How to Keep Your Hands Soft with Frequent Handwashing
Dry Hands? Constant hand washing and sanitizing strips away our skin's natural moisture barrier and leaves our hands parched and dry. Here are 3 easy tips to keep your hands looking amazing: Tip 1: Use Gentle Soaps Whenever Possible When we wash our hands dozens of times a day, the soap we use matters even more. Many soaps are loaded with harsh detergents that strip away our skin's natural oils. Try switching to a gentle, plant-based soap that cleans effectively without drying out your skin. Tip 2: Marula Oil — Your Skin's Holy Grail The ancient African fruit marula produces one of the richest healing oils on the planet. It's packed with antioxidants and has over four times the vitamin C of an orange! It's anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal, providing deep healing that's perfect for all skin types. When you apply marula topically, these oils are rapidly absorbed into your skin delivering healing and moisturizing benefits that will leave your skin with an undeniable glow! Because of these incredible healing properties, marula trees are often considered sacred in Africa and serve as community gathering sites. We love marula so much that it's featured in nearly all Ellovi products. Tip 3: Moisturize After You Wash! Taking that one extra step to moisturize after you wash or sanitize will make all the difference! Just keep a jar of Ellovi Butter near your sink. Once you start the habit it will become easy and your hands will never look better.
