It is said that the hand is the second face of a girl, so the maintenance of the hand is also very important, so hand cream has become a regular skin care product for many people throughout the year. So, how much do you know about hand creams? Today, let's talk about the secret of hand cream.

Why is the skin on the hands more prone to dryness and roughness?

The skin of the hands does not have sufficient sebaceous glands and therefore lacks the innate self-moisturizing ability. If you often do various hand work, or wash your hands frequently, and come into contact with alkaline detergents such as detergent and washing powder, the skin of your hands will be continuously stimulated, and the sebaceous gland lipids on the skin surface will be lost, which will naturally become more and more dry and rough. .

How many times a day should I apply hand cream?

The frequency of use of hand cream is not fixed, generally after washing hands, or when the skin of the hands feels dry and evenly applied. In addition, if you use an alkaline cleaning product when washing your hands, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer, you can increase the frequency of use and enhance care.

Is the oilier hand cream the better?

of course not. Hand cream should also be selected according to skin type. If your hands are dry, you can choose products with richer oils and thicker textures, such as mineral oil, lanolin, beeswax, etc., for better moisturizing effect. If the skin on your hands is not too dry, you can choose a light or gel-like product, which is moisturizing enough and comfortable on the skin.

Are more expensive hand creams better?

The price of hand cream products on the market now varies, ranging from a few yuan to several hundred yuan, so is the more expensive the better? In general, products with certain high-end ingredients, or complex formulations with multiple functions, are naturally more expensive. At the same time, factors such as brand premium and market positioning will also affect the price of the product.

But for a good hand care product, the most basic thing is to meet the moisturizing needs of the hand skin, and the second thing to consider is the effect of antioxidant exfoliation. Therefore, more expensive hand creams are not necessarily suitable for dry weather. When choosing, you don’t have to pursue price and efficacy too much, and choose the most suitable product according to your needs.

Is there a fake hand cream?

Of course there is. As long as it is profitable, counterfeiters will "swarm". Moreover, consumers generally do not carefully check and compare when purchasing, which leaves counterfeiters hiding in the sky.

If you can't judge the authenticity by the appearance, etc., you can pour a glass of warm water and squeeze a little product into it. If it can quickly blend with water, it's probably true, or at least usable; if not, it's probably false. Because the pores of the skin need to breathe, not being dissolved means not being absorbed by the skin.

When you buy, you must keep your eyes open, do more comparisons, and avoid fake and shoddy products. Brand manufacturers can also strengthen the anti-counterfeiting protection of their products. For example, in recent years, many cosmetic companies have chosen the encryption and intelligent identification anti-counterfeiting technology of medium-weight features. Features that are difficult to counterfeit and easy to identify can help consumers accurately distinguish between real and fake and avoid being deceived. Although hand cream is a "small product", it is also a big market, and the harm of counterfeit products cannot be ignored.

What hand cream is suitable for spring?

Unlike the dry seasons of autumn and winter, when the humidity is higher in spring, you can choose products with lighter texture and avoid products with too high oil content to reduce the sticky feeling on your hands. At the same time, although the sun is not strong in spring, the intensity of ultraviolet rays is still very high, so you can also choose a hand cream with sunscreen effect.

Hand protection should be done every day, and gloves can be worn when doing housework to reduce skin irritation, especially when washing dishes, going to the toilet, etc. When contacting detergent products, pay more attention to care. At night, you can apply a thick layer of hand cream, then put on disposable gloves and plug it for about half an hour, wipe off the excess hand cream, and stick to it for a longer time, and your hands will look better.
