Women who carefully care for their face forget that no less care should be given to their hands. They have practically no sebaceous glands that could protect against the negative effects of the environment. That is why you need to use special creams that can saturate the skin of the hands with useful vitamins and trace elements, protect against frost and sunlight, and help fight various skin problems. But how to choose a hand cream so that it is really useful? Let's try to figure it out.
So, first of all, you need to learn the main rule: buy cream only in a cosmetic store or pharmacy and in no case do it on the market. So you protect yourself from a low-quality product, which can often not only not help, but also harm.
Next, you should understand what exactly you need a hand cream for. There are several varieties of it:
- Moisturizing (saturate the skinmoisture, fight dryness).
- Emollient (combats flaking and dryness).
- Protective (protect from environmental influences).
- Decongestants (eliminates swelling).
- Nutritious (saturate the skin with vitamins and trace elements).
- Anti-inflammatory (combats allergies, irritation and redness).
These are the main types of creams that are not difficult to find on sale. Identify the problem that worries you the most and then go shopping. You can look for the so-called combined creams, the components of which are able to deal with several problems at once.
The choice of cream also depends on the season. You should be aware that in summer the skin becomes drier, loses a lot of moisture. Therefore, it is best to use moisturizers. In winter, it can peel off, blush, wind. An oil-based nourishing cream will come to the rescue. It will soften the skin well, protect it from adverse factors, relieve redness and even heal minor wounds.
Please note that the more natural hand cream you can get, the better. Mineral oils, which are very often used by manufacturers instead of natural ingredients, clog pores, as a result, the skin does not
breathes and loses its he althy look. It is good if the cream contains components such as glycerin (softens and moisturizes), vegetable or animal fats (createsprotective film), lanolin (makes the skin soft). And, of course, the more vitamins and nutrients in the composition, the better.
You probably know that you can make your own face cream. The same goes for the skin on our delicate and soft hands. For example, take on board the following simple recipe: mix 100 g of water, 50 g of honey and add 1 g of borax. The components must be mixed well, beat with a mixer if desired. The cream will have a nourishing and softening effect, protect hands from adverse effects.
And last. Hand cream should be selected according to age. For younger girls, it tends to be lighter in composition, while for older women, it contains substances designed to fight skin aging.
