In the winter months, hydration is the watchword.
The colder temperatures make the skin of our body more in need of care, but particular attention must be paid to the parts of the body most exposed to external factors such as hands, feet and lips.
The skin is not the same in all parts of the body, it changes its structure and the way it reacts to external stimuli, therefore it cannot be treated all the same way.
Let's find out the correct beauty routine for perfect skin on hands, feet and lips, even during the winter.
The Winter Beauty Routine
A touch for your hands
Compared to other parts of the body, the skin of the hands is composed of a very thin and delicate stratum corneum, especially on the back. The hands, in fact, are the first to be affected by climate change: colder temperatures, wind and sun make the skin rough, red and chapped.
Furthermore, even water at warm temperatures, the constant use of sanitising gels and the choice of excessively aggressive detergents can irritate the skin.
For perfectly hydrated, velvety and soft hand skin even in the coldest months, Philip Martin's recommends gentle daily cleansing with Everyday Hand Wash and Everyday Hand Serum. Two products in a practical 500ml format, suitable for the whole family.
Everyday Hand Wash
Everyday Hand Wash is a true beauty elixir to gently cleanse your hands without drying or irritating the skin. Rich in delicate surfactants and natural extracts with moisturising, emollient and soothing properties, it gives hydration and extreme softness. A delicate amber fragrance will leave your hands scented for a long time.
For good cleansing, apply a small amount of product to damp skin. Emulsify and massage your hands until a soft foam is formed, then rinse thoroughly with warm water, avoiding hot temperatures.
Everyday Hand Serum
After cleansing, it is important to moisturise the skin of your hands with a good hand cream. Everyday Hand Serum is a fast-absorbing and velvety serum suitable for all skin types.
Rich in natural and Organic ingredients such as Organic Yarrow extracts, Organic Calendula and Golden Violet, it hydrates and soothes the skin from irritation or redness. Leaves the skin delicately scented with refined amber notes.
After cleansing your hands, or when needed, apply an adequate amount of Everyday Hand Serum to hands, nails and cuticles. Gently massage until completely absorbed.
To keep your hands well hydrated throughout the day, Philip Martin's has created Everyday Hand Serum in a handy 75ml format to take with you.
A good cleansing and the application of a good cream are not enough to fully respect the pH of the hands, even sanitising the skin with a good product can make the difference.
Hygien IT Spray by Philip Martin's satisfies the need to sanitise and nourish hands at the same time, leaving a pleasant scent. Its practical spray formulation allows an almost instant absorption.
A feeling of freshness for your feet
Like the hands, the feet need more care during the winter. During the cold seasons they are constantly stressed between low temperatures and tight shoes, and the skin of the feet is more prone to dryness. To keep the skin of our feet well hydrated it is necessary to choose a good moisturiser to be applied daily or several times a day to counteract dry heels.
Sensation Foot Cream
Sensation Foot Cream by Philip Martin's is a soft and quickly absorbed cream. It deeply moisturises and nourishes, leaving a refreshing and long-lasting scent on the skin. Thanks to the properties of its natural ingredients, such as Tea Tree extract and Lavender Essential Oil, Sensation Foot Cream is useful in the prevention of common foot problems.
The application is very simple, just apply the right amount of product on clean feet and massage until completely absorbed.
Nourishment for your lips
Lips deserve our full attention and should be constantly moisturised during the winter. The colder temperatures and the humidity created under the mask can cause dryness, cracking and minor trauma. To counter these problems and protect them, applying a lip balm such as Lip Balm is essential.
Lip Balm
Lip Balm is a nourishing lip balm with a rich and dense consistency, ideal for an intensive and effective treatment. Its formulation based on butters, such as Cocoa Butter and Shea Butter, has a protective, moisturising and soothing action. The lips will be nourished and softened with an immediate feeling of comfort.
Apply as needed, whenever the lips lose the veil of hydration that acts as a barrier to atmospheric agents.
