Take Extra Care of Sensitive Skin

Certain parts of the body - particularly the hands and the lips - are more sensitive to the cold than others. It's essential to start taking extra care of these areas straight away at the onset of winter.

Lips are fragile
The lips are extremely delicate with a very fine corneal layer and vein content. The skin of the lips is ultra-thin and does not contain any sebum, which means that they have no natural protection from cold and dryness. To avoid chapped lips it is essential to apply a hydrating balm at regular intervals. The best ones are those containing natural integrediants; honey, grapefruit, plant extracts etc.

Your hand need you
Your hands take a lot of wear and are in frequent contact with harmful substances such as detergents and hard water. Without protection they will suffer horribly in the cold. In the winter, more than any other time, you should use a hand cream, preferably several times a day. The ones with silicone, honey or lanolin protect the skin whilst the ones with shea tree butter or glycerine nourish the skin. After you wash your hands always be sure to dry them thoroughly before applying the cream.
