Our hands are constantly exposed to washing, weather, household products and everyday life. And as we age, they can become drier and begin to show changes in texture and appearance.

That’s why one of my favourite ways to introduce women to skincare is something I call my Instant Hand Facial.

It takes only about five minutes, you can see and feel the difference right away, and best of all—you can compare one hand with the other.

Why Give Your Hands a Facial?

Think about everything we do for our faces.

We cleanse. We exfoliate. We hydrate. We use targeted skincare products. We moisturize.

Yet our hands often get nothing more than a little hand cream.

During my Instant Hand Facial, we treat one hand much like we would treat the skin on our face. It is a simple way to experience several skincare steps without committing to a complete facial or makeover.

And the one-hand comparison is part of the fun.

When we’re finished, I ask you to put your hands side by side and look at them, and then feel them.

Women are often surprised by the difference.

Step 1: Exfoliate

We begin with Facial Resurfacer, which uses volcanic ash from the South Pacific islands of Vanuatu to help buff away dead surface skin.

Exfoliation can help the skin feel smoother and allows the products that follow to apply beautifully.

And yes, we’re using a facial resurfacer on the hand. That’s why I call this a Hand Facial!

Step 2: Hydrate

Next comes one of the products that has been a longtime favourite of mine: Climate Control.

This lightweight hydrating treatment helps replenish moisture and leaves the skin feeling refreshed and hydrated.

It’s one of those products where I love letting people feel the difference for themselves rather than simply telling them about it.

Step 3: Add Antioxidant Skincare

Next, we apply SeneSerum-C®, a vitamin C serum that helps support brighter, more radiant-looking skin while providing antioxidant skincare benefits.

Our hands are exposed to environmental stressors every day, which is another reason I love including this step.

Step 4: Moisturize

Finally, we seal everything in with moisturizer.

The result?

A hand that feels soft, smooth, hydrated and beautifully cared for.

Now comes my favourite part.

Compare Your Hands!

Put the treated hand beside the untreated hand.

Look at them.

Feel them.

Notice the texture, softness and overall appearance.

That’s the magic of doing the experience on one hand only—you become your own before-and-after comparison.

Why I Love the Instant Hand Facial

For me, this experience isn’t really about hands.

It’s about giving someone a chance to experience good skincare for herself.

I can talk all day about exfoliation, hydration, serums and moisturizers, but sometimes five minutes of actually feeling products on your skin tells you far more than I ever could.

It’s also a wonderful introduction for someone who has been thinking:

“I know I should take better care of my skin, but I don’t know where to start.”

You don’t have to start with ten products.

You can start by learning what your skin needs and experiencing how the right skincare feels.

Want to Experience an Instant Hand Facial?

If you see me at a Be Ageless Beauty Bar, Ladies Night, workshop or community event, come over and ask for an Instant Hand Facial.

It takes about five minutes, and you might be surprised by what you notice when you compare your two hands.

And if you’re wondering what skincare would be right for your skin, I’d be happy to help you figure out where to start.

Because beautiful skincare doesn’t have to be complicated—and it’s never too late to start caring for the skin you’re in.
