Moisturize: the first step for manicured hands
Like the face, the hands also need to be hydrated several times a day.
After using cleansing products such as dish soap, don't forget to moisturize your hands: massage them with a protective cream. Let the cream absorb deeply, without removing the excess. To make your hands even smoother, try applying olive oil or sweet almond oil, you will feel soft and silky. If you want to avoid premature skin aging, try using an arnica healing cream instead.
For deeply cared for hands, on the other hand, be sure to coat them, at least once a week, with a hand mask, such as the Du Monde à la Provence one that protects, hydrates and strengthens the hands.
