As a mother my hands are constantly exposed to the elements, harsh chemicals, and the drying effects of frequent washing. This can leave them feeling rough, dry and cracked – especially in the winter. That’s why carrying hand cream with you throughout the day is an absolute must, so let’s look at why…
Why hand cream should be a staple in your bag:
- Prevents Dryness and Cracked Skin: Regularly applying hand cream helps to lock in moisture, preventing your hands from becoming dry and cracked.
- Protects Against Irritants: A good hand cream can create a barrier between your skin and harsh chemicals, detergents and other irritants.
- Softens and Smooths: Hand cream helps to soften and smooth rough, calloused skin, leaving your hands feeling soft and supple throughout the year.
- Promotes Nail Health: Healthy hands also mean healthy nails. Hand cream can help to strengthen nails and prevent them from becoming brittle.
- Instant Gratification: A quick application of hand cream can provide instant relief from dry, uncomfortable skin.
Tips For Choosing The Right Hand Cream:
- Look for hydrating ingredients: Ingredients like shea butter, aloe vera, and glycerin are excellent moisturisers.
- Consider your skin type: If you have sensitive skin, be sure to opt for fragrance-free options.
- Choose a convenient size: A small, travel-sized tube is perfect for carrying in your bag , pocket or desk drawer.
By making hand cream a part of your daily routine, you can keep your hands healthy, hydrated and looking their best, always.
Nursem: Skincare Products Developed with Nurses in Mind
Nursem is a small business that lovingly develops therapeutic skincare products. They are committed to providing high-quality, effective results that are gentle enough for all skin types and kindly donate a portion of their profits to provide nurses and midwives with free skincare. Nurses are on their feet all day long, and they often have to wash their hands multiple times per hour. At one point or another, nurses have played a key part in our health and wellbeing and I am truly thankful for their service. Nursem’s aim is to be able to provide all nurses with free hand cream which absolutely warms my heart. I wish that more businesses would have such selfless goals.
Their Caring Hand Cream is fast absorbing and uses naturally derived ingredients to soothe and protect dry and sore hands. Cruelty free and dermatologically tested, it’s also beautifully safe for eczema, psoriasis and sensitive skin alike. It works to instantly soothe inflammation and soreness with medical grade Manuka Honey and White Willow extract. It conditions the skin using a rich blend of Allantoin and Pro Vitamin B5 to keep hands feeling constantly nourished.
Protecting with plant oils and Glycerin, it gently restores the protective barrier that retains the skin’s moisture and hydration and leaves my hands feeling silky smooth and healthy.
Their Caring Skin Fix is an intensive, multi-use repair cream for dry, sore and cracked skin. Suitable for dry, sore and irritable skin, it uses naturally derived ingredients to provide immediate and targeted relief to all areas of persistently dry and sore skin – from cracked knuckles to dry elbows and knees. I find this particularly helpful for my heels, elbows and knees which always feel so dehydrated and chaffed after a workout at the gym and wearing trainers.
Vegan friendly, cruelty free and Dermatologically tested, this cream can be used on the hands, face and body. It beautifully calms redness and irritation with pharmaceutical grade Colloidal Oatmeal whilst regenerating the skin using a blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Pro Vitamin B5 and Allantoin to fuel the skin’s natural ability to repair itself. It also provides protection by creating a natural barrier using Avocado Oil, Shea Butter and Glycerin, which in turn minimises moisture loss from the skin.
Nursem have a selection of hand, body, wash and moisturisers which can be shopped by category as well as skin concern for convenience. Whether you’re looking to keep your skin feeling its very best, or to send a gift set to a loved one to show them how much you appreciate their hard work and dedication, in helping relieving your skin concerns with high quality skincare, you’re also helping this small business to give back to nurses.
