Why should you use hand cream?
Let’s take a look at Why should you use hand cream?
Why should you use hand cream? Most of you wouldn’t wash your face without applying moisturiser afterwards, but many wash their hands and don’t follow this with hand cream. We too often leave our hands defenceless to the environment and bad weather conditions. Our hands are used so much during work, at home and in the garden that you we must protect them. Another good reason to apply your hand cream is that our hands are often the first place on our bodies to show the signs of ageing.
The skin on the back of your hands is different to the skin on your palms, the skin on top is much thinner and has less sebaceous glands, meaning it can become dry very quickly. The skin on your palms is a lot thicker so for moisture to penetrate this area a hand cream needs to be rich and full of moisture binding ingredients.
Hand creams are usually quite different to body creams as the hands require a different type of care. Our hands need be protected not just feel good as they are exposed most of the time. Using a daily hand cream that contains an SPF is a must and even more so during summer. A cream that sinks in quickly means it can be used throughout the day. Go for something richer that uses more specific ingredients, such as an anti-aging or skin lightening product at night time. For a more intensive treatment, after you have covered your hands in the product, put on a pair of gloves. They will help to lock moisture into the hands and prevent the product from being rubbed off, allowing it to sink in effectively. Wait around 15 minutes, then remove the gloves and you will instantly feel the difference in your skin.
Hand creams are much more advanced now and can treat a variety of skin conditions that require more than just hydration. Whether you want to fade age spots, tighten loose skin or soothe excessive dryness, there is a hand cream for you. Make sure you look out for ingredients like Vitamin E, Shea Butter, essential oils and Glycerin which will add much needed moisture to your skin. If you want anti-aging properties, look out for antioxidants and AHAs, as these will help boost collagen, which plumps the skin.
Hands can suffer as they are exposed to water, chemicals and severe temperatures. Water is naturally drying for the skin, so even washing up without wearing gloves can cause more harm than good. Hands can become dry, cracked and painful. So protect your hands whenever you can.
Why should you use hand cream? I think you may be a bit clearer on this now.
