Why We Avoid Hand Lotion

Why We Avoid Hand Lotion

Avoid Buying Over The Counter Hand Lotion This Winter

Those cold winter days filled with frigid cold air can dry out your hands.

Most of us just lather on some hand lotion, right?

In the book Secrets the Beauty Industry Doesn't Want You to Know, David Pollock writes: "skin creams can actually increase signs of aging."

Emulsifiers are binding agents that let oil and water mix in those moisturizers and lotions. They leave a residue on the skin that affects your lipid barrier, allowing water to escape from the skin faster. The moisture effect quickly fades, skin dries out again, and you’re in need of more moisturizer.

Soon, you need more just to keep up with the dry skin cycle.

Deborah Niemann, author of the new book Ecothrifty: Cheaper, Greener Choices for a Happier, Healthier Life, recommends sunflower oil to moisturize your skin.

Sunflower oil is an excellent hand lotion because it’s thinner and absorbs quickly. With Vitamin E making up a large portion of its content, it also helps repair skin naturally.

Our all-natural cold-pressed Sunflower oil has zero chemicals, fragrances, or artificial colorings – which are found in most hand lotions.

Winter Hands Love How This Feels…

Try a small amount of Akasha Beauty Oil and massage it on your hands, elbows, or feet. Mother nature’s natural skin lotion goes to work immediately without any smell and lasts for hours.

Just about everyone who experiences dry, cracked hands over the winter season would love our Akasha Beauty Oil.

It's microfiltered to ensure only the restorative parts of the oil are there to support your skin without any scents or perfume and lasts for hours.

 

Thank you for being part of our mission to promote natural, healthy skincare from the inside out.

And as always... be well!

With Love,
Kriss and the Akasha Beauty Team 💖
