The skin on your hands and feet has its own needs and can suffer from tightness, dryness, or roughness. Why not treat them to a beauty ritual specifically designed for these areas? When your hands and feet require extra care or will be more exposed to external aggressors than usual, give them the attention they deserve. This way, your skin will look perfect, and your manicure and pedicure will be divine.
STEP 1: EXFOLIATE HAND AND FEET, TOO!
Those of you who usually have your nails done by professionals will know already that exfoliation is key. Whether you use a chemical peel or a scrub, you should be incorporating this step into your hand care once a week. Exfoliating helps renew the skin, eliminate blemishes and enhance the penetration of the products. Take advantage of shower time to exfoliate with Diamond Well-Living Wash & Scrub and step out with extra-smooth skin.
PRO TIP: If your skin seems irritated or damaged, postpone the exfoliation.
STEP 2: MORE HYDRATION, MORE RESILIENCE
Frequent cleansing and showers may weaken your skin barrier causing potential dryness and roughness. A quick fix is to become addicted to your hydrating and nourishing cream to preserve the moisture of the skin and restore its hydrolipidic mantle. If your go-to cream includes ingredients such as hyaluronic acid of our Diamond Luminous Perfecting Hand Cream (for hands) or aloe vera of Diamond Well-Living The Body Cream (for feet), you have a winner.
PRO TIP: Application is key. If you do it thoroughly, you not only boost the absorption of ingredients, but deliver all benefits associated with a relaxing massage.
STEP 3: BOOK 15 MINUTES FOR INTENSIVE CARE
Use your favorite mask also on your hands and feet. Apply a generous layer and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes before removing it. Make this your cherished time of the week as you watch a movie or practice mindfulness while the mask works its magic. You can also combine your beauty routines and apply the mask to your face for a double win.
PRO TIP: A great idea is to put on cotton gloves or socks after you apply your mask. They will allow you to apply a thicker layer of product so it can penetrate more deeply. You can wear them to bed for an intensive repairing cure.
STEP 4: NOURISHING OIL FOR A POP OF EXTRA BEAUTY
After the mask, a regenerating oil, like NB·Ceutical Rosa Mosqueta Oil with Tamanu Oil, works wonders for your nails and cuticles. If you use it regularly âand also stop using nail polish for a few daysâ you can say goodbye to brittle or irregularly textured nails.
PRO TIP: Add a few drops of your oil to your cream for heightened nutrition and repair. The perfect touch to upgrade your massage to a truly luxurious spa ritual.
