What cream for my hands?

Overall, all hand creams quite adequately fulfill their primary purpose of moisturizing and nourishing the skin. However, depending on your skin type, it is in your best interest to choose one organic cream over another, especially depending on its composition.

In this case, you have to go up a gear and choose a cream specially formulated for the most sensitive skin. This is the case of PAI SKINCARE's organic soothing hand cream, very nourishing and regenerating because it is enriched with vegetable oils of fragonia and sea buckthorn, as well as shea butter. Light and non-greasy, it is immediately absorbed by the skin and restores comfort to the hands, and that, we love it!
  • A cream for mature skin :even if it means applying daily care to your hands, as long as it is perfectly suited to your skin type! If it begins to show signs of skin aging, including the appearance of pigment spots, do not hesitate to choose a hand cream to reduce the signs of aging. CATTIER anti-dark spot hand cream targets brown spots to reduce them thanks to the lightening and protective action of sea lily, while moisturizing and protecting your skin without leaving a greasy film.
