Three areas of the body you often forget to lubricate

We know that it is important to drink at least eight glasses of water daily. Our skin, on the other hand, must also be looked after from the outside so that we can ensure the supply of the right ingredients to the skin. This is especially true in cooler climates. Proper hydration of the skin can strengthen the skin's own natural moisture production and strengthen the protective barrier to prevent moisture loss. We are good at lubricating our face but often forget other parts of our body. Remember that a good moisturizer should contain ingredients that stimulate the skin.

Here are three areas of the body that are often neglected:

The eyes

The skin around your eyes is the thinnest on your body - its thickness is approx. 0.5 mm - and is also one of the places that first begins to show signs of ageing. Here, the skin immediately shows how hydrated or dehydrated you are. It is also a place where darkening begins to occur either genetically or for example due to lack of sleep.

The solution is eye cream that contains, for example, caffeine and antioxidants that do not irritate the skin. Caffeine can reduce swelling and antioxidants will help reverse sun damage, protect and strengthen the collagen in the skin. Eye cream should be applied morning and evening after cleansing the skin.  

The feet

The skin on your feet is some of the thickest on your body, and people often neglect to take care of their feet. The skin often becomes hard and dry. One thing is that it doesn't look very attractive, but the skin can also crack and it can be a gateway for bacteria. It is best to moisturize your skin after you shower.

The skin around the nails

The thickened layer of skin that surrounds both finger and toenails also requires daily hydration.
