Hand contact dermatitis is the second most commonly reported occupation skin disease in women. As a hairdresser, your hands are constantly exposed to irritating hair salon products, bleach, prolonged glove wearing and frequent water use.

It’s easy to put your clients first, but don’t forget to treat yourself. Ensure the longevity of your career and health of your skin by using a protectant. “Four out of five hairdressers worldwide experience work-related skin irritations on their hands, which are their most important professional tools,” says George Frantzis, co-founder and managing director of KALLISTA, makers of Daily Moisturizing Cream for Creative Hands.
