The hands are a susceptible and aging body part due to relatively thin skin. Additionally, they come into contact with various types of bacteria, dirt, chemicals, and sunlight. Moreover, they are not shielded by clothing or makeup. While most people prioritize facial skincare, hands are also an important aspect of skincare.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keeping hands clean<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dirty hands can spread infectious diseases. The current global COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example. Even viral or bacterial infections like salmonella and the flu can enter the body if hands are not washed properly. Given the current situation, it’s ideal to wash hands with antibacterial soap every hour. Experts recommend thorough hand rubbing for at least 20 seconds, including between fingers and wrists. If wearing rings, remove them while washing hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using hand moisturizer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hand creams are better than body lotions in many ways. They have a thicker texture and last longer on the hands. If you have extremely dry skin, you should use oil-based hand creams. Ingredients like glycerin, alpha-hydroxy acids, and urea are beneficial as they act as moisturizing agents to attract moisture from the air into the skin. <\/span><\/p>\n

When the top layer of the skin becomes dry due to lack of moisture, it causes cracks on the surface and leaves gaps between skin cells. Moisturizers work to fill in the gaps between skin cells, making your skin smoother.<\/span><\/p>\n

Applying hand masks<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One way to care for beautiful hands is by applying hand masks to moisturize the skin further. Here’s a simple method: apply a thick layer of hand cream, add a layer of oil on top, and then put your hands into cotton gloves overnight. This helps them retain moisture overnight, and you’ll wake up with soft hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Protecting the epidermis layer at the nail base<\/strong><\/p>\n

The epidermal layer protects the nails and the surrounding skin from all kinds of infections. If you cut away your epidermal layer, bacteria and germs are more likely to penetrate inside, leading to infections. Next time you go to the nail salon, avoid trimming the epidermal layer at the base of the nails.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The epidermal layer is like the root of the nail. If you want long and healthy nails, you need to start taking care of your epidermal layer. If you still want to trim the epidermal layer, you should soften them first. To do this, soak your fingers in warm water or take a warm water bath. Then, use a cuticle pusher to push the epidermal layer out. Apply moisturizer immediately afterward.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sometimes, cutting the epidermal layer can lead to an infection called Paronychia. Symptoms include redness and softening of the skin around the nails, the appearance of pus-filled blisters, and peeling of the nails. While mild Paronychia can be treated at home, chronic Paronychia requires proper medical care.<\/span><\/p>\n
