Girls who take care of their hands so carefully take care of their skin and nails, of course, more than once wondered: how to preserve the beauty of their graceful fingers, while remaining a good mistress? After all, it is impossible to have a magnificent manicure and shiny plumbing at the same time. Each girl knows perfectly well what destructive effect the skin covers a variety of gels, powders and other chemical household cleaners. And no matter how much the manufacturers boast of the quality of their products, that the composition of the banal cleaning liquid includes the magical “restoring, caring and softening” hands chamomile extract (calendula, mint, cornflower, volcano ash, etc.), everyone knows: even just washing the dishes should be wearing gloves. Let's figure it out.
Gloves and mittens
It turns out that you can be both a good housewife and a well-groomed woman with beautiful, soft and delicate hands - for this you just need to use hand protection. Here gloves and mittens come to our aid.
They are different: tight-fitting or loose, for dyeing hair or for cleaning the toilet, made of rubber, polyethylene, fabric or latex. There are even hand mask gloves soaked in a mixture of glycerin and cucumber juice or rose water. Which ones to choose?
First you need to figure out for what purpose you are going to acquire hand protection. Long loose gloves made of thick rubber are suitable for women who perform a large amount of work - they wash the floor and dishes after receiving a large number of guests. These gloves are convenient in that they are suitable for reusable use.
Short gloves will come in handy when tidying up plumbing, especially if it is very dirty. The thick rubber of which they are made will not constrain movements and will prevent contact with harmful chemicals.
In the garden
Hand protection from ordinary and rubberized fabric 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 are useful to you, for example, in order to transplant indoor plants into a pot. Ordinary rubber or latex gloves are not suitable here: pebbles falling into the ground easily tear them.
But latex hand protection products will become your indispensable helpers in those cases when, for example, you and your girlfriend decided to organize a small beauty salon at home and experiment with hair color. Everyone knows what ammonia contained in hair dye has a negative effect on the skin. Yes, and you probably want to paint curls, and not hands at all. Of course, any self-respecting manufacturer puts plastic gloves in a paint box, but it is better to purchase latex gloves - they are reusable and can be useful in the future.
Bacteria say no!
These same gloves are also well suited for processing meat: doctors warn that meat can be infected with a wide variety of bacteria, such as trichinosis, salmonellosis, and brucellosis. Once in your bloodstream through a tiny wound, such bacteria can cause illness, so personal protective equipment for your hands is necessary even in the kitchen.
Soap and Balm
After using gloves and other personal protective equipment for hands, of course, I want to clean my 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 tool for washing hands. Any store will provide you with a whole range of soaps in a variety of consistencies: from a solid alkaline bar to a gentle gel cream. The choice is yours.
Attention should be paid only to the fact that after working with raw meat it is worth choosing an antibacterial soap, after a detergent - emollient, moisturizing, after coloring 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.
