Buy a Hand Cream

The skin on the hands is somewhat thinner than on the rest of the body. Constantly exposed to external aggressions, it requires the application of specific moisturizing and regenerating care.

The particularities of hand skin

Like facial skin, the skin on the hands is constantly exposed to external aggressions. Their natural dryness is therefore aggravated by several factors.

Thus, cold, sun, pollution, household products, or even hard water weaken the thin skin of the hands, making them dry and rough.

Moreover, the skin on the hands has few sebaceous glands. Sebum production is therefore reduced, along with the skin's protective role!

If nothing is done to protect your hands, chapping and cracks may appear. Besides their unsightly appearance, these conditions are quite painful. To avoid them, it is necessary to take care of your hands and choose a good hand cream.

Restore comfort by using a hand cream

Hand care creams therefore have two actions: limiting dryness and thus slowing down the aging process. By restoring the hydrolipidic film, they will protect your hands from the various aggressions they face daily and repair the minor conditions that affect them.

To do this, choose creams rich in fatty acids found in vegetable oils such as avocado, sweet almond, or sesame, or in ceramides. For more protection, you can also opt for a cream that includes nail-repairing actives, as nails also particularly suffer from the cold.

Finally, some hand creams combine repairing and moisturizing actives as well as anti-aging or anti-dark spot ingredients.
