Your hard working hands need to be taken care of, as they - like your neck, show your age the easiest and with the most relentless honesty. Applying a good hand cream, like our Moisturizing Hand and Body Balm will go a long way in keeping your hands well moisturized and looking young, but if you need an extra boost to fight dehydrated wrinkly hands, then our Intensive Hand Treatment is the thing to look at.

Benefits of our Intensive Hand Treatment Balm

If you want to judge somebody's age, look at their hands, because neglect of the hands shows very quickly and is a telltale sign of aging. Proper care with nourishing and moisturizing treatments to the hands will help to keep the hands smooth and younger looking, without the normal lines and wrinkles found on hands that are mistreated.

We use our hands daily, and they are normally a good barometer on how to judge how well people look after themselves - as well kept hands are normally indicative of people that take personal grooming seriously.

Hands unfortunately take a beating in everyday life, since they are double abused - not only do they have to withstand environmental factors, but are further subjected to a host of chemical and mechanical stressors as well.

How often have you washed dishes or cleaned your hands with a chemical cleanser after doing messy work, only to find that your hands are red, rough and sometimes even sore to the touch? We all work hard, and since our hands usually do all the work, they also need some gentle loving care to keep on looking their best.

Our Intensive Hand Treatment is not a hand cream that you would use like you would normally use a hand cream - it is a specialized treatment designed and formulated to fight severely dehydrated and wrinkly hands. Some people, through genetics, lifestyle or environmental factors, struggle with very dry hands, and this again leads to hands that age quickly. These hands show their discontent by wrinkling easily, and have a dull, dehydrated look about them.

Should the above sound like a close description of your hands; you may want to consider treating your hands to some special care to help regain soft and smooth hands, and to negate the passage of time to some extent.

Apart from the richly nourishing and elasticity promoting hydrating ingredients it contains, it also contains a selection of ingredients specifically included and formulated to revitalize the skin in general and promote collagen formation, increase circulation and tone the hands. This is a far more intense treatment than the Moisturizing Hand and Body Balm, which we advocate for daily use. People find that they do not need to use the Intensive Hand Treatment on a daily basis, but that a boosting treatment every week or fortnight is a great way to keep on having soft, smooth and great looking hands.

Consumers in the know acknowledge that there is no other treatment cream for hands on the market, that contains the selection of ingredients found in this cream, and although not the cheapest cream on the market, it is the most effective hand treatment cream that will get you the results you want.

As per the directions, it is better to use at night, when going to bed, and after applying a liberal amount, to enclose your hands in gloves - be that cheap disposable ones, or custom made treatment gloves, for the best penetration of the cream.
