Caring for Your Hands Year-Round
The skin never takes a season off — yet our routines often do. The shift from winter to summer, or from dry air to humidity, can leave the skin feeling confused, dull, or dehydrated. At Palma de Salus, we believe skincare should evolve with the seasons, just as nature does. Each change in weather calls for a different rhythm — a recalibration of hydration, cleansing, and nourishment.
1. Winter Hands: Repair and Protect
Cold air, low humidity, and frequent handwashing can strip the skin of its natural oils. The result? Roughness, tightness, and irritation — especially on the hands, which are often our most exposed skin.
Our approach:
- Hydrate deeply. Choose humectants & barrier-repairing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and vitamin E.
- Switch to gentle cleansers. Our Hand & Body Wash is formulated to cleanse without over-drying, enriched with upcycled olive-pit powder to nourish while purifying.
- Seal in moisture. Follow cleansing with our Hand Sanitizing Serum — a skincare-grade formula that hydrates while protecting, even in colder months.
2. Spring: Reset and Rebalance
Spring is the season of renewal — for skin and for self. As temperatures rise, your skin begins to rebalance oil production and shed winter dryness.
Palma tip:
- Focus on gentle exfoliation and lighter hydration.
- Add botanical actives like neroli for renewal and brightness.
- Refresh your cleansing ritual — your skin deserves a clean slate for the months ahead.
3. Summer Glow: Calm and Clarify
Heat, sun, and humidity can trigger excess oil, dullness, and dehydration — a paradox familiar to anyone living through long summers in Dubai.
Our approach:
- Keep the cleansing ritual consistent, but cool it down with citrus and botanical scents that refresh.
- Hydrate, don’t over-strip. Alcohol-based sanitizers and harsh soaps can worsen dryness in the heat. A serum-based cleanser or sanitizer protects your skin barrier while keeping hands fresh.
- Replenish the body with lightweight moisturizers and nourishing washes that maintain elasticity and luminosity.
4. Autumn: Rebuild and Restore
As temperatures cool, the skin begins to lose moisture again. It’s the ideal time to reintroduce richer textures and restorative rituals.
Palma tip:
- Incorporate warm, grounding scents like sandalwood to ease the transition.
- Add occlusive but non-greasy formulas to protect against the first signs of dryness.
- Treat the ritual as a reset — cleansing, hydrating, and lighting a candle at day’s end to signal rest.
5. Year-Round Rituals That Endure
Skincare is seasonal — but self-care is timeless.
Wash gently, hydrate intentionally, and pause often.
Choose clean, sustainable formulations that work with the body, not against it.
Let scent and texture become a daily reminder to slow down and care for yourself.
At Palma de Salus, our mission is to make everyday wellness feel like quiet luxury — whether it’s midwinter hands or midsummer glow.
Every season tells a story — and your skin is part of it. When you choose better ingredients and intentional rituals, you give your skin what it needs to thrive all year long.
