Here’s why you need to take extra care of your hands

Our hands do so much for us – from writing, typing, cooking, exercising, cleaning, and just about everything else. Yet, considering how our hands are our everyday tools, it is surprising how so many of us pay little to no attention to taking extra care of them. 

Like so many of us, Nora has been washing and sanitizing her hands incessantly since the pandemic started. Unfortunately, over the months, her hands have developed flakes and cracks that are sometimes painful and often unpleasant to look at. Therefore, it is extremely crucial for Nora or anyone else to invest in a natural hand lotion that nourishes and moisturizes her hands deeply.

Exposure to sun, rain, pollution and harsh chemicals strips our hands of their natural oils and moisture, leaving them dry and prone to premature aging. Cracked and dry hands are also susceptible to infections and other skin conditions such as eczema. With the regular use of organic hand lotions, you can ensure that your hands stay soft, supple, and nourished.

When shopping for nourishing products for your hands, it is always a good idea to opt for natural hand lotions over synthetic ones. 

Unfortunately, a lot of the skincare and wellness products that we end up using contain harmful chemicals and ingredients that are harsh on your skin and the environment. For example, synthetic or artificial ingredients such as parabens, phthalates, and sulfates get absorbed into the skin and have been linked to various health problems, including cancer.  

With authentic ayurvedic skincare products, you can rest assured that you are exposing your skin to only the best of what’s out there. Moreover, the absence of harsh chemicals reduces the chance of any kind of allergic or adverse reaction, irritation, and inflammation. With regular use, you can delay your hands from aging prematurely, leaving them nourished and moisturized.

One of the best organic hand lotions in the beauty aisles today, NourishMantra’s  Vetiver and Lavender Upayas Hand Lotion. It is enriched with natural, nourishing ingredients such as Coconut Oil, Almond Oil, and Shea Butter. The formulation also contains Vetiver Root Oil and Lavender Oil, which not only heals your damaged skin but also soothes your senses with its light aroma. And if you are like our patron Natasha who is environmentally conscious and an animal lover, you’re in for a treat as all our wellness and beauty products are vegan, cruelty-free, and sans any nasties. 

If you’re someone who struggles to remember to moisturize their hands, keeping a bottle or tube of hand and body lotion on your bedside table can work as a reminder for you to moisturize before you hit the bed. For when you’re out and about, get a travel-friendly pack for moisturization on the go! While you are at it, we would like to share another one of our best beauty tips – don’t forget to pay attention to your nails. For stronger and shinier nails, invest in a good nail or cuticle cream.
