Keep hands silky smooth and hydrated with Azul Hand Mask
By Carla Snuggs
We are all doing our best during these times to be be mindful of washing our hands regularly. Hand washing and over-sanitizing them can irritate the delicate skin on our hands because they strip away the natural oils that protect your skin. This can lead to dry, itchy and irritated skin.
Recently, I received some amazing tips to keep your hands looking youthful, hydrated and smooth. Rebecca Adams, CEO and Co-founder of My Alchemy Skin Care, shared the following hand care tips:
Tip #1 - Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! Drink your water for inside and don't forget your skin needs drinks too! Keep hands moisturized! Sun, wind, winter, season changes, all cause havoc on skin. Dehydration leads to signs of premature aging so start early to avoid hands that look older than your birthday says you are. Alcohol content in sanitizers is extremely drying. Look for a sanitizer with botanicals and essential oils to condition skin and a good lotion that will not only moisturize and soften but help to nourish skin.
Tip #2 - Choose hand products wisely. Do your homework. It will help you avoid questionable ingredients that can cause harm to both skin and your body. The products you use on your hands, gets absorbed inside and carried throughout your body via your blood. There are a lot of bad ingredients out there so be careful. Best tip I can share is to choose clean beauty products. Clean Beauty is defined by our brand as choosing only plant-based ingredients that are ethically-sourced, grown wild and organically, formulated withOUT pesticides, phthalates, parabens, synthetic fragrances or a plethora of other potentially harmful ingredients. You won't make a bad choice going clean.
As you may know I am a brand ambassador for Azul Skin Health and I was so excited when they sent me their new hand mask. Azul products have proven active ingredients at the precise concentrations to maximize benefit in skin transformation. All of their products are infused with natural botanicals and the formulations are innovative and truly deliver. Also, all their products their products are paraben-free.
We focus so much on the skin on our face and oftentimes neglect our hands. Azul Hand Mask is a luxurious, deep moisturizing hand mask specifically for itchy, dry, irritated hands.
This hand mask contains three of the most moisturizing ingredients around. They are Pentavitin, Mallow Extract and Eidelweiss. Pentavitin moisturizes by penetrating deep into dermal layers and continues to hydrate the skin for up to 72 hours! Mallow Extract conditions, softens and soothes the skin, so it’s great for irritated or sensitive skin. Edelweiss Extract is an extremely powerful antioxidant that is even more potent than Vitamin C. It helps protect, renew and moisturize the skin.
This hand mask feels makes your hands feel like after you’ve just had a manicure with a paraffin wax. I like to apply it regularly daily and sometimes I will put on moisturizing gloves for a bit to trap in the moisture. I also use the mask before bed as an overnight treatment.
My hands are always dry and they have become even more dry and irritated with regular use of hand sanitizer as we all try to protect ourselves and others through this pandemic. However it’s like night and day since I’ve added Azul Hand Mask into my hand care routine. My hands feel silky, soft and protected without a greasy feel.
