Hand care, or how to take care of your hands.

Over the years, we develop skin care habits that make our skin groomed, radiant, flawless and without signs of aging. We will pay any amount of money for face creams. Well, why only the face is our priority? It is the hands that are our business card. Moisturized and well-groomed and not giving away our age. Recently, they have been exposed to the harmful effects of antibacterial gels and lotions, which in the first place have alcohol in their composition. Not forgetting about the skin of our face let's take care of the skin of our hands, especially that in this purpose will serve us well cosmetics, which we use every day just to care for the face.

 At home, in stores, pharmacies, at every step we see dispensers with liquid disinfectant. The situation forces us to use them several times a day. In addition, I bet that most of us have our own container to protect us from viruses and bacteria. Concerned about the condition of the skin on our hands, we decided to explore the topic and find out what effect antibacterial agents have on our skin.

Alcohol, this is what is behind the bad condition of our hands. In the composition of antibacterial liquids we can find it in the first place and in a concentrated form. It is what makes our skin dry and cracked. With frequent use it washes away the lipid layer of the epidermis, which is supposed to protect our skin. Additionally, when it evaporates, it also causes water to evaporate from our epidermis. We don't have to wait long for the side effects, already after a few uses of antibacterial agents, the skin of our hands becomes rough and visibly cracked.

How to take care of hands, when at every step they are exposed to external factors?

First of all, hyaluronic acid. Known and widely used in cosmetic procedures and aesthetic medicine. We propose a non-invasive solution in the form of our serum triple hyaluronic acid 3%. Its task is to deeply moisturize, regenerate the skin, hydrate and soothe irritation. Hyaluronic acid creates a protective barrier on the surface of the skin, causes that it does not lose water and is more resistant to external factors, including irritating alcohol contained in gels and antibacterial liquids. Additionally, the serum will accelerate cell renewal, making redness and irritation disappear in a flash. So, while applying it to your face, do not forget to apply it also to your hands, which will gladly take advantage of all its properties!

Another cosmetic that accompanies us in our daily care is our intensive regeneration serum. The serum consists of the best quality and most valued cosmetic oils such as jojoba oil, grape seed oil, evening primrose oil and rosehip oil. However, the most important ingredient in our serum is prickly pear oil. We have written about it more than once because of its valuable properties. It strengthens and nourishes the skin, reduces wrinkles, deeply moisturizes and increases skin density. It contains valuable phytoterols responsible for the regeneration of the epidermis. Everything that our hands have been lacking lately. The serum is designed for facial skin care but I bet that our hands will thank us for the nightly regeneration treatment.

Another solution for all those struggling with dry hand skin is plum seed oil. In its composition we can find many valuable ingredients, antioxidants, vitamin E, unsaturated fatty acids. One of them, oleic acid, is responsible for the liquidity of the epidermal lipid barrier, which makes it permeable for other valuable components. The other, linoleic acid, protects the skin from water loss.  It is thanks to their action that this oil has soothing and rebuilding properties of the skin. What is more, it protects the lipid barrier of the epidermis, thanks to which our skin is not exposed to water loss and adverse effects of external conditions. This oil is quickly absorbed without leaving a greasy film. It is perfect for daily care. It is also worth adding it to your favorite hand cream. Such addition will strengthen its effect and help rebuild our hands.

For those who like night treatments, we recommend a quick and effective way to fight with dry hand skin. All you need is an oil and a pair of cotton gloves. Which oil to choose? The one that we happen to have on hand! Grapeseed or sweet almond oil are perfect for rough and tight skin, leaving it soft and moisturized. What is more, vitamin E and linoleic acid contained in grape seed oil are great antioxidants, delaying the skin aging process. But let's not forget about the cosmetics from our kitchen! Olive Oil is perfect for this treatment! It contains a monounsaturated fatty acid with very good emollient properties - it will create on the surface of the
