One of the main measures for the prevention of coronavirus is to wash and disinfect hands with antiseptics as often and thoroughly as possible. In previous materials, together with specialists, we said that for disinfection, the alcohol content in antiseptics must be at least 68%. It is an effective anti-virus measure that can make your hands dry and dehydrated, even though most products contain oils and extracts from moisturizing plants.
Protect your hands
Choose cream soap instead of regular soap, wash dishes and clean with gloves - avoid contact with household chemicals. Before a full-fledged spring comes, go outdoors with gloves - it's safer and warmer.
Cleansing
Use mild exfoliating scrubs no more than once a week to enhance the effect of the cream. Before going to bed, soak with chamomile to soften the skin of your hands, or with sea salt, which strengthens nails, adds shine and softens cuticles.
A warm bath with two tablespoons of baking soda and a few drops of iodine will not only moisturize, but also disinfect the skin.
After each hand wash, apply a moisturizer, paying particular attention to the cuticle area.
Spa treatments for hands
If you have already stocked up on masks, patches or spa gloves for your hands, then you are very lucky, as these are one of the most popular items in cosmetic stores right now.
Homemade recipe - Apply a rich nourishing cream, put on disposable gloves, and place your hands in warm water. In 20 minutes, the skin of the hands will be like after the most fashionable salon procedure.
Paraffin therapy is one of the most effective procedures for hand tenderness. During the salon procedure, hands are immersed in warm molten paraffin, due to which the skin temperature rises, blood circulation improves and oxygen flow to the nail plates is stimulated.
Many people do paraffin baths at home or use paraffin cream as a mask that effectively moisturizes and nourishes the skin.
Hand Creams and Oils
Choose nourishing creams that contain glycerin to retain moisture, vitamin E to moisturize the skin, and beeswax or lanolin to create a protective layer. The cream can be renewed every few hours and after hand washing. Do not neglect cuticle and nail oil - it nourishes the skin as much as possible and strengthens the nails. Tea tree oil is a natural antiseptic that helps fight infections and heals the nail plate.
