Girls who treat their hands so carefully, take care of their skin and nails so carefully, of course, have often wondered: how to preserve the beauty of their graceful fingers, while remaining a good housewife? After all, it is impossible to have a magnificent manicure and shining white plumbing at the same time. Every girl knows perfectly well what a detrimental effect a variety of gels, powders and other chemical household cleaners bring to the skin. And no matter how much manufacturers brag about the quality of their products, that the composition of a banal cleaning liquid includes a magical “restoring, caring and softening” chamomile extract (calendula, mint, cornflower, volcano ash, etc.), everyone knows perfectly well: even just wash dishes should be wearing gloves. Let's find out.
Gloves and mittens
It turns out that you can be both a good housewife and a well-groomed woman with beautiful, soft and gentle hands - for this you just need to use hand protection. This is where gloves and mittens come to the rescue.
Theythere are different: tight-fitting or loose, for dyeing hair or for cleaning the toilet, made of rubber, polyethylene, fabric or latex. There are even gloves-masks for hands, impregnated with the composition of glycerin and cucumber juice or rose water. Which one to choose?
First you need to figure out for what purpose you are going to buy hand protection. Long loose thick rubber gloves are suitable for women who do a lot of work - wash the floor and dishes after receiving a large number of guests. These gloves are convenient because they are reusable. Short gloves are useful when cleaning plumbing, especially when it is very dirty. The thick rubber they are made of will allow you to move freely and prevent contact with harmful chemicals.
In the garden and vegetable garden
Regular and rubberized fabric hand protection is usually used when working with the ground - in the country or in the garden. But even if you do not have your own plot, such gloves will be useful to you, for example, in order to transplant indoor plants into a pot. Ordinary rubber or latex gloves are not suitable here: stones falling in the ground easily tear them.
But latex hand protection will become your indispensable assistants in those cases when, for example, you and your friend decide to organize a small beauty salon at home and experiment with hair color. Everyone knows what a negative effect on the skin has ammonia contained in the paint forhair. Yes, and you probably want to color the curls, and not the hands at all. Of course, any self-respecting manufacturer puts polyethylene gloves in a paint box, but it would be better to purchase latex gloves - they are reusable and may come in handy in the future.
Say no to bacteria
The same gloves are also good for processing meat: doctors warn that meat can be infected with a variety of bacteria, such as trichinosis, salmonellosis, brucellosis. Bacteria like this can get into your bloodstream through a tiny wound and cause illness, so personal protective equipment for hands is essential even in the kitchen.
Soap and balm
After using gloves and other personal protective equipment, of course, I want to clean the skin, because the palms, being in prolonged contact with the materials from which the gloves are made, sweat. And here you need to choose the right handwash. Any store will provide you with a whole range of soaps in a variety of consistencies: from a hard alkaline bar to a gentle cream-gel. The choice is yours.
Attention should only be paid to the fact that after working with raw meat, you should choose an antibacterial soap, after a detergent - emollient, moisturizing, after coloring your hair - something nutritious. And in the end, you can use some of your favorite cream or balm - and the skin of your hands will be clean and radiant.
