with frequent hand washing, the skin on the hands can easily become dry and develop dry lines, sensitivity, and other unstable skin conditions. The hands are the most frequently used and most visibly aging part of the body, so to maintain youthful hands, there is no other rule but diligent care! Follow these 4 steps of summer hand care to restore tender hands!
//Summer Hand Care Step 1: Gentle Cleansing of Hands//
While it is important to have clean hands, frequent hand washing can strip away the natural oils and moisture from the skin, making the hands prone to dryness. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a gentle hand cleansing product that contains fine exfoliating particles and repairing ingredients to achieve both cleansing and skincare benefits. However, remember not to use water that is too hot, as it can further deplete the skin’s protective barrier.
This gentle skincare hand sanitizer combines the effects of skincare and cleansing. It is made with natural calendula and seaweed extracts, as well as exfoliating olive stone, which can cleanse the skin and leave it soft and clean. The hand sanitizer foams easily and does not dry out or tighten the skin, providing a refreshing sensation and achieving a balancing effect.

//Summer Hand Care Step 2: Exfoliate Hands//
Regularly exfoliating the facial and body skin, as well as taking care of the hands, is important. Removing dead skin cells regularly can prevent rough skin on the hands, calluses from excessive labor, and hinder the absorption of subsequent skincare products if the layer of aging dead skin cells becomes too thick. Gently massaging dry hands and the edges of the nails with a hand scrub can effectively remove dead skin cells and leave the skin hydrated and soft.

The formula contains fine salt grains and powerful sweet orange peel particles, which gently exfoliate dead skin and leave a thin layer of oil on the skin’s surface, bringing long-lost vitality and moisture to the hands. Massage your hands while enjoying the refreshing aroma, relieving stress and awakening the senses.
