The best tips for your hand care
What contains good hand cream?
Mainly moisturizing factors are important for good hand care: These include glycerin and the urea urea, a natural component of our skin. Urea creams help with very dry hands. What binds moisture in the skin also increases its elasticity. Olive oil and shea butter from the nuts of an African tree provide fatty acids that soothe and regenerate.
With gloves in bed?
Care in your sleep - great if you have not done anything for a long time. Special gloves "soaked" with nourishing substances provide the hands overnight. Sometimes it can be that easy. (For example, "Hand Filler" by Filorga)
Day and night cream - where is the difference?
Fast-absorbing creams and sunscreens are important during the day and there is plenty of time for extensive care at night. As important as the difference between day and night is the heat and cold. Use a more fatty cream in winter than in summer.
Paraffin bath - what's up?
Great for quick, short-term effects: The previously disinfected, peeled hands dive in about 80 degrees hot XL gloves that are thick with paraffin impregnated, or directly into the paraffin bath - hygienically safe, because the wax is so hot.
Hand peeling - what for?
It removes dry skin cells and prepares for care - good for brittle skin. Then cream it thickly!
Does it also do a body lotion?
No. No body part is washed as often as the hands - so they also need special attention. That means: a balanced mixture of fats and moisture binders. So that the glass does not slip out of hand and there are no stains on the paper.
Hard hand use
If you are sensitive, you prefer to work in the household and garden with gloves! In "wet work", the nails swell, the skin dries out, which can give a so-called housewife eczema. After washing hands cream. Special garden soap cleans thoroughly by gently exfoliating.
After onion cutting?
Odors are fleeting. Actually, enough water for washing. If you want to get rid of garlic and fish vapor very quickly, you will find odor-neutralizing soaps.
New in anti-aging
Anti-aging has finally arrived in the hands care. Special anti-aging agents such as certain peptides or Q10 are said to stimulate collagen formation and cell regeneration.
No age spots
Dermatologists prefer to call them sunspots; after all, UV rays are their cause. The best protection is therefore precaution: hand cream with sun protection factor or sunscreen cream.
Lasers or pigment creams?
Already existing spots can be lightened with a lot of patience. There are creams and serums that can alleviate pigmentation marks, for example with high-dose vitamin C and plant extracts. The most radical effect of lasers. But this has to be repeated every three to five years. And after lasering, a very high sun protection factor (from SPF 40) must always be applied.
