A good hand cream is needed always and everywhere: at home and at work, in the country and while traveling. We will show you what to look for when choosing the right tool.
Nice texture
When choosing a cream, pay attention to the texture.
During the day, light consistency is preferable – such products are quickly absorbed and do not leave a greasy sheen, and with it marks on clothes and surfaces that you touch.
At night, you can and should apply a denser cream or even a balm. It will nourish and restore the skin of your hands while you sleep, and in the morning it will be soft and tender.
Sun protection
No wonder they say that the hands are the first to give out age: due to exposure to UV rays, the skin becomes dry faster, age spots appear.
Vitamins
The most common substances in cosmetics:
vitamin E (tocopherol) activates the regenerative processes in the skin;
vitamin C (ascorbic acid) stimulates the production of collagen, which gives the skin elasticity.
It is convenient to have hand cream always at hand – in the bathroom, in the bedroom, in the kitchen, in the office, in order to soften the skin with it several times during the day, this is especially true in the cool season
Amino acids
As you know, protein is the main building material in the body. All proteins are built from amino acids, which makes them a valuable ingredient in any cosmetic product. They help to improve the elasticity of the skin, its restoration. Hand cream is no exception.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a component that soothes and softens the skin, restores its barrier properties. It is especially important for sensitive skin – it accelerates the healing of cracks that appear on the hands from frost, water, excessive dryness of the air.
Сввалан
By structure, it is close to the skin’s own lipids, so it can be embedded in the hydrolipidic layer and strengthen it, preventing moisture from evaporating.
The basis of squalane (squalene), as a rule, is olive oil.
Glycerol
Natural ingredients
If the cream contains plant extracts (chamomile, lavender, green tea, roses), as well as natural oils (shea, avocado, coconut), this means that under the lid you will find not only an effective remedy, but also a pleasant aroma.
Natural ingredients make the composition of the cream and its action more understandable, and use – as pleasant as possible.
