Be kind to your hands


In all the 30 years we have been using and carrying the Aveda line of products, I have collected a group of favorites. One of my all time favorites is the Hand Relief Hand Lotion. I love it! Unlike a lot of other lotions, I love the consistency of the lotion. It’s extremely moisturizing, but doesn’t leave you with an oily feel. Not to mention a clean and fresh aroma. 

Leave it Aveda to make a good thing even better. Aveda just released their newest product, Hand Relief Night Renewal Serum. It’s designed to work together with the Hand Relief Lotion.  

This is a restorative nighttime treatment serum that improves the texture and tone of your hands while you sleep.  Aveda list some of the benefits of the serum as:

Visibly reduces the dark spots | Moisturizers and plumps to smooth fine lines | Andiroba oil protects skin’s natural moisture barrier | moisturizers and plumps to smooth fine lines
— aveda

After looking over the benefits and ingredients we referred to our beyond talented Medical Aesthetician, Angela Vance for her opinion. She made a list of key ingredients that backed up the benefits that Aveda had mentioned. 

  • Antioxidants- vitamins C and A for anti-aging and also helps with firming the skin, and aids in dark spots 
  • Licorice and Molasses extract- aids in skin lightening for dark or brown spots 
  • Natural Plant Extract- for increasing moisture
  • *Lipids-to prevent moisture loss

Thanks to Angela for breaking it down for us. 

Another added plus to the serum, it’s aroma. Like the Hand Relief Lotion, it has a fresh citrus aroma, featuring organic oranges, lavandin and eucalyptus. Your hands will smell fantastic, in addition to being smooth and silky. 

So all this being said...... I have a new favorite to add to my list. Be kind to your hands!
