WITH the constant need to wash our hands or apply sanitiser these days, most people grapple with skin dryness and sensitivity.
I'm no exception. Sanitisers and antibacterial hand soaps always leave my palms feeling dry and itchy. The only solution is to counter these effects with a good hand cream.
Natura's Ekos Tukumã skincare range uses a fruit from a palm tree native to the Amazon. The tree is known for its ability to grow back even after a fire, bringing life back to degraded areas of the Amazon forest.
The butter and oil of the Tukumã fruit act together on the skin to stimulate cellular renewal and increase the levels of natural hyaluronic acid in the skin.
I find the hand cream in this range to be a luxurious treat for my tired, frequently dehydrated and dry hands.
My hands generally react very badly to common household cleaning agents, including detergents and dishwashing liquid. My skin tends to become taut and dry, and occasionally peels as well.
This hand cream provides instant relief. Its thick and creamy texture literally envelopes my hands in a "protective cover" yet doesn't feel greasy at all.
And while I can't quite place the scent that accompanies it, I certainly find it very appealing. It's mild and very gentle on the senses.
Most creams and lotions which use synthetic fragrances are too overpowering for me and tend to trigger my rhinitis. I end up with watery eyes and persistent sneezing within minutes of use.
DRAWING FROM NATURE
The Tukumã body lotion, meanwhile, appears to have the texture of a thick cream when viewed from the bottle but pump a dollop onto your palms and apply and you will quickly realise that its absorption rate is much more similar to a lotion.
It disappears quickly into the skin without leaving any sticky residue and has the same appealing natural scent as the hand cream.
The 100 per cent vegan product increases skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid and helps to reduce dryness and lines on the body for a smoother appearance.
Given its rich texture, you only need a small amount to stretch over the whole body and my skin feels instantly hydrated when I apply it after a shower.
The Tukumã range would particularly appeal to those with dry or sensitive skin as conventional skincare products tend to aggravate existing symptoms in these individuals. The range, which also includes creamy, solid soaps, provides an easy way to bid farewell to dry skin.
