How to take care of my Hands

Taking care of your hands is indeed crucial, as they are constantly exposed to various elements and activities throughout the day. Beyond’s Hand Wash, Hand Lotion, Hand Sanitizer, and Hand Moisturizer are valuable components of your hand care routine. Here's how to properly care for your hands:

1. Hand Washing:

• Use a Gentle Hand Wash: Choose a mild and moisturizing hand wash, like Beyond Organic Hand Wash. Avoid harsh soaps that can strip your skin of its natural oils.
• Proper Technique: Wash your hands with lukewarm water, lathering the soap for at least 20 seconds, making sure to clean between your fingers and under your nails. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry with a clean towel.
• Frequency: Wash your hands regularly, especially before meals, after using the restroom, and when they are visibly dirty.

2. Hand Sanitizer:

• Use When Necessary: Hand sanitizers with at least 60% alcohol are effective at killing germs. Use them when soap and water are not readily available, but do not overuse as it can dry out your skin.

4. Moisturizing:

• Hand Lotion: After washing your hands, apply a hydrating hand lotion like the Beyond Hand & Body Lotion. Look for products that contain ingredients like shea butter, vitamin E and glycerin as these help lock in moisture.
• Regular Application: Reapply hand lotion throughout the day, especially after washing your hands, to keep them well-hydrated. Carry a travel-sized lotion in your bag for on-the-go hydration.

5. Protection:

• Gloves: Wear gloves when doing household chores, gardening, or handling harsh chemicals to protect your hands from damage and irritation.

6. Nail Care:

• Trim and File Nails: Keep your nails clean, trimmed, and filed to prevent dirt and bacteria from accumulating beneath them.
• Cuticle Care: Gently push back your cuticles rather than cutting them to avoid infection.

7. Sun Protection:

• Sunscreen: Apply sunscreen to the back of your hands if they will be exposed to sunlight for extended periods.

8. Hydration and Nutrition:

• Stay well-hydrated by drinking enough water.
• Maintain a balanced diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support healthy skin.

9. Rest:

• Give your hands a break if you engage in repetitive tasks that strain them, like typing or crafting.

10. Professional Care:

• If you have specific hand concerns, such as dry, cracked skin or skin conditions like eczema, consult a dermatologist for professional advice and treat with Replenishing Hand Cream.

Remember that consistent care and protection are essential for maintaining the health and appearance of your hands. Incorporating Beyond Organic Skincare’s products, along with these tips, can help you keep your hands soft, smooth, and healthy despite the daily wear and tear they endure.
