1. Use Cream-based Cosmetics on your face (not powder-based). Powder adds texture to skin that already has developed texture.

2. Find a tone of lipstick that matches your inner lip or gums.

3. Don’t recreate the brows you had in your 20s. Women older than 50 tend to lose definition in their eyebrows. Just go with that.

4. Do not wear any eyeshadow at all.Especially no contour in the crease because it gives the appearance of deepening the crease. A little bit of mascara is OK.

5. Tinted Moisturizers don’t work.If you’re going to use a foundation to even out skin tone, find one that gives coverage but doesn’t add texture. Be willing to spend money on a foundation and take your time to experiment and find the exact right shade. Matching your skin tone exactly is critical.

It’s more clear than ever that hand health is akin to overall health. Keeping our skin sanitized and moisturized is key to making sure we’re getting rid of germs and taking care of our natural barrier. Follow these steps every time to ensure your hands stay protected:

Wash hands thoroughly in warm water for at least 20 seconds with a cleansing soap, like our Unscented Hand and Shower Cleansing Gel, or choose the fragrance that brings you the most joy. Don’t forget the spots often missed when washing up, like in between the fingers, at the fingertips, and the backs of hands.

If hand soap or cleanser is not available, go for a hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Our hand sanitizers are made with aloe vera and glycerin built in to offset the drying nature of alcohol. Try the Lavender Lemon Hand Sanitizer for a fresh floral scent, or Peppermint Orange and Clove Hand Sanitizer for an ultra fresh feeling. Rub a nickel-sized amount or a few sprays into the palms, fingers and backs of hands.

Replenish the barrier on our skin that gets demolished by constant washing with a paraben-free, non greasy moisturizing cream. For those who love sweets, we recommend the French Vanilla Glycerin Hand Therapy for a warm, nostalgic scent reminiscent of fresh baked cookies. Try our Glycerin Hand Therapy in our signature scent, Camille, for a more soft, powdered floral scent. Since we use a very low fragrance amount in our production, both are excellent for skin sensitivities.

When we started Camille Beckman, we were focused on perfuming and dry goods. Susan Camille, our Founder, spent the majority of her time with her hands in the dirt, harvesting baby’s breath and crafting in the evening. Her hands and feet were dry, tired and cracking. That’s when she found our Aunt Rose’s Hand Cream formula. Making her own rendition with vegetable glycerin and sweet almond oil, her hands started healing after one use. Better yet, the more she washed them, the more it re-activated on her hands, continuing to moisturize instead of needing constant re-application. Always a creative soul, Susan found she had a great knack for formulating super hydrating formulas with safe, quality ingredients. When customers started using our Glycerine Hand Therapy, they would always come back for more, and soon demanded an entire line of products to be built around our same principles of hydration and restoration. Since then, Camille Beckman has sold over 20 million jars of our Signature Glycerine Hand Therapy, serving repeat customers all over the world who rely on us EVERY SINGLE DAY.

We care about making our products safe and healthy for you—and our planet. That’s why we use no extra packaging, no parabens or phthalates. We also never test our products on animals.
