What to do if your hands are dry in winter? What to do?

Hands are the "second face" of human beings. A pair of clean and smooth hands is what everyone dreams of. But when winter comes, as soon as we step out the door, our hands will be immediately dried out by the cold wind. So what should you do if you have dry skin on your hands?

1. Comprehensive protection measures are the best choice. When the weather gets colder, we will naturally put on thick clothes, hats and scarves. It’s just that for various reasons in life, we may not wear gloves, allowing our hands to come into direct contact with the cold air outside, which makes our hands become drier and even peel. In fact, a pair of comfortable and warm gloves is an indispensable protection for us in winter, and using a pair of rubber gloves is also a good idea when you have to come into contact with water.

2. Wash your hands with warm water to moisturize your hands. We wash our hands at any time. Cold water is a great stimulation to the hands. If you need to wash your hands frequently, the editor recommends that you should choose to wash your hands with warm water, because warm water will not be too irritating to our hand skin and indirectly moisturize our hands.

3. Say "bye-bye" to alkaline soap. A large number of people like to use alkaline soap when washing their hands, thinking that this will not only clean them but also remove odor. However, since the skin on our hands is weakly acidic and soap is alkaline, using alkaline soap will change the pH value of our skin, directly damaging the skin of our hands, increasing the burden on the skin, and making the roughness of the hands worse.

4. Always have hand cream on hand in winter. We should apply hand cream appropriately. Of course, we should not apply it once a day when we go out, but carry it with us. Apply hand cream in time after washing hands every time to keep hands away from the stimulation of cold wind. In addition, please note that you must dry your hands after washing them. Do not shake them dry or let them dry naturally, as this will more frequently cause cracking of the skin on your hands.
