Tips for taking care of your hands in winter

Low temperatures and wind, typical of autumn and winter, together with the continued use of hydroalcoholic gel cause damage to our hands’ skin.

Discover some tips to avoid dry and chapped hands, or even other pathologies such as Raynaud’s Syndrome or chilblains, from getting worse during the winter.

Tips to protect your hands from the cold and show off your healthy skin

  • Moisturise your hands as often as necessary with a small massage so that the cream penetrates better. You can do this straight after washing your hands or you can apply hydroalcoholic gel to keep them hydrated so that the cream acts for as long as possible.
  • Don’t use very hot water when washing your hands and use a suitable soap. Your hands should also be dried well, without rubbing too much, concentrating especially between the fingers, to look after the epidermis.
  • Exfoliating your hands once a week will help keep them in perfect condition. The skin regenerates completely once a month, but due to the dryness of winter this effect can be delayed.
  • Wear gloves when leaving the home. Gloves protect hands from cold, wind, dryness and sudden changes in temperature. Also, wearing gloves will help you maintain your body temperature much better. We also recommend that you wear gloves when sleeping, just after applying the cream, so that it penetrates your skin better. It is recommended to use gloves that are made with natural and therapeutic fabrics such as MUVU therapeutic gloves, which are soft to the touch and provide skin care benefits.

MUVU Dokos Therapeutic Gloves

MUVU Dokos gloves, recommended for eczema, dermatitis, mycosis and sensitive and delicate skin, thanks to the Regenactiv Textile Technology with which they are made, provide the following protective qualities:

  • They maintain the moisture balance, isolating the skin from the environment and achieving an optimal condition that favours and improves the skin’s recovery.
  • It accelerates the healing process of skin lesions by keeping the skin clean, helping the renewal of the epidermis.
  • It reduces and prevents overheating of the skin and dermal irritation.
  • Protection against the development of germs, which prevents skin infections.
  • They can be worn both under work gloves and at night to recover from the stress suffered by the skin during daily activity.

Protect your feet from the cold and maintain their health with MUVU

The arrival of winter and low temperatures can cause or worsen pathologies that affect the health of our feet.

As recommended by the Institute of Podiatrists of the Autonomous Community of Valencia (ICOPCV), the feet undergo a series of changes with the onset of age, such as, for example, some alteration in sensitivity, problems in the dermis (peeling, fissures or cracks) and even blood circulation to the extremities can be affected by some pathologies due to the narrowing of the blood vessels, which increases as temperatures start to drop.

All these alterations, which directly affect the health of our feet, well-being and mobility, can appear or worsen as the cold sets in, so it is vitally important to continue with our routine of basic care and the adoption of extra protection measures to maintain and protect the health of our feet.

Basic tips for taking care of your feet during winter

It is not difficult to take a series of measures to protect your feet from the cold and avoid skin conditions or circulatory problems.

The key to ensuring comfort and keeping your feet at a suitable temperature is in your shoes and socks:

  • Choose shoes that are warm, that have good insulation, and at the same time allow proper perspiration to avoid the accumulation of moisture. Your feet must be perfectly dry and at a comfortable temperature.
  • Choose socks with natural fabrics that help good perspiration. Be careful with the elastic, it should not be tight or compressed so that it allows proper blood flow.

MUVU socks that protect you from the cold

Thanks to the natural fabric of the MUVU socks, which is made of viscose of vegetable origin and marine particles, the essence of Regenactiv textile technology, they protect and care for your skin against possible erosion and chafing.

In addition, its exclusive Comfort Plus structure, with adaptability stripes, cooling in key areas and a moisture absorption capacity 50% greater than conventional cotton garments, allows the sock to fit like a glove to your skin and let your feet “breathe” while expelling any excess moisture.

Remember that, from our catalogue of therapeutic socks, you will find our range of double density MUVU socks that will give you that feeling of a softer touch that you like to feel on colder days, providing you with more cushioning and comfort with every step.

Find your MUVU socks in the Official People Sapiens Online Store.

Textile technology Regenactiv®, a pioneering research project in Spain

The textile technology Regenactiv® provides the first generation of MUVU products with their protective properties of the skin. From its beginnings, this technology has been supported by many national R&D projects, until it was implemented as the first technology linked to the MUVU laboratories.

Throughout the development process, the research project of these fabrics was included within the Technological Research and Development Programme 2008 and 2009. This programme was promoted by the Institute for Small and Medium Sized Valencian Companies, with the European Funds of Regional Development, reaffirming the innovative nature of the project and the Regenactiv® technology aims.

In this sense, the incorporation of the research project within these funds is a guarantee of the procedures, the standards and the work of the different lines of action of this project.
Regenactiv®

Regenactiv® is a revolutionary textile technology based on natural polymers of marine origin. This raw material is biodegradable, biocompatible and non-toxic.

At the same time, it provides a velvet touch and does not irritate skin. It is specifically designed for sensitive skin, such as that of babies and other cases of extremely sensitive skins.

The first line of work of the company presented to the public is a collection of 4 models of socks and an ankle brace as the Healthcare products Class I non sterile.

The origins of Muvu, the textile technology which cares and protects your skin

MLS Textiles 1992, S.L. is a leader textile company in innovation and development of new fabrics. It is located at the south of the Valencia province. This enterprise is an expert in the sector and offers two great product lines with common aims: the protection and care of the skin and the excellence in the manufacturing process in order to differentiate from other companies.

The sporting line of high performance products was the first one developed from the origin. This collection offers a wide range of garments, socks and accessories which help to deal with the most common health problems of sportsmen and sportswomen (excessive sweating, body odour, skin irritation, wounds, blisters, cutaneous fungal infections…).

The origin of the medical division: Regenactiv

The work of the development team, together with a strong connection with technological textile institutes and university research groups, have produced two different threads. If both of them are used to create technical garments, they can provide excellent properties with exceptional results for users.

The first thread used already in other products was the silver-ionised polyamide. Since ancient times, the silver is known for its antimicrobial properties which act on bacteria and fungi. The other thread was a completely new discovery: the use of the Viscose CH in textile production. This thread was chosen because of its protective properties for the skin:

High antimicrobial activity which avoids the spread of fungi and bacteria on the skin and the body’s own tissues
Hemostatic capacity
Absorption of humidity and/or aqueous fluids of the tissues

All such properties were applied directly to the threads, and this is why they do not lose their protective properties over time or washing.

It was believed that if both threads were joined together, we would get a greater potential regarding the protection of the skin against fungi and bacteria. Thus, since we are experts in textile technology, we started the different researches and the development of the product. Then, the most difficult task was to maintain the product. But once it was finished and thanks to the collaboration of AITEX (Textile technological Institute), different trials were conducted in order to know how far the capacity of this new project could arrive.

The outcome was satisfactory and successful, and provided extraordinary results in different bacterial tests. We were focused on the search of the skin care, so other different tests were carried out to verify the skin irritation of the product and its absorption capacity.

The result was a revolutionary weaving called Regenactiv®, targeted on the medical sector because of its performance regarding the skin care and protection. This textile technology maintains the skin in optimal condition and aseptic in order to accelerate the recovery process by itself and to regenerate easily.

Another difficulty about this textile technology was to bring it to the market. This is why Muvu was born: a company of textile innovation and keen on offering the world different revolutionary weavings which help to protect and care the skin health.

This new health brand is based in the use of textile raw materials of natural origin and the latest technologies developed by the constant R&D&I of the company.

Muvu creates revolutionary weavings that care and protect the skin, keeping it cleared and healthy and restoring its natural protective barrier to fight against external factors that damage the skin.

Muvu and Mls work together and diversify their products to create new lines which offer a complete skin care. Both companies have created a solid base and started from the foot care to build a complete product line which includes future projects related with the intimate care, the body care or the special care of the younger kids. Thus, they are creating different garments that protect against damages and infections, keeping our skin clean and healthy, by restoring its protective barrier to fight against external factors that constantly damage the skin.
