Winter months are a real challenge for our skin, especially the delicate hands. Cold air, strong winds, and dry indoor heating make the skin rough, cracked, and irritated. That’s why it’s so important to take proper care and protection of our hands during this period. At Easy Nails, we understand how important healthy and beautiful hands are, so we want to share our tips with you.
Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!
The key to combating skin dryness is regular moisturizing. Use hand creams and lotions containing natural nourishing ingredients such as shea butter, coconut oil, or avocado oil. These products deeply nourish the skin, restoring its softness and elasticity. It’s worth having a small container of cream with you and applying it several times a day, especially after each hand wash. In addition to regular use of creams and lotions, it is equally important to support the rebuilding of the natural hydrolipid barrier of the skin on the hands. This invisible protective layer, composed of water and lipids, protects the skin from moisture loss and the harmful effects of external factors such as detergents or cold air. To strengthen it, it’s worth choosing products enriched with ceramides, lipids, or panthenol, which help rebuild this barrier and increase the skin’s resistance to dryness. Regular care with such ingredients will not only moisturize the hands but also provide them with long-lasting protection and a healthy appearance.
Let’s remember to rub cream into the cuticles around the nails. This often neglected part of the hands can lead to painful inflammations and infections if dry and cracked. We recommend a cream with shea butter and grape seed oil – it moisturizes and regenerates excellently.
Exfoliation and peeling
To enable better absorption of moisturizing products, it’s worth doing a gentle hand peeling once a week. We can use ready-made peels from the drugstore or make our own by mixing sugar with olive oil. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells, making the skin firm and smooth.
Protection against frost
When going outside, remember to cover your hands with warm gloves. Avoid prolonged exposure to cold, as it can lead to cracking and irritation of the skin. If possible, wear gloves even during short walks.
Hand massage
A relaxing hand massage not only improves blood circulation but also facilitates the absorption of moisturizing cosmetics. We can do it ourselves or ask a partner for help. Gentle rubbing and massaging of the hands provide immediate relief for dry and tense skin.
Let’s remember that healthy and well-groomed hands are a person’s calling card. That’s why at Easy Nails, we strive to ensure that our manicure and pedicure services are carried out with the utmost care, using the best products and techniques. We invite you to our salons, where our specialists will gladly advise you on the proper care of your hands.
