Why moisturise your hands?

Our hands are constantly exposed to the elements and to daily activities that can cause dryness, making it essential to keep them well hydrated.

Our hands are constantly exposed to environmental stressors and daily activities that can dry them out, making proper hydration essential for maintaining healthy skin.

Why moisturizing your hands is essential for healthy skin

Hands are often overlooked in skincare routines, yet they deserve as much attention as the face and body. Like the face, neck and décolleté, hands are prone to showing early signs of ageing.

Proper hand moisturising helps to:

• prevent dryness and chapping
• maintain skin elasticity
• reduce signs of premature ageing
• support the repair of minor cuts and irritations

How to moisturize your hands: essential steps

Choose the right hand moisturizer

Selecting the right hand moisturizer is key. Look for formulas rich in nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, sweet almond oil or aloe vera.
At Algologie, we recommend the crème mains du littoral – protective hand & nail cream, designed to nourish, protect and repair the skin. Its rich yet fast-absorbing texture is enriched with shea butter, the patented Algo 4® marine complex and provitamin B5, leaving hands soft and comfortable.

Exfoliate your hands for better hydration

Exfoliate your hands once a week to remove dead skin cells and improve the absorption of moisturizing products.
We recommend the scrub du littoral – body scrub with sea salts, ideal for gentle exfoliation.

Apply hand cream regularly

For soft and hydrated hands, apply your cream several times a day, especially after washing. Massage gently until fully absorbed, focusing on dry areas such as knuckles and cuticles.

Stay hydrated from within

Skin hydration also starts from within. Drink at least 1.5 to 2 litres of water per day to maintain overall hydration.

Protect your hands from drying factors

Harsh chemicals and antibacterial soaps can weaken the skin barrier. Use gentle cleansers and wear gloves when handling household products.

Complete hand care routine for soft and hydrated skin

Start with the écume du littoral – revitalising body & hand cleansing gel, which gently cleanses while providing initial hydration thanks to marine extracts.

Follow with the scrub du littoral to exfoliate and prepare the skin.

Finish with the crème mains du littoral, enriched with marine ingredients to nourish, soothe and repair the skin.

By combining these steps, your hands will stay soft, smooth and hydrated all year round.
