Hand Care

Put your hands on show: exclusive hand care products from Heinemann

Cared-for hands are not only nice to look at, they also contribute towards a feeling of well-being. After all, your hands are used almost constantly throughout the day. Manual work, temperature fluctuations and frequent washing with soap stress the skin – without regular care, they dry out, become flaky and begin to itch. Treat your hands to the care they deserve: with first-class hand care products by leading brands available in the Heinemann Shop. Indulge your skin and order hand creams, hand lotions and hand soaps by L'Occitane en Provence, Clarins, Lancôme, Moroccanoil and others from Heinemann.

In Heinemann Shop: What is the best care for the hands?

The skin on your hands is as individual as the skin on your face. Added to which, your hands are subjected to varying degrees of stress depending on your lifestyle and particular routines. It is therefore all the more important to find the right hand care in the high-quality range stocked by the Heinemann Shop.

In contrast to face care, high-quality fats and oils are important in hand care, as these hold the skin’s moisture and keep it smooth. Plant oils such as olive oil, almond oil and shea butter are frequently used in hand creams and hand care lotions. In principle, you should use a fast absorbing hand cream during the day, for example the Augustinus Bader Skin Care Hand Cream, or the Eight Hour Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment Handcreme by Elizabeth Arden. If you spend a lot of time outdoors, you should consider a hand cream with a sun protection factor to prevent pigment spots forming, such as the Biotherm Biomains Hand and Nail Treatment.

At night, we recommend a richer hand cream – apply a thick layer and wear thin fabric gloves on top so that the cream works overnight like an intensive treatment for your hands.

How do you keep your hands soft and nourished?  

Naturally, the right care routine plays a part – but a few practical everyday tips can help you to keep your hands soft and moisturised:

• Wear cleaning gloves: washing-up liquid and cleaning agents dry out the skin and irritate it – so it’s always best to wear rubber gloves when cleaning the house.
• Alternate the temperature when washing your hands: when washing your hands, put them alternately under hot and cold water – the change in temperature will stimulate the skin’s circulation.
• Mild hand soap: use a special soap for washing your hands, such as one by L:A BRUKET or Rituals .
• Hand cream appropriate for the time of year: cold weather and the dry air produced by heating dries hands out more quickly in the winter. You should therefore use a richer hand cream in the colder seasons, such as the L'Occitane en Provence Shea Butter Youth Hand Cream.

A massage now and then stimulates the circulation in your hands and increases a sense of well-being. Alternatively, you can gently exfoliate your hands with a hand scrub made by Rituals.
