Although this winter can't really be called wintery, many people still suffer from chapped, dry, tight and even painful hands. Especially if you wash your hands often or are outside a lot, you can hardly avoid it. A good hand cream is therefore a real must for everyone. First of all for soft, supple hands, but of course also because it is simply wonderful to smear with a nice hand cream.
How do dry and painful hands develop?
Our hands have to endure a lot when it gets colder or when you wash your hands often. Think of cold air when it is freezing, but also the heater plays a role, oh and what about washing your hands often?! All factors that can cause rough, dry and painful skin with cracks in the worst case.
Dry air is a common cause of (too) dry hands. In winter, the heating is turned on again and the windows are opened less often. The humidity in the house decreases. You will probably recognize it: after a wonderful night's sleep with the window slightly open, you turn on the heating. Lovely of course, but you can quickly suffer from tight and taut skin. Our hands are especially sensitive to this. If it is also freezing outside, all hell breaks loose. Super nasty, because cracks in the dry skin of your hands is really no fun. Tip. Turn the heating down a degree and also open the window a crack regularly on cold days.
In addition to humidity, there is another important cause of dry hands, namely washing hands (with soap). Since the pandemic, we have been repeatedly told that we should wash our hands often and for as long as possible. Of course, this is good for fighting the virus, but it is disastrous for the skin of your hands. There is hardly anyone who has not suffered from washing hands too much.
The more you wash your hands, the more you need to take care of them with a moisturizing hand cream. As we have all learned, soap is important in killing viruses, so unfortunately we are stuck with it.
Tip. Don't shower too long and especially not too hot! Although it can be wonderful sometimes, it is really not good for your skin. Not only for the skin of your hands, but of your entire body!
How do I prevent dry and chapped hands?!
Applying hand cream to your hands is wonderful all year round, but it is a must during the winter months. Start applying it before you get any complaints. That way, you can prevent the discomfort. Add applying hand cream to your morning routine and repeat during the day after washing your hands. A small amount is enough to keep your hands supple and soft all day long.
