Washing and disinfecting your hands is currently the top priority of the day. It's quite a challenge to keep our skin intact. Almost everyone is now dealing with dry hands, so we need to be extra kind to them. We’re sharing tips to protect and care for your hands as much as possible.
Use a hand cream
It’s no surprise that all hand creams in drugstores are almost sold out. A hand cream provides hydration and care for your hands. And we definitely need that with all the hand washing. During the day, use a cream that absorbs quickly, so it’s not too greasy. Apply this cream after every wash and preferably even more often in between. Keep it next to your sink, in the bathroom, or on your desk when working from home. That way, it’s always within reach.
Use an extra rich hand cream in the evening
The greasier the cream, the more care it provides. But applying a very greasy cream during the day isn’t practical. So, apply it in the evening instead. Thanks to all the nourishing ingredients, your hands have all night to recover. Try these lovely hand creams from BioHerapy.
Disinfect in moderation
Disinfectant gel is also sold out everywhere. The amount of alcohol in this gel is meant to kill bacteria. And yes, it does that, but keep in mind that it doesn’t do everything we might think. Disinfection alone is not enough; it doesn’t kill everything. It also removes the protective layer of the skin, along with the good bacteria. This can be quite harsh on your skin. Therefore, always use a disinfectant gel in combination with hand washing and a hand cream.
Don’t forget the SPF
It’s clear that you need to use hand cream, but what is often forgotten is that these dry hands are also very sensitive to the sun. And it’s finally back, yay! So don’t forget to protect your hands outdoors with an SPF. You can simply use sunscreen for this.
Use hand cream, disinfect your hands occasionally, and don’t forget to apply SPF in this lovely weather. This way, your hands will survive these times too. Oh, and if you’re wondering how long you should wash your hands: there’s a trick! Sing ‘Happy birthday’ twice while washing, and you’re all set. Good luck!
