Spa+Clinic Team Hands can be the dead giveaway of a person’s true age, no matter how youthful they have kept their face, neck and dec with a diligent skincare routine and perhaps surgical or non-surgical procedures.
But the hands tend be by an afterthought in terms of TLC, even though they are typically one of the first parts of the body to show signs of ageing, exacerbated by rigours they are regularly exposed to – eg. housework, washing up and gardening.
Regular hand-washing for hygiene purposes also that means that moisturising UV protection should be reapplied every time – yet not too many people even think to do this.
The result is skin that becomes aged, thin and crepey, with dark spots and patches.
Medik8’s new Hydr8 B5 Hand Cream SPF 15 helps shield hands from daily pollution exposure and defend against harmful UV rays, all in a rich, nourishing formula that’s set to be an influential trailblazer in the hand cream market.
Featuring the same multi-level hydration properties as Medik8’s best-selling Hydra B5 Skin Rehydration Serum (with high levels of hyaluronic acid), this innovative hand cream has a fast-absorbing, citrus-scented formula that leaves hands instantly soft, but never greasy.
Suitable for all ages, Hydr8 B5 Hand Cream SPF 15 offers optimum care and protection for young, vulnerable skin, as well as anti-ageing benefits for tired, overworked hands.
The breakdown:
● Anti-Pollution Technology. Infused with moringa seed extract, this game-changing product forms an invisible film on the surface of the skin that neutralises pollutants upon contact, preventing them from being absorbed into the epidermis. Shielding against common irritants such as carbon monoxide and sulphur dioxide (industrial fumes and car emissions) as well as particles in suspension (cigarette smoke, PM2.5), it significantly diminishes pollution-caused ageing effects, including redness, irritation and dull, devitalised skin.
● Sun Protection SPF 15. This advanced formula uses broad spectrum UV filters to protect the skin from cellular damage from both UVA and UVB rays. Unlike many other SPFs on the market, it is 100% photostable, meaning its efficacy does not diminish once exposed to light.
● Rehydration Technology. Boasting Medik8’s signature Hydr8 B5 technology, the cream offers instant, yet long-lasting relief for dry, damaged hands, cuticles and nails. Containing hyaluronic acid, a hydrating molecule that holds 1,000 times its weight in water, and vitamin B5, a powerful active that improves moisture retention within the skin whilst stimulating regeneration and healing, it penetrates deep within the skin to plump, soften and smooth from the inside out.
Only a pea-sized amount needs to be massage into the hands as and when hydration is needed, ensuring to pay close attention to the nails and cuticles for maximum results.
Keep a tube in in your bag or in your car for easy, on-the-go application. Alternatively, for an intensive, deeply-nourishing treatment, slather over hands and wrist and encase in a glove overnight or until product is completely dissolved.
