The Benefits of Using a Hand Mask

Say Goodbye to Dryness with a Hand Mask Designed for Deep Hydration

Give your hands the care they deserve with a hydrating hand mask solution ideal for all skin types. Our hands are always on display; we use them to express ourselves, show love, and accomplish daily tasks. As much as they get done, many of us can’t remember the last time we pampered our hands. The skin on our hands is delicate, making it one of the first areas to show signs of ageing. Unlike our face, which we routinely cleanse, exfoliate, and moisturise, our hands are often neglected in skincare routines. That’s why masks are so effective – they provide nourishment that restores soft youthfulness. If you’ve never considered a hand mask product before, now is the time to try it! With our Deep Hydration Hand Sheet Masks, you have an easy weekly solution for replenishing moisture and giving your hands a treat.

Reasons to Include a Hand Mask in Your Skincare Routine

Your hands endure more than you realise every day. We tend to focus so much on facial skincare that we forget how much our hands reveal about us. At Borghese, we believe that skincare includes the whole body, not just the face. Here’s why hand care is just as important as your facial routine:

• Constant Environmental Exposure: Your hands are exposed to more environmental damage than almost any other part of your body. Sun damage and harsh UV rays lead to wrinkles and dark spots, and the heat and dry air in summer can also leave hands rough and dry. During winter, a drop in temperature and humidity dehydrates the skin, leading to irritation, flakiness, and cracks. Unlike the skin on your face, the back of your hands produces less natural oil, making it harder to maintain hydration in this area. Without daily care, hands may look weathered and aged before their time.
• Frequent Washing and Sanitising: Since the global pandemic, handwashing and sanitising have become second nature to us. While necessary for hygiene, alcohol-based sanitisers and anti-bacterial soaps often strip away the skin’s natural oils, leaving hands feeling tight and dry and even exacerbating conditions like eczema. A weekly hydrating hand mask that replenishes lost moisture and restores your skin’s barrier is an effective way to combat the dryness from handwashing.
• Thin, Sensitive Skin on Your Hands: The skin on the back of your hands is thinner than most other areas of the body. With little fat underneath, hands lose volume and elasticity even faster than the face. This can make one’s hands more prone to showing age-related changes like wrinkles and sun damage. It also makes the skin in this area less resilient to environmental stressors and concerns like dryness and irritation. Using a hand mask regularly helps counteract these effects, keeping your skin youthful and supple.

Think about all the ways you use your hands – for cooking, cleaning, gardening, typing, manual tasks, creativity, and showing care towards your loved ones. The best way to appreciate all your hands do for you is to give them the gift of healthy skin.

Using Your Hand Sheet Masks in 5 Steps

At Borghese, we believe in minimal skincare with maximum results. Applying a hand sheet mask is effortless and takes just 20 minutes – which makes for a perfect self-care moment while watching TV, reading a book, or relaxing with a hot beverage. Follow these five simple steps:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly, making sure they are clean and dry before applying the mask.
2. Remove the gloves from the pouch, unfold them, and gently separate them.
3. Place your hands inside each glove between the woven fabric. The gloves are labelled “L” and “R” to indicate which hand they are for. You can then secure the gloves with the adhesive tabs.
4. Relax for 15 to 20 minutes, letting the formulation get to work while you sit back and unwind.
5. Remove each hand mask and gently massage any leftover product into your skin – no rinsing needed.

For best results, use the hand sheets once a week or whenever your hands need treatment.

General Tips on Protecting Your Hands Daily

While using a hand mask provides deep hydration, daily hand skincare habits also play a role in keeping your skin looking beautiful.

• Moisturise Daily: Apply a rich hand cream in the morning, at night, and after using hand sanitisers to lock in moisture.
• Use Sunscreen: Sun exposure causes premature ageing, so apply sunscreen regularly when outside.
• Wear Cleaning Gloves: Harsh chemicals and hot water can irritate the skin and strip its barrier, so be sure to keep your hands protected.
• Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin plump and hydrated from the inside out.
