Think about how much time you spend on skin care for your face. Now think about how much time you spend on your hands. Your hands and nails need the same amount of love you regularly give on your hands. Your hands also endure sun exposure, stress and dirt as you constantly use them everyday. But the skin on your hands is different from your facial skin. Your palm lacks sebaceous glands, which makes it difficult to maintain moisture. Flip it and you will notice that the skin on the back of your hand is thin and sensitive, making it prone to aging. This is why they need a care routine as much as your face does, maybe even more so! In this article we will be providing you some simple hand care tips and products to give your hands some much needed attention.
Keeping Your Hands Clean
Wash your hands with a moisturizing hand soap. It is important to keep your hands clean, but using an antibacterial hand soap can dry out your skin. Instead, wash your hands with a moisturizing soap that contains hydrating ingredients, such as Shea Butter, Olive Oil, or Aloe Vera to avoid stripping the natural oils from your skin. When you wash your hands avoid using hot water which can also dry out your skin. Wash with lukewarm or normal temperature water.
Here are some of our recommendations for moisturizing hand wash.

How The Glove Treatment Can Help Your Skin
Because the essential moisturizing properties of lotions and creams depend on blocking the evaporation of water from the skin's surface, skin will feel softer, moister and more supple for a limited amount of time after its application. However, the oily barrier eventually dissipates allowing the water from the skin's surface to evaporate and the skin dries again. If you apply a lavish amount of any best cream choices to your hands and then encase them in cotton gloves for overnight, the oils have more time to soak deep into the surface of the skin without evapouration, helping to lock in essential water to more thoroughly hydrate the cells on the skin's surface. This is especially beneficial in air condition rooms when the cold air draws more moisture out of the skin's surface, often leaving them dry, chapped and rough.
