What’s your nightly ritual? Are your hands cared for in the same way as your face, neck and chest? Are you in need of a nourishing hand repair routine?

Formulated to bring clinic-inspired results into your home, we’ve created a global first: a high-potency hand concentrate with a microneedle designed specifically for the skin on your hands. But, like any treatment protocol, the results rely on the ritual. Here’s our play-by-play of how to apply the Take Back Time Hand Treatment to transform your hand skincare routine.

Why hands need their own routine

Hands are exposed to more daily and environmental stresses than almost any other part of your body – and they lack natural oil to protect them. That's why crepey texture, lost volume and pigmentation tend to show up here first. An overnight hand care routine works with your skin's natural repair cycle while you sleep, instead of trying to fight daytime damage in real time.

The ritual: step by step

Application

We recommend using the hand concentrate daily, and to practice hand microneedling 3 times a week on alternate nights.

Lay your hand flat. Working in small sections on the back of your hand, roll your microneedle back and forth, twice horizontally and twice vertically. Use light, feathering motions, and don’t exert any force or pressure. Take extra care when microneedling prominent veins or bony areas. Avoid microneedling the fingers. Then apply 2 pumps of our concentrate to the back of clean, dry hands and massage until fully absorbed.

Don’t use the same microneedle on your hands and face. Spray the microneedle with the cleaning spray and replace the protective cap after every use. We recommend taking at least a one-month break after every eight weeks of microneedling to give your skin the opportunity to rest and regenerate.
