Why It’s So Important to Keep Hands Hydrated
The skin on our hands is among the thinnest on our bodies—along with the skin around the eyes and on the neck—so it is often one the first areas where we notice the signs of aging. And this year, a survey found that 90 percent of people are washing their hands more frequently and more thoroughly. But all that washing and sanitizing can draw moisture out of your skin and leave you hands feeling cracked and even raw. Just like the skin on your face or your body, it needs a quality cleanser and moisturizer to stay hydrated, balanced, and soft.
When it comes to sanitizing, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using a purifying formula with at least 60 percent alcohol. But since alcohol can dry your hands out, exacerbating conditions like eczema and psoriasis, it’s important to look for an option with added hydrating ingredients. Following up it with a hand cream will replenish moisture levels and lock in hydration. Look for a cream rather than a lotion since these typically contain higher levels of moisturizing ingredients like glycerin, shea butter, and coconut oil and are formulated with less water. Be on the lookout for non-greasy options that make it easy to apply and go. And opt for formulas without added fragrance that can irritate sensitive skin.
Our Soft, Nourished Hands Solutions:
*EVER LAVISH Restorative Hand & Nail Cream and Rinse-Free Handwash * This easy, on-the-go formula not only keeps your hands clean, it helps them feel silky and soothed thanks to its non-drying formula. The 70 percent alcohol is paired with the same Superfruit Complex found in our other LAVISH products. It’s a blend of anti-oxidants from apple, blackberry, cranberry, pomegranate, sweet cherry and kiwi seed oils that not only protect the skin from environmental aggressors like sun and pollution that can speed up aging, they also help brighten skin to keep it glowing and radiant.
And while this year has caused us all a lot of stress for so many reasons, the scent is designed to uplift your senses with our signature LAVISH fragrance. Citrus notes naturally boost your mood while lavender and vanilla help ease your mind. Use it any time during your hectic day… you’ll feel instantly calmer—and cleaner.
EVER LAVISH Restorative Hand & Nail Cream
Available on its own or bundled with the Rinse-Free Hand Wash, this luxe cream is worthy of a spot in your purse, desk, and bedside table. Along with the brightening and anti-aging Superfruit Complex, the cream is formulated with biomimetic technology that helps to replenish your skin’s naturally occurring moisture barrier. It also contains a special complex made of natural sugars that helps to lock in moisture for up to 48 hours.
Quick Tip...After using the rinse-free handwash, let it dry for about 30 seconds before applying the cream, making sure to massage it into your cuticles to keep them soft and healthy. The natural oils give your hands an immediate hydration boost without the sticky feeling you may have experienced with other hand creams—meaning no more greasy keyboards and phone screens. And the mood-boosting fragrance is made entirely with essential oils, so it’s kind to sensitive skin.
