Women who carefully care for their faces 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 your skin with useful vitamins and minerals, protect against frost and sunlight, and contribute to the fight against 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 in the market. So you protect yourself from a poor-quality product, which often can not only not help, but also harm.
Next, you need to understand why you need hand cream. There are several varieties of it:
- Moisturizing (saturate the skin with moisture, fight dryness).
- Emollients (fight peeling and dryness).
- Protective (protect against environmental influences).
- Decongestants (eliminate swelling).
- Nutritious (saturate the skin with vitamins and minerals).
- Anti-inflammatory (combating allergies, irritation and redness).
These are the main types of creams that will not be difficult to find on sale. Identify the problem that bothers you the most, and then go to the store for a purchase. You can search for the so-called combined creams, the components of which are able to deal with several problems at once.
The choice of cream depends on the time of year. You should be aware that in summer the skin becomes drier, loses a lot of moisture. Therefore, it is most advisable to use
moisturizers. In winter, it can peel off, blush, wind off. An oily cream based on fat will come to her aid. It will well soften the skin, protect it from adverse factors, relieve redness and even heal small wounds.
Please note that the more natural hand cream you can purchase, the better. Mineral oils, which are often used by manufacturers instead of natural ingredients, clog pores, as a result, the skin does not
breathes and loses a healthy look. It is good if the cream contains components such as glycerin (softens and moisturizes), vegetable or animal fats (create a protective film), lanolin (makes the skin soft). Well, of course, the more vitamins and nutrients in the composition, the better.
You probably know that you can make a face cream with your own hands. The same goes for the skin on our delicate and soft handles. For example, take the following simple recipe for yourself: mix 100 g of water, 50 g of honey and add 1 g of borax. The components must be thoroughly mixed, whipped with a mixer if desired. The cream will have a nourishing and softening effect, protect your hands from adverse effects.
And the last one. Hand cream should be chosen by age. For young girls, as a rule, it has a lighter composition, while for older women it contains substances that are designed to combat skin aging.
