1. Hand cream

This product must be used several times a day. We all know how the skin of the hands reacts to cold and wind outside or low humidity in heated (or air-conditioned) rooms. And if you remember what effect hard tap water has on the skin of your hands, it will immediately become clear: a tube of moisturizing hand cream should always be at hand.

Tubes of hand cream should be everywhere: in the bathroom, in the desktop drawer, in the car, travel bag, cosmetic bag – of course, if you want your hands to look well-groomed. Apply the cream every time after washing your hands, it will help restore and strengthen the hydro-lipid protective mantle of the skin.

Best hand creams according to Healthy-Food

  • Intensive Regenerating Hand Cream “Intensive care and nutrition”, Garnier with maple juice, allantoin and glycerin immediately relieves dry skin of the hands, which reacts sharply to any external influence. The moisturizing effect lasts 24 hours.

  • Hand Cream Ultimate Strength Hand Salve, Kiehl’s , contains three ingredients that create a protective barrier on the surface of the skin: squalane, avocado oil and shea butter. Rich creamy texture absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky feeling.

2. Lip balm

Some panic when they discover that they forgot it at home. Others ignore lip care, explaining their refusal by the fact that moisturizing / nourishing and lipstick is enough, although this is not the case.

We invite you to join a group of lip balm fans, and here’s why: the skin of the lips is devoid of the stratum corneum, so it’s a little bit weathered, flaky, covered with cracks, and lipstick, especially bright, looks in this case, to put it mildly, ugly.

The Best Lip Balms According to Healthy-Food

  • Butterstick Lip Treatment SPF 25, Kiehl’s smoothes, softens and deeply hydrates lips, contains antioxidant-rich coconut and lemon oils to nourish and protect. The range includes colorless and tinted options.

  • Nutritic Lèvres, La Roche-Posay Nourishing balm for deep restoration of the skin of the lips creates a protective barrier on the skin of the lips with the help of biolipids – fatty acids from valuable vegetable oils that nourish the skin and help retain moisture for a long time.

  • Lip balm stick Aqualia Thermal, Vichy improves the condition of dry, cracked skin of the lips and serves as a means of preventing peeling. The composition has everything you need to achieve the goal: glycerin, shea butter, vitamin E and asiatic acid, obtained from centella asiatica.
