Cracked Bleeding Hands
L'ATHENE offers a complete line of pure nutrient skincare to... nourish and restore skin on dry, challenged hands.
Cracked bleeding hands can be so painful and a source of infection. Many people have occupations that put them at risk. For instance, when hands are in water frequently, are washed continuously, are put in grease or other adhesive agents, or are in gloves for hours. Harsh anti-bacterial soaps can be very irritating too. L'ATHENE received national press for helping painful, cracked hands of bus mechanics in only three days.
Reduce the Cracked, Dry, Flaking, Reddened, Irritated Skin
The cracks need attention! Left untreated, these cracks in the skin leave you more vulnerable to infections and outside irritants.
Here is the Bus Mechanics Protocol that resulted in national press with its 3-day improvement results:
Each night, before bed, gently wash hands with organic shampoo, rinse and pat dry. Then apply a layer of NEROLI Body Silkening Nutrient Crème. Follow with a layer of A&D Ointment® to the areas on the hands where the cracks are and where you feel they are most likely to occur. Then, apply white cotton socks (the athletic type), to your hands. Sleep in the socks over the hands at night until the cracks heal. Socks work better than gloves. In the morning, remove the socks, shower as normal and apply just NEROLI Creme for the day. If during the day, the skin needs a hydration boost, apply a drop of EXTRACT Dry Skin Hydrating Plant Oil. Rub in and apply NEROLI over the dried area.
Care for Your Hands Each Day
Be sure to wash your hands with warm water - not hot or cold. Temperature extremes are not healthy for the skin. Wear unpowdered rubber gloves whenever possible if you are working in water or grease. If your hands tend to sweat, try a pair of white cotton gloves under the rubber gloves and launder them frequently. After you wash your hands, dry completely. Apply a layer of NEROLI Body Silkening Nutrient Crème. This nutritive creme helps restore fatty acid content to the skin. It contains no petroleum barriers so it goes directly into the skin. Apply after shower and at bedtime. If skin gets dry during the day, apply at least one other time. If hands begin to look redder or the weather is cold and drying, and your hands are exposed to the elements, follow the suggestions above for cracks. By doing this procedure preventatively, you can help avoid cracks from occurring.
