Chapped hands, very damaged hands and cracks, with the drop in temperatures, our hands become more fragile and painful. So, how can you protect your hands from the cold? Here are all tips and tricks from nail supply expert Maryton! Just keep reading!
Wear gloves against the cold
We start with this first tip which makes sense for some, but which can quickly be forgotten: wear gloves! It is the first defense against external aggression.Choose a soft material so as not to irritate the skin of the hands.
Carrying a hand warmer
Constant exposure to ambient air causes permanent hot and cold, between a heated interior and the cold winter air, which weakens the epidermis of the hands. It is better to avoid placing your hands against the radiator or even immersing them in a bath of hot water.
Wash your hands gently
Winter encourages you to wash your hands more frequently to avoid illnesses and viruses. However, the soap and limescale found in water dry out the epidermis and weaken its hydration level. Therefore, it is preferable to use mild soaps and not to wash for more than 30 seconds.
Dry your hands well
Also remember to dry your hands thoroughly after washing them, especially if you go outdoors. Because humidity accelerates skin drying by attracting water and lipids from the lower layers to the upper one. We avoid rough fabrics and favor soft and fluffy towels.
Moisturize your hands regularly
Grandma’s remedy for very dry hands: moisturize! Moisturize your hands regularly using a light cream or shea butter. Both help strengthen the skin’s water barrier, weakened by cold and wind. Also remember to apply oil.
Make a hand mask
You can also take preventive action when you start to feel the appearance of small inflammations or cracks on your hands.
