What Can I Do About Dry Winter Hands?
If you’re dealing with ultra-dry, dull hands and cuticles this winter, you’re not alone. It’s very common to struggle with dry skin woes during the wintertime due to lack of humidity and in-door heating (both of which zap moisture from the air), but the good news is it’s completely fixable with the right skin care routine. Luckily, Londontown has everything you need to transform your hands from dry and flaky, to soft, supple, and hydrated. Ahead, discover our best tips for combatting and treating dry hands this season and beyond.
Tip #1. Start With a Fresh Slate
First and foremost, begin by gently exfoliating your hands to remove dead skin buildup. This prep step will allow the products you use afterward to properly penetrate the skin. For this, you can’t go wrong with our Rose Gold Hand Peel, which is a luxe peel-off mask that gently sloughs off dead skin while preparing your skin for optimal moisture absorption. It’s also packed with powerful plant actives and antioxidants to both reverse and protect against damage caused by daily environmental aggressors. After just one use, hands are left softer, smoother and brighter, with fine lines and wrinkles visibly diminished.
Tip #2. Level Up the Hydration
Immediately after exfoliating, use a powerful hydrator such as our Moisture Renew Hand Serum to deeply nourish the skin and lock in moisture. The rich, non-greasy formula contains a skin-conditioning blend of shea butter, glycerin, and our proprietary Florium Complex to help instantly relieve dryness while protecting against water loss. Think of it as a protective shield, specifically for your delicate hand skin.
Tip #3. Care for Your Cuticles
To ensure your cuticles get the T.L.C. they deserve, too, coat them with a liberal layer of our Nourishing Cuticle Oil. This immediately softens and smooths cuticles while simultaneously protecting them from drying out. Just a few drops will do the trick, leaving your cuticles looking and feeling like new again.
Tip #4. Nourish and Protect Overnight
While this step is optional, it’s an amazing way to ensure your hands stay soft and supple despite the harsh elements. Before bed, apply a generous amount of our fan-favorite Whipped Cloud Hand Cream and then seal it in with our 100% cotton Gloves. This works by trapping in moisture so it can’t escape and lead to further dryness. They can easily be washed in the machine and used again and again.
