The article mentions a pharmacy cream, before using which you should consult a specialist. Namely - with a dermatologist.
The hands are considered, perhaps, the most insidious area, which not only betrays our age, but can also throw us a dozen years. The neck with its Venus circles or small wrinkles on the face did not lie nearby due to visual aging. You cannot disguise your hands with any decorative cosmetics and photoshop.
But if you take care of them properly, then you can not worry.
The information is relevant as there is more talk of a second wave of disease. Again, abundantly and often you will have to use antiseptics (which are all alcohol based), plus the heating season has begun. Many have already thoroughly soaped their hands to dryness and cracks. At 30, they may look like a 50-year-old.
What's great: hand care is perhaps the most affordable. Creams and ointments are required that cost three pennies compared to the same facial skin care.
1. Methyluracil: a cheap drugstore ointment with a powerful effect (consult your doctor)
Believe it or not, I learned about this ointment long ago from a good friend who worked as a car washer. In such a job, strong chemicals are used, it is inconvenient to do the same dry cleaning of the salon with gloves. The guys' hands are a terrible sight: chicks, cracks, tied up so that if you squeeze into a fist, the skin literally "breaks".
My friend saved himself with methyluracil, in the evening he smeared his hands - by the morning everything was already healed. Sounds like cheap advertising, but no. She herself was convinced that the ointment accelerates the regeneration (i.e. the appearance of new) cells. For 40 rubles, the pharmacy actually sells a stripped-down version of expensive retinols.
In decent tattoo parlors, masters also advise methyluracil in the care of a new tattoo. It is even advised to use it instead of d-panthenol.
The ointment is not hormonal. But since it is part of a group of drugs, ethically, I must once again remind you of a consultation with a specialist about its use.
Due to the ability of the ointment to quickly renew skin cells, it not only saves from pimples, relieves inflammation and prevents the appearance of new scars or scars. It essentially rejuvenates the skin by removing dry skin textures from the hands (like soil in deserts).
With her, the problem of dry elbows is solved, the cuticles are softened. Someone even applies ointment to the lips when they are badly chapped. In general, the thing is working. Store in the refrigerator, does not take up much space and will definitely come in handy someday.
2. Nourishing creams: play ahead, prevent tightness and severe dryness in advance
Since the spring of this year, we all know that soaps and surfactants are the best guys in the fight against the virus. It's simple: they destroy the lipid envelope of the virus, which stores its genome. Constantly reminding us to thoroughly wash our hands after the street is right. And important!
But everything has its downside. Soaps and surfactants disrupt the water-lipid mantle of our skin with frequent contact. This is the outer layer of our skin, which takes all the impact from the outside: it protects against dust, various pathogenic microorganisms, etc.
Violation of the water-lipid mantle is fraught with the formation of dermatitis and ugly hands. But it's easy to fix if you use a nourishing cream regularly. Its task is to restore our lipid barrier of the skin, without which the hands look "rough".
In supermarkets, nutritious creams are full, with different compositions. Take a closer look at the following ingredients in the cream:
1) jojoba oil: it differs from other oils by the fact that the composition is close to the ethers secreted by the sebaceous glands of healthy skin; plus a decent amount of vitamin E. An example of an inexpensive jojoba oil hand cream is Compliment Naturalis (price around 80 rubles);
2) almond oil: suitable for those who value instant absorption in creams, and it also softens the skin well;
3) honey: it nourishes (by nutrition I mean the restoration of the natural lipids of the skin), and moisturizes; creams with it are quite inexpensive, but the main disadvantage is an allergen, which is not suitable for everyone;
3. Urea cream: when you need high-quality hydration
I like this component in cosmetics, I have devoted many articles. Because it is worthy of attention!
Let's go back to surfactants. In addition to the fact that they destroy the lipid mantle of the skin, their salt ions seem to "wash away" the natural moisturizing factor - something without which the skin would not seem smooth and healthy to us.
Be aware that if the skin on your hands looks wrinkled, it is most likely a lack of natural moisturizing factor.
In fact, the solution to this problem has long been among the cosmetics. But it's not cheap. But the cream with urea is really inexpensive.
Moreover, you can easily find an inexpensive ointment with a 10% urea content in the pharmacy.
Who is interested in reading about urea in more detail - you can see here (the material is more than 2 years old, but has not lost its relevance).
Take care and love yourself!
