A HELPING HAND
Soothe dry, cracked skin with O’keeffe’s three-step routine
Winter is here, and despite all the nice things the season brings (chunky knits, roaring fires, eggnog lattes), the cold weather can very quickly leave our hands feeling dry and sore. That's because when temperatures plummet, so too do the humidity levels in the air, drawing out the moisture from our skin – leaving it feeling tight, dehydrated and sensitive.
Central heating, which is a winter non-negotiable, can also play havoc with our skin's moisture levels. Add to all of this the frequent hand washing and sanitising we’re still practising and it’s no wonder so many of us struggle with dry, chapped hands.
The solution? O’keeffe’s Working Hands' effective three-step skincare routine, which doesn’t just instantly relieve feelings of dryness, but also works to maintain your skin's hydration levels long term.
STEP ONE
Start with O’keeffe’s Working Hands Hand Cream. Developed to protect hands from the stresses of day-to-day work, this rich cream is guaranteed to relieve even the most extreme dry, cracked skin quickly and effectively. The unscented, non-greasy formula doesn’t just boost moisture levels – thanks to high levels of glycerine, it also creates a protective layer over the skin, locking in hydration and preventing further moisture loss.
STEP TWO
Incorporate O’keeffe’s Working Hands Overnight into your bedtime routine for a boost of hand hydration while you sleep. Enriched with a blend of shea butter and conditioning oils, including grapefruit oil, sweet almond oil and lavender oil (which can help to enhance a good night's sleep), simply massage the nourishing cream into your skin and allow it to smooth and soften dry, cracked hands – with visible results in as little as one night.
STEP THREE
Finish with O’keeffe’s Working Hands Intensive Balm. This concentrated treatment targets the most cracked and irritated areas, such as fingertips, nail beds, cuticles and knuckles, for immediate relief. The thick formula gets to work straight away, enveloping your hands in a rich, long-lasting layer of hydration and sealing in moisture to give you soft, happy hands all winter long – leaving you free to enjoy all the fun elements of the season.
