7 COMMON BODY CARE QUESTIONS
1
WHY SHOULD I APPLY MOISTURISER DAILY?
Our skin is subject to different influences every day - it dries out fast after showering and environmental influences place a strain on it. Therefore, it’s important that you
moisturise
your skin. All skincare products from
NIVEA Body
as well as
NIVEA Soft
and
NIVEA Creme
provide your skin with intensive nourishing and moisturising ingredients.
2
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE A HAND MOISTURISER?
How often you moisturise your hands with a cream depends on the stresses they receive and your own individual moisturising needs. Simply moisturise your hands regularly to keep them soft and supple. If you suffer from dry hands, try our
NIVEA Intensive Nourishing Hand Cream
with
Vitamin B5
and Macadamia Nut Oil to soothe dry skin.
3
WHY DO HANDS NEED A SPECIAL MOISTURISING PRODUCT?
Our hands are subject to different environmental influences, detergents and washing every day. Since we are constantly in motion, a hand cream should not only moisturise, but also be absorbed quickly. Our
nourishing hand cream
absorbs almost instantly leaving hands soft and fresh, without feeling sticky.
4
ARE NIVEA BODY PRODUCTS ALSO SUITABLE FOR THE FACE?
NIVEA have a wide range of
face care
products for different skin needs that we’d advise you to use.
5
IS TOO MUCH SHOWERING OR BATHING HARMFUL TO MY SKIN?
Developed by experts, all NIVEA body cleansing products contain a special combination of ingredients to give the skin a caring sensation and help to protect your skin from moisture loss. Showering or bathing is not damaging for the skin. However, depending on the skin type, skin quality and temperature of the water, dermatologists often recommend not showering or bathing more than twice a day in order to preserve the skin’s own balance.
Sensitive
and
dry skin
types should also pay attention to their skin reaction in order to set their personal shower and bath limit.
6
CAN I USE A NIVEA BODY CLEANSING PRODUCT FOR MY HAIR?
Yes, generally NIVEA shower products can be used for your hair as well, e.g.
NIVEA MEN
shower products are positioned to cleanse the body, face and hair. Here, the good performance on hair is approved in product-in-use tests by men. However, all our NIVEA body cleansing products are primarily developed to meet the requirements of your skin.
7
WHY DO BARS OF SOAP DEVELOP CRACKS?
Unfortunately this problem can occur more or less in any bar of soap after long-term use. These cracks form when the bar of soap is wet then subjected to long dry periods without regular use.
