Prendre soin de ses mains

The skin of the hands is thinner than that of the face. It is also damaged more quickly and suffers the full force of all external aggressions. Protecting your handswith gloves when using abrasive products is the minimum you can do to keep your skin nice (and to also avoid the passage of toxicants through the skin barrier). In addition, you should also think about moisturizing the upper layers of the epidermis with natural creams, oils or baumes that will help nourish your skin and maintain your hands.
