A Simple Step-By-Step Hand Care Routine

Do you want to know a fun fact? Our hands age faster than the face? Yes, the skincare industry is busy finding new ways to conquer wrinkles and fine lines, we all have forgotten that the early signs of ageing first show on your hands. Unfortunately, after two years of rigorous washing and sanitizing our hands due to COVID, they are screaming MOISTURE, MOISTURE! The best solution? A hand cream.  

We apply moisturizer after washing the face, so why not do the same for your hands? The skin of the hands needs a lot of moisture to renew our skin cells. Adding a hand cream to your routine is the one of the best ways to repair your damaged skin and provide nourishment. Read on to know about the benefits of hand cream, what causes our hand to age and of course which hand creams you should fill your vanity kits with. 

Why is it important to take care of your hands? 

Do you know what is one big reason to take care of your hands? They touch innumerable surfaces every day. And participating in the hand care routine is one such step that one should opt for. 

What causes our hands to dry? 

Dry hands are triggered mainly due to environmental factors. And those who live in a dry climate or are exposed to harsh cleaning agents are more prone to it. Also, one of the primary reasons is changing weather—when it’s cold, the air dries out, and our body can’t get hold of moisture. This lack of moisture in the air causes our hands to dry. If you stay much in prolonged hot showers or use heating devices such as a central heating system, it can lead to reducing skin moisture and make them look dry. 

Steps for your hand care routine 

Your hand care routine doesn’t have to be as elaborate as your skincare regime. It’s time to opt for a hand care regime that isn’t complicated, but has all the essential products and steps for optimum results. 

• Wash your hands correctly

Our hands are exposed to dirt and germs all day — and investing in a mild soap will cleanse your hand gently. Your first step always has to be washing your hands thoroughly!

• Exfoliate

After cleansing, exfoliating is the most effective way to get rid of dead skin and impurities. Pick a gentle exfoliator with brightening ingredients like lemon to remove tan, pigmentation and keep your skin soft and smooth.

• Moisturize 

Frequent washing of hands can leave your skin dry. It’s best to moisturize them immediately after washing to lock in the moisture. Investing in a good quality hand cream will strengthen the skin’s barrier and prevent moisture loss.
