Whether at work, in the household, or in your free time: your hands are used every day and are often exposed to external influences without protection. Find out here why this part of the body needs special attention and what comprehensive hand care looks like!
That is why hand care is essential
Your hands have few sebaceous glands and minimal fatty tissue. These properties ensure that the lipid film, the skin’s protective barrier, quickly becomes porous. The result: moisture escapes. The tissue dries out and forms wrinkles, becomes sensitive, and cracks. But don’t worry: proper skin care will keep the tissue plump and supple.
The right-hand care: practical tips
Hand care can be so easy – if you follow the following body care tips:
1. Wash properly
You wash your hands several times a day: a care ritual that removes dirt from the skin and at the same time puts strain on it. Because soap and hot water remove moisture and fats. Protect the fabric by washing with lukewarm water and pH-neutral soap or mild washing gel.
2. Apply cream frequently
Apply cream several times a day to maintain the tissue’s protective barrier. To do this, use high-quality hand creams with a sun protection factor and moisturizing ingredients such as jojoba, olive and almond oil, shea butter, urea, and glycerin. Practical: If you massage the product of your choice into your fingertips, you are also caring for your nails, because you are also nourishing and strengthening your fingernails.
3. Use masks and scrubs
A must not only for facial care: peelings loosen dead skin cells and make the tissue more receptive to subsequent care products. Hand masks provide this part of the body with concentrated extra care and are therefore particularly recommended for dry and sensitive skin. Use these special products weekly for comprehensive skin care.
