January 2021 - MUVUCARE

Low temperatures and wind, typical of autumn and winter, together with the continued use of hydroalcoholic gel cause damage to our hands’ skin.

Discover some tips to avoid dry and chapped hands, or even other pathologies such as Raynaud’s Syndrome or chilblains, from getting worse during the winter.

Tips to protect your hands from the cold and show off your healthy skin

Moisturise your hands as often as necessary with a small massage so that the cream penetrates better. You can do this straight after washing your hands or you can apply hydroalcoholic gel to keep them hydrated so that the cream acts for as long as possible.
Don’t use very hot water when washing your hands and use a suitable soap. Your hands should also be dried well, without rubbing too much, concentrating especially between the fingers, to look after the epidermis.
Exfoliating your hands once a week will help keep them in perfect condition. The skin regenerates completely once a month, but due to the dryness of winter this effect can be delayed.
Wear gloves when leaving the home. Gloves protect hands from cold, wind, dryness and sudden changes in temperature. Also, wearing gloves will help you maintain your body temperature much better. We also recommend that you wear gloves when sleeping, just after applying the cream, so that it penetrates your skin better. It is recommended to use gloves that are made with natural and therapeutic fabrics such as MUVU therapeutic gloves, which are soft to the touch and provide skin care benefits.

MUVU Dokos Therapeutic Gloves

MUVU Dokos gloves, recommended for eczema, dermatitis, mycosis and sensitive and delicate skin, thanks to the Regenactiv Textile Technology with which they are made, provide the following protective qualities:

They maintain the moisture balance, isolating the skin from the environment and achieving an optimal condition that favours and improves the skin’s recovery.
It accelerates the healing process of skin lesions by keeping the skin clean, helping the renewal of the epidermis.
It reduces and prevents overheating of the skin and dermal irritation.
Protection against the development of germs, which prevents skin infections.
They can be worn both under work gloves and at night to recover from the stress suffered by the skin during daily activity.

The arrival of winter and low temperatures can cause or worsen pathologies that affect the health of our feet.

As recommended by the Institute of Podiatrists of the Autonomous Community of Valencia (ICOPCV), the feet undergo a series of changes with the onset of age, such as, for example, some alteration in sensitivity, problems in the dermis (peeling, fissures or cracks) and even blood circulation to the extremities can be affected by some pathologies due to the narrowing of the blood vessels, which increases as temperatures start to drop.

All these alterations, which directly affect the health of our feet, well-being and mobility, can appear or worsen as the cold sets in, so it is vitally important to continue with our routine of basic care and the adoption of extra protection measures to maintain and protect the health of our feet.

Basic tips for taking care of your feet during winter

It is not difficult to take a series of measures to protect your feet from the cold and avoid skin conditions or circulatory problems.

The key to ensuring comfort and keeping your feet at a suitable temperature is in your shoes and socks:

Choose shoes that are warm, that have good insulation, and at the same time allow proper perspiration to avoid the accumulation of moisture. Your feet must be perfectly dry and at a comfortable temperature.
Choose socks with natural fabrics that help good perspiration. Be careful with the elastic, it should not be tight or compressed so that it allows proper blood flow.

MUVU socks that protect you from the cold

Thanks to the natural fabric of the MUVU socks, which is made of viscose of vegetable origin and marine particles, the essence of Regenactiv textile technology, they protect and care for your skin against possible erosion and chafing.

In addition, its exclusive Comfort Plus structure, with adaptability stripes, cooling in key areas and a moisture absorption capacity 50% greater than conventional cotton garments, allows the sock to fit like a glove to your skin and let your feet “breathe” while expelling any excess moisture.

Remember that, from our catalogue of therapeutic socks, you will find our range of double density MUVU socks that will give you that feeling of a softer touch that you like to feel on colder days, providing you with more cushioning and comfort with every step.
