Hand Creams
Protect your hands from the cold
It's definitely one of the most common problems we face these days! The skin on our hands becomes dry and rough with the result that it acquires an unsightly appearance and has an unpleasant feeling, this happens because the skin of the hands is more sensitive to external attacks. The cold during the winter months is bitter and our hands are dehydrated.
The phenomenon of intense dry skin on the hands is due to the cold but also to the reduction of sebum production, which is the body's natural fat during the winter months.
The good news is that you can easily avoid all of the above, by incorporating a rich moisturizing and repairing hand cream into your daily routine. Use it every night before bed but keep a tube in your bathroom too , with the aim of using it after every wash, in order to protect your hands from dryness.
