You are constantly in motion, gloved, masked, and hyper-vigilant. The scrubs, the gear, and the sheer pace of a healthcare environment take a physical toll on your body—especially the areas that bear the brunt of your work: your hands, face, and feet.
Your aftercare should be as diligent as your charting! Here are three focused, non-toxic aftercare "prescriptions" using the clean, plant-based products you need to restore balance.
Prescription 1: Hands That Heal (Beyond the Barrier)
Your hands are constantly stripped by washing and sanitizing. They need concentrated, pure repair—not synthetic fillers.
-
The Diagnosis: Severe dryness, cracking, and irritation from alcohol-based sanitizers.
-
The Protocol: Apply a thick, natural balm or hand cream from our BODY LINE and let it work overnight. Look for natural butters and oils that genuinely penetrate and heal, avoiding petroleum-based products.
-
Recommendation: Focus on a rich, natural lotion from the BODY LINE to apply nightly. Consider a SETS & BUNDLES collection to stock up for home and your locker.
Prescription 2: The Face Mask Recovery
Prolonged PPE wear leads to breakouts, chafing, and general facial inflammation. This demands a gentle, natural detox and a lot of soothing.
-
The Diagnosis: Maskne, redness, congestion, and irritation.
-
The Protocol: Use a simple, non-stripping skincare routine. We highly recommend a weekly deep cleanse using the Detox Mask from our FACE LINE to draw out impurities without aggressive drying. Follow immediately with a lightweight moisturizer.
-
The Ritual: Dedicate 15 minutes to this repair on your first day off. The natural ingredients will soothe the inflammation caused by the friction and heat of prolonged mask wear.
Prescription 3: The Ultimate Foot & Leg Soak
You spend hours on your feet, battling gravity and fatigue. The best aftercare for a weary body starts from the ground up.
-
The Diagnosis: Swollen ankles, aching arches, and heavy-feeling calves.
-
The Protocol: A hot soak with natural salts and targeted essential oils is the fastest way to reduce inflammation and relax muscle fibers.
-
Recommendation: Create an Aftercare Foot Soak using salts from our WELLNESS LINE (like Detox Bath Salts). Add a few drops of invigorating Peppermint or Eucalyptus from the ESSENTIAL OILS collection for natural circulation and cooling.
