Our hands are one of the first parts of our bodies to age. Not only are they constantly exposed to the harmful effects of the environment, we also put them to good use throughout the day, especially as a mum. Washing dishes, hand washing clothes, cooking, cleaning and gardening can all take its toll on our hands. Getting into the routine of applying hand cream on a daily basis can significantly help in protecting against cracked, dry and sensitive skin on your hands.
To prevent dry, flaky and irritable skin and to keep your hands soft, rub a thick, rich hand cream into your hands daily. We recommend Dove Pro Age Nourishment Hand Cream; however a tub of E45 is great for treating eczema, dermatitis and other dry skin conditions. For an extra treat, cover your hands with cotton gloves after applying. This locks in moisture and will leave your hands feeling as smooth as a baby’s bottom.
