Care for Your Hands along with Diligent Handwashing! Get Young and Model-like Hands In 4 Steps

If you are a beauty lover, remember to pay attention to not only your facial skin but also your hands, since dry and cracked hands can expose your age! As we become diligent in washing our hands during the pandemic, frequent contact with hand sanitisers coupled with the dry and cold weather in autumn and winter lead to huge moisture loss in our skin. Our hands therefore become dry and rough and even experience sensitivity and discomfort. To combat the inevitable skin damage, we can only use more hand cream and follow the steps below to keep our hands young and smooth!

Step 1: Moisturise your body from the inside out

As modern women often stay in air-conditioned places and the humidity is also low in autumn and winter, these accelerate moisture loss in hand skin. Apart from applying moisturising hand cream, women should also drink more water to maintain sufficient moisture in their bodies. You can also place a cup of water or a wet towel in your office or room to increase the humidity.


Step 2: Do not neglect sun protection for your hands

As your hands are not covered by clothing, they are particularly vulnerable to direct exposure to UV light. Excessive sun exposure will lead to dull skin and dark spots, and even elasticity loss resulting in loose and ageing hand skin. Therefore, you should apply sunscreen on your hands before walking on the street or engaging in outdoor activities. You should also use hand cream with a repairing formula and ingredients that brighten dull skin.


Step 3: Use mild cleansing products and apply hand cream often

When you use alcohol-based sanitisers or soap to wash your hands every day, excessive contact with chemical substances will damage the protective barrier of the skin, leading to dry and sensitive hands. You should therefore choose hand soap or sanitisers with mild ingredients and avoid washing your hands with hot water to prevent stripping more oils from your skin and worsening the dryness. Remember to apply hand cream afterwards to moisturise and nourish your hand.

Step 4: Massage your hands to relieve tension

Apart from skin damage, the overuse of hands can also lead to elasticity loss! For example, tension of the hands triggered by doing housework and using smartphones for a long time can cause dry and rough skin. A daily hand care routine is therefore necessary. When you apply hand cream, you can massage your hands for five minutes to relieve tension and help your skin absorb nutrients. The massaging steps are simple: squeeze some hand cream on the centre of your palm, and rub with your thumb in a large circular motion. Then, gently pinch and pull your fingers and finish off by stretching your wrists.


How should I choose a hand cream?

There are various kinds of hand creams on the market with functions of moisturising, balancing skin conditions, and soothing sensitive skin. We can choose hand creams with nourishing ingredients including vitamins B and E, plant essence or fruit oil. Remember to look for possible allergens in the product to safeguard your skin health.
