We use our hands every day. Some people spend their days typing, while others use them for something more physical. Whatever your hands do all day, it can take its toll on them. Looking after your hands will help to keep them healthy. If you don't care for them, they can end up feeling dry and rough. You can't prevent natural calluses from forming as you use your hands for the same things every day. But you can ensure that your hands are otherwise in good condition. You'll feel healthier and ready to do anything with your hands, whether it's holding someone else's or carrying your shopping.
Keep Your Hands Moisturised
Your hands are often the one part of your body that's most exposed to the elements. They can go through a lot of things, from biting winds to doing the dishes. It's easy for your hands to get dried out and even for your skin to start peeling sometimes. If you always seem to have dry hands, keeping them moisturised isn't hard. However, it might take you a while to find a product you like. You can pick a special hand cream or use a more general moisturiser or lotion. You probably don't want anything too heavy or sticky, or your hands will end up being out of commission for a while.
Protect Your Hands
You also need to protect your hands to stop them from getting dry, red, or cracked in the first place. If you're doing anything with cleaning products or chemicals, it's always best to protect your hands with gloves. Wear gloves when you're out in the cold too, so that the cold air doesn't affect your skin. Your hands also see the sun more than other parts of your body. To avoid sun damage, use sunscreen or another product with a sun protection factor to protect them. It's also a good idea to avoid washing your hands too much, as this can dry them out.
Choose Gentle Products
When you pick products to use on your hands, make sure you choose gentle formulas. It's also important to think about what you use on the rest of your body if you usually apply other products with your hands. If you have sensitive skin, you might benefit from using natural skincare products. They're often more gentle on your skin and more environmentally friendly too.
Take Care of Your Nails
Don't forget to pay attention to your nails, cuticles, and nail beds when you look after your hands. The skin around your nails can become dry or ragged, and your nails can be brittle. Moisturising the skin around your nails helps to keep your cuticles healthy. You can also use products to strengthen your nails and keep them healthy. But remember that your lifestyle can make a difference too. Staying hydrated helps to keep your nails and hands healthy.
Your hands are precious, and you need them every day. Looking after them is just a small part of keeping your body happy and healthy.
