It will solve all your winter hand woes.
When the temperatures drop, it can cause all sorts of problems with your skin – especially for your hands.
The combination of cold, dry air and an increased need for more vigilant hand washing (we’re looking at you, flu season), make it pretty much a necessity to have a hand cream nearby to keep cracking cuticles and dry hands at bay.
So we’ve found the perfect Irish-made hydrating hand salve to last you through the winter.
Dublin Herbalists’ Enriching Hand Cream, available for €9.95, will solve all your winter hand woes with its formula, which is designed to get into the deepest layers of the skin.
It uses white poppy seed, flaxseed, calendula and rice bran oils to restore, protect and firm the skin, protecting your hands from any the plunging temperatures outside.
Meanwhile, the shea nut butter and vitamin E soften and nourish the skin, leaving your hands feeling brand new.
Dublin Herbalist’s Claire Brett explained to Her how they developed the product and why she thinks there has been an increased interest in natural skincare in Ireland over the last few months.
She said:
“It was the right season for bringing out the hand cream, it’s already gotten a great reception.
“With developing a hand cream, you want to have those thicker oils – they get into the deepest layers of the skin.
“It’s got the right blend of oils, you feel like you’ve got that deeply nourishing cream but can continue on around your day.”
The company, which was founded in 2010, is based around 100% natural products.
And with a recent surge in more natural skincare products hitting the market, Claire explained why she thinks the trend will keep going.
She told us:
“People are demanding more organic ingredients, and that’s starting to branch into skincare.
“It’s like food – people are becoming a lot more aware of stuff they’re putting into their body.
“What we’re putting onto our skin is just as important as what we’re putting into our body.”
