Hand care - page 11

Hand care is an important part of daily online cosmetics, because the skin of the hands is often exposed to water, soaps, disinfectants, cold weather, wind and household chemicals. That is why hands can easily become dry, rough, tight, cracked or prone to flaking.

At ApotekaOnline, you can find hand creams intended for hydration, protection, softening and restoring comfort. They are especially useful for skin that is washed frequently, dries out quickly or needs extra care during colder months.

Regular use of hand cream helps maintain softness and elasticity, while nails and cuticles look better cared for. If flaking, cracking or marked dryness appears during winter, read the guide How to prevent skin peeling in winter.

Dry hands, skin peeling and winter care

The skin of the hands often loses moisture in winter because of cold air, wind, heating and frequent washing. To reduce dryness, tightness and peeling, regular use of cream after hand washing, wearing gloves in cold weather and avoiding overly aggressive soaps are recommended.

Pharmacist’s advice

Apply hand cream several times a day, especially after washing hands, using disinfectants and before going out in the cold. For very dry skin, it can be useful to apply a thicker layer of cream in the evening. If deep cracks, bleeding, severe itching, redness, pain, signs of infection or changes that do not calm down despite regular care appear, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist.
