How to Pamper Dry, Excessively Washed Hands

With the threat of the pandemic COVID 19 (Coronavirus) looming large around us, basic hygiene and cleanliness have assumed prime significance.

It has become of utmost importance for each one of us to maintain personal hygiene, and undertake proper sanitization of common surfaces like doorknobs and handles, table and countertops, washbasin taps, etc. Since the virus can survive for up to twelve hours on any surface, we must be cautious about touching our faces after using public utilities. WHO

recommends frequent washing of hands for twenty seconds as a must-do to ward off the possibility of catching the dangerous Coronavirus.

We have started washing our hands with increased zeal, and are paying more attention to personal hygiene to ensure protection from the virus. It is imperative that we clean our face, hands and hair thoroughly after we come home from any public space.

Maintain Hygiene through Washing A body wash with natural ingredients will help you clean your skin properly without drying it. Rely on a soothing, refreshing mild cleanser with Cactus flower and Tibetan Ginseng that will protect your skin from environmental aggressors and detoxify it. Use a mild ​face cleanser​ with calendula or cucumber extracts, to gently remove traces of dirt and grime without stripping the skin of natural moisture.

Make sure you regularly clean your hair too with a mild, ​natural hair cleanser​. Using naturally derived ingredients like olive fruit oil, avocado oil and lemon extracts in hair cleansers will ensure that you don’t have a dry scalp as a result of too much cleansing.

Remember to use a ​body lotion​ after bath to protect your skin from dryness. A lotion with natural flower extracts like rose and patchouli does

wonders for skin nourishment, and keeps your hands and body well moisturized.

So, make sure you not only keep your hands, face and body clean, but also well hydrated and nourished.

Why is a Hand Cream Essential?

The skin of the hands tends to lose moisture as a result of excessive washing. It therefore, becomes essential to moisturize and soften your hands.

A ​hand cream​ with naturally nourishing ingredients like fruit extracts and essential oils can do a world of good for dry hands. Invest in a ​hand cream​ ​with avocado oil that is rich in fatty acids and in Vitamin A, D, and E. Used in combination with sesame oil, it is extremely effective as it gets absorbed easily and forms a glove-like barrier against moisture loss.

Apply this ​hand cream​ to your hands twice daily and reapply whenever necessary. You will not have to deal with ​dry skin​ anymore.

We can fight the threat of COVID 19 together by taking the necessary precautions and maintaining body hygiene. Let us all pledge to keep our

hands clean and our surroundings sanitized. Let us constructively use the time we are spending home in isolation, to look after ourselves better, and extend some tender loving care to our skin and hair. This is a golden opportunity to treat ourselves with some lavish skin care and pampering, that we can’t do otherwise for lack of time. A break from our hectic schedules gives us this chance to really indulge in some self care and self love.
