Hairstylists are so hard on their hands and feet, but I’ve never heard one complain, have you? At a recent BeautyPress Spotlight Day for Editors, I discovered PARODI Professional Care, a company with products designed by Linda Gilette Parodi.
Lind was a hairdresser who wanted to help other hard-working professionals and others who work with their hands and stand on their feet get through their day with more pleasure and less pain,
If you are on your feet a lot and/or if you work with your hands, what is the best skincare for you? It could be, PARODI
Ingredients:
PARODI Professional Care products include natural ingredients such as mother of pearl (to help skin look more luminous), St. John’s Wort (to balance and maintain moisture), Spilanthes (soothes irritated skin), Arnica, antioxidant, Evening Primrose Oil and Sachi Inchi (an omega oil to help with dry skin).
Exfoliate:
The PARODI Smoothing Exfoliant for Feet smells like vanilla while it exfoliates with both chemical and physical ingredients to soften that “pachyderm” tough skin on your heels. .It is gentle enough to use daily in the shower or bath.
Moisturize:
The PARODI Nourishing Foot Cream soothes after exfoliation and feels rich and soothing. While the cream is hydrating is also does more than that. Massage the cream with shea butter (among other things) into your skin, and keep cracking and callouses at bay.
Soothe Tired Muscles:
Do you have days where all you want to do is kick off your shoes and sit down to relieve tired, aching leg muscles? The Pardoi Profesional Care Comforting Muscle Lotion can help. Ingredients include menthol and camphor, arnica, magnesium oil and evening primrose oil to soothe, calm, relax and make your muscles feel better.
A proprietary ingredient called “HypeauPro” is a blend of natural herbs that also help make skin feel soft and moisturized.
This product is dispensed from a large rollerball in a tube, which is great for travel. It also feels tingly going on your skin like a healthy massage. There is a bit of a strong scent, but it’s part camphor and part herbal, so it also perks up your senses.
For Hands:
There are also two products for hard-working hands to keep them soft and moisturized: Daily Moisturizing Hand Cream and Intensive Moisturizing Hand Cream. These products, by the way, have no parabens, silicones or synthetic fragrances. The 2 oz. flip top tube of hand cream is going to make your hands feel soft and renewed. The Daily Moisturizing Hand Cream I sampled absorbed really quickly leaving my hands feeling silky soft.
Price/Purchase:
PARODI products run anywhere from $14-$40 depending on size and retailer. All products are available to purchase directly at parodicare.com and amazon.com
