Hey there, fellow hairdressers! As someone who's in the hand cream supply business, I totally get the toll that your profession takes on your hands. You're constantly working with chemicals, water, and heat styling tools, and all of these can leave your hands dry, cracked, and in desperate need of some TLC. That's why I'm here to share some of the best hand creams that I'd recommend for you guys.
First off, let's talk about what you should look for in a hand cream. You need something that's super moisturizing because your hands are exposed to so many drying elements throughout the day. A good hand cream should also have ingredients that can repair and protect the skin barrier. Ingredients like shea butter, cocoa butter, and glycerin are great for locking in moisture. And if it has some natural antioxidants like vitamin E, that's even better as it can help fight off damage from free radicals.
One of my top picks is the Midnight Allure Hand Cream. This hand cream is a game - changer. It's formulated with a blend of rich shea butter and jojoba oil. Shea butter is like a little miracle worker for dry skin. It's packed with vitamins A, E, and F, which are essential for skin repair and moisture retention. Jojoba oil, on the other hand, is very similar to the natural oils produced by our skin, so it gets absorbed quickly without leaving that greasy feeling.
I've had a few hairdressers tell me that after using the Midnight Allure Hand Cream, they noticed a significant improvement in the dryness and roughness of their hands. It's also got a really nice, subtle fragrance that's not overpowering, which is great because you don't want your hand cream to clash with the scents in the salon.
Another great option is the Petals Hand Cream. This one is a bit more on the luxurious side. It contains rosehip oil, which is high in essential fatty acids and antioxidants. These fatty acids help to strengthen the skin's barrier, preventing moisture from escaping. And the antioxidants protect the skin from environmental damage.
The Petals Hand Cream has a light, floral scent that makes it a pleasure to use. It's also non - comedogenic, which means it won't clog your pores. This is important because as hairdressers, your hands are always in contact with different products, and you don't want to add to any skin problems.
Now, if you're a fan of woody scents, then the Floral Sandalwood Hand Cream is for you. This hand cream combines the moisturizing power of coconut oil with the soothing properties of sandalwood. Coconut oil is amazing for hydrating the skin. It penetrates deep into the skin layers, providing long - lasting moisture.
Sandalwood has been used for centuries for its calming and anti - inflammatory effects. So, not only does this hand cream make your hands feel soft and smooth, but it can also help soothe any irritation that your hands might have from constant exposure to chemicals.
I know that some of you might be thinking, "Well, these sound great, but how often should I use them?" My advice is to apply hand cream as often as possible. Right after you wash your hands is a perfect time because your skin is more receptive to moisture. You can also keep a tube of hand cream at your workstation and apply it every time you take a break. And before you go to bed, slather on a thick layer of hand cream and put on a pair of cotton gloves. This will help the hand cream work its magic overnight.
I've also heard some concerns from hairdressers about hand creams interfering with their work. You don't want your hands to be too slippery when you're handling hair. The good news is that all of the hand creams I've recommended are fast - absorbing. They won't leave your hands greasy or sticky, so you can get back to styling hair right away.
As a hand cream supplier, I'm always looking for ways to improve the products I offer. I work closely with dermatologists and chemists to make sure that our hand creams are not only effective but also safe to use. We test our products rigorously to ensure that they meet the highest quality standards.
If you're interested in trying out these hand creams for your salon or just for your personal use, I'd love to have a chat with you. Whether you're a small independent hairdresser or run a big salon chain, we can work out a deal that suits your needs. You can reach out to me to discuss bulk purchasing options, pricing, and any other questions you might have.
In conclusion, taking care of your hands is crucial as a hairdresser. The right hand cream can make a world of difference in the health and appearance of your hands. So, give these hand creams a try and see the results for yourself. Your hands will thank you, and you'll be able to focus on what you do best - creating amazing hairstyles!
