Avec l'hiver glacial qui nous tombe dessus, ce sont avant tout nos mains qui vont trinquer ! Neige, vent et froid causent mains desséchées, fissures ou engelures dans le pire des cas... La peau des mains est particulièrement exposée et porter des gants ne suffit pas toujours.
Il est possible de réaliser facilement chez soi un baume relipidant pour les mains, très hydratant et légèrement couvrant pour limiter la perte en eau. Découvrez notre recette conseil...

Munissez vous d'un petit caquelon dans lequel vous ferez fondre 20 grammes de beurre de karité BIO et 10 ml de macérât huileux de calendula au bain marie. Une fois la préparation fondue, retirez du feu et laissez refroidir une à deux minutes. Ajoutez à l'huile obtenue une cuiller à café de miel liquide bio. Mélangez soigneusement avec un mini fouet ou une fourchette préalablement désinfectée (ou bouillie). Ajoutez enfin à la préparation refroidie les huiles essentielles suivantes :
- huile essentielle HECT de palmarosa : 8 gouttes
- huile essentielle HECT de ciste ladanifère : 5 gouttes
- huile essentielle HECT de géranium rosat : 3 gouttes
Mélangez et versez la préparation semi-liquide dans un petit pot facile à emporter avec vous durant la journée. Placez le pot une nuit au réfrigérateur afin de stabiliser le baume ainsi formulé. Le baume ne contient pas de conservateurs et se conserve donc assez mal (maximum deux ou trois semaines si vous l'utilisez tous les jours en y plongeant les doigts).
Le miel et son pouvoir humectant hors-pair va donner à ce baume un effet occlusif hydratant intense. Le beurre de karité et l'huile de calendula vont apaiser les mains irritées et douloureuse tout en assouplissant la peau des mains. Les huiles essentielles de ciste et de géranium, astringentes, participent à la réparation de la couche cornée abîmée. Le palmarosa favorise le renouvellement cellulaire et parfume le baume de son parfum zen.

With the icy winter upon us, it's our hands that are going to suffer most of all! Snow, wind and cold can lead to dry hands, cracks and frostbite in the worst cases. The skin on our hands is particularly exposed, and wearing gloves isn't always enough.
