Attention to cleaning materials: Hand washing and chemicals used in cleaning agents will cause the hands to dry and damage the skin. Take care to wear protective gloves to prevent this.

Use gloves in cold weather: Cold weather and wind constantly cause our hands to dry and crack. You need to protect hands and use gloves when going outside. Especially in winter months, the moisture of the hands decreases rapidly.

Hygiene of all things: Of course, the easiest way to protect yourself from infectious diseases and bacteria is by washing your hands. But after the wash, use the moisturizing cream at least 3 times a day to prevent drying.

It is important to choose the right humidifier! Oil-based moisturizers will be more suitable for moistening hands. Also try fruit acids and vitamin moisturizers to make the skin look more vivid. Your humidifier does not need to be expensive, it is enough to be effective.

Hand massage: When using your humidifier, hands are more effective in moistening by rubbing the nail edges in slow motion.

Take care to protect from the sun: the sun's rays over time will cause stains and freckles to form on your hands and cause your hands to look older. Therefore, you should use sunscreen cream on your hands. Or you can use a humidifier with at least 15 factors. It is also possible to treat the spots with various creams and treatments. Contact your dermatologist for this.

Remove dead cells: massage along with soft movements and a handful of hands on the back of the hand. This process removes dead cells, accelerates blood circulation and causes the hand skin to appear more alive.

Do not skip nail care: Quotes are the most important part of the hands. Nail and nail edges are also affected by dryness. For this reason, it is necessary to moisten the nails and nail edges by massaging them. Note that nail polish remains on the nail for a long time and the use of acetone leads to yellowing of the nails.

Lemon juice to the nails : We massage the nails with lemon juice so that the fruit acids can maintain the brightness of the nails. In addition, the daily supplementation of 2.5 mg biotin has been shown to make the nails stronger and healthier.
