Hi! I know what you girls search for on the Internet lately. I know the treatments you look for and what skincare routine is the number one right now. You do not have to be a prophet to know that the constant disinfection makes your hands scream for help. How to take care of them so that they are smooth and do not look parched?
Dry hands regeneration – exfoliation, first
It is the skincare step that is the most relevant because it removes old and calloused epidermis; this step is about getting rid of the old skin and showing the new and smooth skin.
If until now you have not done hand exfoliation because you thought it cannot help, let me convince you otherwise. The exfoliator not only smoothes out hands but also helps nutrients get to the deeper layers of the skin, so take this chance. Obviously, you can get a drugstore exfoliator that is recommended for the treatment. However, remember that the DIY exfoliator works equally well. Sugar, salt, or oat flakes are natural components for hand scrub.
How to make a DIY exfoliator?
- Wash and wet the hands.
- Apply oat flakes/salt/sugar mixed with natural oil (argan, almond, jojoba) or olive oil.
- Perform a gentle massage as if you would wash your hands. Remember about the cuticles around the nails.
Regenerative mask – beautiful hands after the winter
Another step towards beautiful and smooth hands is a hand mask. It is what you should do right after the exfoliator because it delivers hands with regenerating substances. Thanks to the masl, hands will gain glow, healthy color and skin will be soft and supple. Hand masks brighten the skin and if you suffer constantly dry skin, the tightness will be eliminated as well.
You can choose out of many variants – both in cream and gel. I love drugstore hand masks because those contain delicate acids that perfectly revitalize and brighten the epidermis. The best ones are in the form of gloves. I apply them overnight and in the morning remove the excess product, the effect can be seen right away! In the composition of those products, you can find jojoba oil, avocado oil, shea butter, primrose oil, or honey.
Paraffin treatment for the hands – regeneration after the winter
If you look for a way to protect your hands against damage, then you should try paraffin treatment for hands. In spite of the fact that it holds no moisturizing properties. The paraffin creates a protective shield on the surface of the skin that prevents water loss. However, remember that the skin needs to be properly moisturized before the treatment. Paraffin bath improves blood circulation strengthens nails and – what really matters to some – it brightens the hyperpigmentations.
Hand cream – hand care after the winter
You obviously know that the base for hand care is a good hand cream. Without it, you cannot take care of your hands well enough.
Remember that the reason for poor hand condition is always connected with the lack of hand cream. Hands should be treated to some cream often, so just make it your habit. Use hand creams that are natural, contain oils, types of cosmetic butter, or herbal extracts with brightening and smoothing action.
It is great when there are vitamins, hyaluronic acid, collagen, flaxseed extract, honey, or aloe in your cream.
