I don’t think anyone could’ve predicted how important washing our hands would become in these modern times. Yet, here we are, religiously washing our hands to keep ourselves and others safe from virus and disease. So, while we are at it, it’s important to be knowledgeable about what you are putting your hands through. Keeping our hands clean, hydrated, soft and also healthy at the same time can be a tricky task, but it is imperative to find that balance in order to keep your hands in good condition. We’ve compiled a few helpful tips that will help you take care of your hands.
Basic Hand Care
Wash with care – It is no secret how aggressive we have become about keeping our hands clean. However, washing your hands the wrong way can cause unnecessary harm to the skin. Gentle but effective cleaning of the hands is the name of the game. Do not rub harmful objects with rough surfaces on your hand or use several types of unfamiliar hand wash and sanitisers. Instead, use clinically approved, user-friendly products and try scrubbing your hands gently with lukewarm water. This will help to keep your hands clean as well as unharmed.
Attend to your nails – Unfortunately, if you look under your nails, you’ll find a treasure trove of hidden dirt, germs and soot tucked underneath. It is essential to wash your hands at night with a nail brush, especially if you are a hard-working woman with no time during the day to attend to your hands. Gently clean under the nails with the brush and rinse away all the dirt that might be stuck there. Also, keep the nails trimmed and neat to improve the condition of your hands and their overall appearance.
Moisturiser and Cream – Using these a couple times a day is the secret to having silky-smooth hands. This is especially important for those who work in an air-conditioned office space, as using a good quality hand cream will prevent your hands from becoming dry and cracked. Apply the cream after washing your hands and gently massage to get the best results. To keep your hands hydrated, use a moisturising soap bar with soothing ingredients such as Aloe Vera, Olive Oil or Shea Butter.
Up Your Game
For more effective and advance hand care, you need to go beyond the basics. A combination of having good products and the right methods is a sure-fire way to take your hand care to the next level.
