A 5-Step, Expert-Backed Anti-Aging Hand Care Routine

Compare it to a facial skin care routine: No matter the quality of products you’re using to target skin concerns, they really do no good if you’re not washing your face properly. Take it from holistic esthetician Lesley Thornton, who said: “And you can do so much damage with a cleanser. What good is retinol if your barrier is compromised?”

The same is true for your hands. Arguably, it’s even more imperative as you’re washing your hands multiple times a day. 

Find a high quality hand wash that uses gentle surfactants that won’t break down the skin barrier. Bonus points if it’s infused with conditioning botanicals, humectants, antioxidants, and barrier-supporting actives. It’s a tall order, but mindbodygreen’s postbiotic hand wash delivers just that. 

The formula uses plant-derived, biodegradable surfactants that are gentle yet effective. It’s infused with aloe vera (a natural humectant), moringa seed oil, oat oil, red algae extracts, prebiotics, postbiotics, and the antioxidant coenzyme Q10. The formula leaves skin hydrated post wash—and refreshed and revived throughout the day.
