Life can be stressful. Juggling work, friends, family and navigating a global pandemic.

Stress can strike at any time and for a whole host of different reasons: poor sleep, a busy work or home life, or the not-to-be-mentioned ‘C-word’ and the effects of an ongoing global pandemic.

A survey was carried out by the Department of Work and Employment Studies, reveals that 60% of employees in Ireland are feeling more stressed since the onset of Covid-19, with 67% of women reporting increased levels of stress compared with 45% of men.

We think it’s time to face stress head on. With that in mind, we’d like to introduce you to our new Stress Check™ collection – a targeted range of vegan skincare and lifestyle solutions to help reduce the effects of stress on skin, body and mind. As always at This Works, we have used 100% natural essential oils – including Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Camomile, Neroli, Vetivert and Patchouli, all known for their mood-soothing properties. Additionally, in an independent fMRI brain imaging study Ylang Ylang was shown to have potential to reduce stress.Our products have been submitted to a number of clinical and user trials to ensure that they truly deliver on the promise ‘This Works’.

Meet your ultimate toolkit for the stresses of modern life and get ready to choose your solution.

Travel friendly, to use throughout the day. A multitasking, anti-bacterial hand gel combining 70% Alcohol and 100% natural essential oils of Lavender, Neroli and Camomile with Hyaluronic Acid to clean, protect and hydrate hands without the need to rinse.The high level of Alcohol can sometimes create a little rolling (this is when you first start rubbing the product in and it feels like there are small particles forming). This is perfectly safe, normal (it is the product, not your skin) and does not affect the efficacy of the hand gel. Simply continue to massage in and the rolling will disappear, leaving your hands safe and clean.
