CERAMIDES
HAND & FOOT CREAMS

Hand and foot creams, moisturisers and lotions are often formulated with emollients to deliver hydration and moisture to common areas of dryness. But what causes dry skin in hands and feet? Hands are generally susceptible to dry skin due to external factors such as cold weather or frequent handwashing, whereas feet are prone to dryness due to their lack of oil glands. The CeraVe range of hand and foot moisturisers feature the three essential ceramides, in addition to hyaluronic acid, for dry skincare that not only strengthens the natural skin barrier, but hydrates and retains moisture in the skin too.

How often you apply hand cream depends on a number of factors including what time of year it is, in addition to how often you are washing or sanitising hands. During colder l months where skin is affected by the cooler climate, it is common to experience increased dry skin in winter and therefore you will require more hand cream to minimise texture and maintain hydration. In warmer months, the general recommendation is to apply hand cream once daily, with additional application if and when you notice signs of dryness or discomfort.

Similarly, foot cream is recommended to implement into your daily skincare regimen as a preventative measure against cracking and dryness. Where environmental factors affect feet less, it is still important to provide the skin on your feet with the right measures of care year-round to both prevent and improve skin texture.

The CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream and Renewing SA Foot Cream both feature CeraVe’s patented MVE Technology which provides 24 hours of hydration once applied to hands and feet, with a slow release of active ingredients. This feature means that hands and feet remain hydrated with a strengthened protective skin barrier for optimal comfort, due to their formulations that feature hyaluronic acid and the three essential ceramides.

The CeraVe Reparative Hand Cream makes an effective choice of hand care for extremely dry and rough hands due to its formulation of hyaluronic acid, the three essential ceramides, glycerin and dimethicone. These active ingredients are slowly released due to CeraVe’s patented MVE Technology which provides 24 hours of hydration for dry skin on hands. Hydrate and protect hard working hands with a hand lotion that strengthens the skin’s protective barrier to reduce the effects of external irritants.
