Our hands are the hardest-working part of our body. Every day, they are exposed to extreme temperatures, harsh cleaning products, the sun and the wind. It’s no wonder that it is on our hands that the first signs of ageing, roughness and even painful cracks appear.
Let’s put the actual moisturising aside for a moment. A proper skincare routine starts with understanding why the skin on your hands is suffering.
Why does the skin on your hands dry out so quickly?
The skin on the back of the hand is thinner and more delicate than on other parts of the body. Furthermore, there are fewer sebaceous glands in this area, which directly results in lower production of natural sebum, which acts as the ‘cement’ of the protective (hydrolipid) barrier.
When the skin barrier is compromised by external factors, we experience the typical symptoms of dry hands:
- Roughness and loss of natural softness.
- Skin peeling.
- A feeling of tightness and tightness.
- In extreme cases – cracks and redness.
What’s more, as we age, the skin loses its ability to retain moisture, which exacerbates the problem of roughness and sagging.
The cornerstones of effective treatment: how to ‘repair’ your hands?
Effective hand care must work in two ways: it must provide immediate soothing and moisturising, and help to rebuild the protective barrier over the long term.
- Restoring the skin’s protective barrier: This is key to retaining moisture in the epidermis. Ceramides are essential here – these lipids replenish deficiencies in the skin’s structure, protecting it from external factors and preventing moisture loss. Ideally, they should be combined in the formulation with other valuable ingredients such as exosomes, omega acids or dermolipids.
- Deep hydration: Ingredients that bind water in the epidermis, such as hyaluronic acid, D-panthenol, hyaluronic acid boosters and even the common glycerine, restore softness and suppleness to the hands.
- Regeneration and rejuvenation: Hands showing signs of ageing (sagging, loss of firmness) need active ‘building blocks’ – peptides and collagen – which support the production of the skin’s structural proteins. Without them, the skin will very quickly become thin and saggy.
Pure me Perfect Hands: a treatment tailored to your needs
The Pure me brand has developed three treatments that effectively target various hand-related issues using Triple Power Technology (barrier repair, cellular stimulation and enhanced ingredient absorption).
Choose your cream based on your skin’s current needs:
1. Treatment for damaged and irritated hands: regeneration and protection
If your hands are dry, rough, and damaged and need an express repair treatment, focus on rebuilding the skin barrier.
- Purpose: To restore the skin barrier and protect against dryness.
- Active ingredients (Repair Shield Technology): ceramides, exosomes (regeneration), and D-panthenol and allantoin (hydration, soothing, softness and elasticity).
- Result: Immediate improvement in hydration and smoothness, long-lasting comfort and effective regeneration.
2. Treatment for dry hands: smoothing and moisturising
Ideal for hands that are rough and in need of relief, but do not yet show signs of damage to the skin, such as micro-cracks.
- Purpose: Intensive hydration, smoothing and soothing.
- Active ingredients (Hydra Boost Therapy): hyaluronic acid, niacinamide (improves skin tone, soothes) and exosomes (repairs). Allantoin (hydrates and soothes)
- Result: instant smoothness and a velvety feel, with reduced roughness and dryness after just one application.
3. Anti-ageing treatment: nourishment and firming
For mature, dry and thin skin showing signs of loss of firmness and wrinkles.
- Aim: To improve firmness, smooth the skin and reduce the signs of ageing.
- Active ingredients (Anti-Aging Hand Therapy): biomimetic peptides (reduce wrinkles, firm the skin), active collagen (improves elasticity) and exosomes (repair)
- Result: Improved firmness and elasticity, reduced appearance of wrinkles and a more youthful-looking appearance of the hands.
Important daily tips for greater comfort
For the treatment to be effective, adopt these simple habits:
- water – wash your hands with lukewarm water and use gentle, moisturising cleansers to avoid damaging the skin barrier.
- Frequency: apply the cream after every time you come into contact with water, and especially before going out in the cold and after returning home.
- Protection: wear gloves when it’s cold. Hand cream alone is definitely not enough to protect against harsh environmental factors.
Choose your Pure me Perfect Hands cream and make your hands your calling card – smooth, supple and comfortable!
