What should I do if my hands are too dry in winter

In winter, due to the dry weather, palms are prone to dryness or even cracking due to lack of water. After the palm is cracked, it is unsightly, and it may also cause pain and affect the health of both hands. Let's learn what to do with chapped palms in winter.

1. Wash your hands often with warm water. Remember not to use cold water or overheated hot water. Using warm water can moisten hands frozen by cold and reduce the irritation of palm skin. At the same time, warm water with appropriate temperature can well open pores and wash away dirty things inside, which is beneficial to the protection and beautification of palm skin.

2. Use mild or neutral hand sanitizer, and try not to wash your hands with excessively alkaline soap. Soap is generally alkaline, so excessive use of soap to wash hands will cause the cuticle of palm skin to become thinner and the oil of palm skin to decrease. Cuticle and oil are the protective layers of the palm, and it is easier to dry and crack after the palm is restored, so be sure to remember to use a mild and neutral hand sanitizer that does not hurt your hands.

For chapped palms with aging cutin, you can apply a proper amount of scrub to exfoliate them first, and then take care of them. After washing your hands, apply a proper amount of scrub, gently massage and rub for three or four minutes, and then wash. Facial cleanser can't be used often because it is rough and easy to exfoliate. It is also not suitable for people with wounds or thin cuticle after palm cracking.

3. After washing your hands every day, massage your hands with a gentle and moisturizing hand cream to promote absorption. Boys and girls need their own hand cream to protect their hands in winter. In winter, due to the cold and dry air, palms are easy to dry or even crack without the protection of hand cream, and a good hand cream can protect dry hands to the greatest extent.

4, vitamin E opponents also have a good protective effect, so try it. The symptoms of dry hands can be alleviated by eating vitamin E or foods rich in vitamin E, and can also be applied externally. The specific method can be as follows: first buy a bottle of vitamin E capsules, then puncture a capsule with a needle, squeeze out oily substances rich in vitamin E, carefully smear your hands and massage more, which can replenish palm nutrition and moisturize your skin.

5. Choose a pair of soft and warm gloves to protect your palm from the outside. For hands that are easy to dry, it is suitable to wear thick cotton gloves in winter, which can keep the palms warm and moist without irritation. Although wool gloves and rabbit hair gloves are also warm, they are irritating to the skin and should not be chosen. Chemical fiber gloves with poor warmth and irritation need not be considered.

6. Friends with dry hands should try not to touch cold water in winter. The harm of cold water in winter to the palm is obvious, so even if you want to touch cold water, please wear gloves to do it. For example, if you need to wash dishes or wash clothes in winter, please try to use warm water or wear rubber gloves to isolate cold water. After work, only use warm water to restore the vitality of the palm as soon as possible, and even apply hand cream for maintenance.
