If you go back to your school science lessons you’ll remember that the pH level is measured on a scale of 1-14. This refers to how acidic or alkaline something is. Normal, healthy skin measures between 6.5 to 7.5 and this shows it is performing as it should.
Harsh chemicals in many off-the-shelf hand gels and soaps makes skin too alkaline and this is when it starts to become dry and flaky. With this in mind I developed my super nourishing Vanilla Pod Hand Cream. It’s is made with powdered sand and added anti-viral sandalwood. These provide a protective barrier to stop our hands from drying out and stop dirt becoming ingrained.
Apply first thing in the morning and throughout the day as needed to protect during daily activities and chores and keep skin feeling soft and cared. It has a wonderfully heady scent of coconut and vanilla, and is so gentle and natural that it can also be used on your lips and nails.
VANILLA POD PUT TO THE TEST ... I asked one of my clients to try Vanilla Pod Hand Cream after she was suffering dry skin along her fingers and palm. Within three days, her hands felt much healthier and the flakiness had disappeared. "I'm delighted how quickly the cream works," she says. "My hands were softer instantly and within a few days the dry, flaky skin had completely healed."
