Lots of people are reporting sore, dry, chapped hands, caused by regular use of alcohol based hand sanitiser products during the Coronavirus pandemic.
Alcohol is drying on skin. It is often used as a base in hand gels as it has a quick drying effect but strips skin's natural oils.
Not all types of alcohol are bad. There are other types called fatty alcohols, which are non irritating and can be beneficial for skin, these I use as preservatives in my products.
❗Drying types of alcohol in sanitiser products will often be listed as SD alcohol, denatured alcohol or less commonly as isopropyl alcohol.
These alcohols dry skin out, erode the top layer of the skin (which causes cracking and soreness) and place a strain on how skin replenishes, renews and rejuvenates itself.
Fabulous Frankincense Renewal cream actually works for hands as well as face.
It's antioxidant-rich frankincense, myrrh, blueberry, plum and passionfruit oils help to nourish and repair dried out skin.
The natural fatty acid content of passionfruit and high vitamin C content helps to even out skin texture and tone by regulating sebum production. Sebum is the natural oil produced by skin for protection, which is stripped by alcohol. Fatty acids are deeply hydrating and help lock in moisture. Frankincense and Myrrh both have skin healing properties and are well-known for their repairing and rejuvenation functions. Their scent can also lift mood and help to boost wellbeing.
Fabulous Frankincense Renewal Cream:
✅ Absorbs quickly, softens and nourishes skin. A quarter finger-full does both hands 👍
✅ It's £35 for 50ml, but that'll last a good few months if used sparingly.
✅ It's also free from other chemicals which can be skin drying
✅ Synthetic fragrance free
