Choosing the best hand cream

Choosing the best hand cream

Acquaintance with a person begins at a glance, a few words and shaking hands. Many women, paying so much attention to their face, makeup, clothes, hair care, completely forget about the skin of their pens. But it is by the hands that the true age of a woman can be determined. They may betray neglect of care and self-care. The choice of care products for expensive pens is a very important point that you need to take seriously and be as prepared as possible.

Features

Of course, now our hands do not experience such loads as a hundred years ago. Now we have washing and dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, multicookers and other benefits of technological development. We no longer have to work all day in the field and clean up livestock. Despite all these improvements, the skin takes a serious blow daily. This and the wrong food, sun, wind, cold, and aggressive detergents, which contact our hands.

Initially, apparently due to the lack of nature, the epidermis of the hands is defenseless. The hands do not have sebaceous glands on their surface at all, and on the back of them are too small. Accordingly, the dermis cannot create a protective layer. Yes, and we constantly wash off this film with water and soap. Chemical agents have a detrimental effect on it, and constant influence can lead to the development of skin diseases. The peel is dried, stressed and aging quickly, wrinkling. There may be microcracks, irregular pigmentation. All this happens if you do not use special tools to protect pens.

If we are often outside, especially in summer, protection from the sun’s rays is indispensable for our delicate hands. Cosmetics for them does not always contain UV protection, but it will never be superfluous. The main purpose of hand cream is to moisturize, soften and protect. It should not irritate the epidermis, be well absorbed, restore the structure of the dermis.

Means are applied quite often, especially when temperature drops, when going out, after washing.

With regular use of a properly selected product, you can get the following results:

  • provide derma protection from the harmful effects of the environment;
  • add the necessary moisture and nutrition;

Along with the usual cosmetic products, you can find professional cream on the shelves. They are produced by such brands as Phytomer, Kinetics, Iodas, Biodroga, Academie, Declare, OPI, CND and others.

Professional cosmetics takes into account the characteristics of a particular type of skin, and as a result, it is narrowly aimed. Ideally, the composition of such a tool consists only of natural substances, mineral-vitamin complexes, vegetable oils and extracts. In this case, the tool is not produced alone, but has related products such as scrubs, masks, protective products. The complex of means allows to provide hands with high-grade leaving, improvement, the decision of the majority of problems.

Kinds

In order to make an informed choice, you need to understand what range of tools for hands provide manufacturers and what functions they perform.

  • Moisturizing. A cream with this function should restore the water balance of the epidermis. Therefore, most of its composition is water. But important are the components that help the dermis to absorb this water.The texture of this tool is extremely comfortable and light. It absorbs quickly and does not leave behind a sensation of presence on the skin. It is easy to apply and can be used quite often as needed.
  • Protection. Best of all, gloves protect against external factors. The protective cream acts in a similar way, it creates on the surface of the dermis a thin invisible film that prevents contact with chemicals, water and harmful environmental factors. In addition, it is able to retain the moisture that the skin needs, while maintaining the natural water-fat balance. It protects the surface of the epidermis from draining if necessary, frequent washing. There are products with hydrophilic properties. They are used in contact with aggressive substances and dirt, paint, resin and other not very pleasant environments.
  • Nutrition. Such products contain a huge amount of nutrients that have a beneficial effect on the skin. The structure of the nourishing cream is quite fat, it should nourish the skin with the necessary substances as much as possible, stimulate the processes of cell division and structure restoration. It makes the skin soft and tender.
  • Anti-aging action. This tool fights the signs of aging: wrinkles, pigmentation, loss of elasticity. It can have a lifting effect to achieve the best result. Sometimes manufacturers add a whitening component to even out skin tone.
  • Treatment. There are special therapeutic drugs that purposefully act on certain problems with the skin. At the same time, they often contain healing, anti-inflammatory and other means of directional action.

In addition, shared creams for day and night.

Night is directed mostly to nutrition and recovery of the dermis, more fat and dense. Putting him before bedtime, you can be sure that he will act during the entire period of rest.

Hand products can also be successfully used for elbows, which often require additional nourishment and hydration. Especially suitable for such care products with vitamins A, E and F, almond oil and extracts of herbs such as licorice, calendula, potentilla and others.

Many companies except the usual cream release the tool in a cream-butter format. This form is usually more dense and thick. Performs emergency power and recovery functions. Also protects against environmental influences, especially in winter.

Separately, you can put hypoallergenic hand cream.

In addition to the usual functions of other products, it should have the highest quality composition, gently affect the skin and not cause unpleasant reactions. Suitable for delicate and sensitive skin prone to irritation.

Composition

Purpose means leaves an imprint on its composition. It is possible to distinguish the following groups of components that form the basis of any hand care product.

  • In any tool in the first place should be water. Moisturizers contain up to 80%, others not less than 60%. There are practically no sebaceous glands on the dermis of the hands, and it is simply not capable of maintaining an optimal water balance. Water should prevent draining.
  • Fats of plant and animal origin, nourishing and protecting the cover. The olive and burdock components do an excellent job with this feature.

To combat age-related changes, products with hyaluronic acid, collagen and elastin, aloe vera extract are suitable. Glycerin, lanolin, vitamin E, natural extract of aloe or calendula, sea buckthorn or olive fats will promote hydration and nutrition.

Is it possible to apply on face

The structure of the skin of the face and hands is fundamentally different. The epidermis of the face, unlike the hands, is generously supplied with the sebaceous and sweat glands. In addition, it is highly sensitive to both the environment and the composition of the applied agents.

Applying hand remedies on the dermis of the face is a very bad idea.

You may not notice the negative impact immediately if you decide to conduct an experiment. But after a while, there will undoubtedly be the "fruits" of such care. Even during one application, the pores of the face can be closed, the respiratory process and water-fat balance will be disturbed. There may also be inflammation and irritation. A huge amount of glycerin can have a draining effect, and components designed to soften the face will have a very different effect - will cause the cover to swell. Hand creams have a more rigid composition and can cause allergic manifestations.

It can be concluded that carrying out experiments on your face with the help of cosmetics for handprints is a thankless job that can lead to the appearance of a huge number of problems. If necessary, you can use such a tool for the legs, because the structure of the dermis there is most similar to the hands. But the application on the face is excluded with proper care of themselves.

Which to choose

It is natural to assume that the effectiveness of the product and the positive effect depend on the correct choice of the product for the care. It is necessary to pay attention to some facts in order to consciously carry out the selection of the cream.

  • Be guided by the needs of your dermis. If the main problem is dryness, choose a moisturizer, at the age of more than forty years - anti-aging compounds, for certain skin diseases - medical preparations. These criteria should be the basis of your decision.
  • The ideal option would be to purchase a package of care products. For example, a nourishing cream for use at night and moisturizing for use during the day. Also, depending on your needs, you can purchase a protective composition or a scrub, also for problems with the cuticle or nails, a comprehensive option that works for both skin and nail plates is a good option.
  • Pay close attention to the composition of the product. Check if there are any components for which allergic reactions are possible. It is possible that some ingredients do not suit you. It is better to choose the product with the most appropriate composition.
  • Check if the expiration date of the cosmetics has not expired, the use of expired cream may result in allergies or dermatitis. Too long shelf life also does not speak in favor of the product, because it means the presence of a large number of preservatives.
  • Choose a form of release cream that suits you. A tube or dispenser is the most hygienic option. If you get a jar, take care and purchase a special plastic or wooden spatula. If the bottle is constantly in a purse for daily use, it should not be bulky or too easy to open.
  • Of course, the price is an important factor. However, remember that not always more expensive - it means better. On the other hand, when you buy cosmetics in a special store, you may spend more money, but you definitely will not choose a fake.

Reviews

Women's reviews of care creams for their expensive hands depend on a huge number of factors.

Of course, the effectiveness and efficiency of the tools are in the first place. And even with all the other satisfying parameters, low quality will not make the opinion about it good. For example, the OPI line, despite the status of professional cosmetics, deserved a lot of negativity due to the fact that the result of the application is visible only immediately after application. When used, even for several months, it did not benefit the epidermis.

An important factor is the texture of the cream. But it all depends on how it is used. A good day cream absorbs instantly, leaves no residue and retains a feeling of moisturizing and well-groomed skin until the next hand wash. Its consistency should be light and weightless. The night care may be greasy, not very well absorbed and leave a film on the skin surface. At the same time, the visible result is important in the morning.

The best product, according to the ladies, is still sold in a pharmacy. But this concerns the really problematic dermis. For the usual care and fit the goods from the store. And it doesn't really matter if he is professional.

Reviews recognized good moisturizers cream brands Yves Rosher, Neutrogena, Velor. Among the nutritional products stood out Nivea, Faberlic.

The best budget option, according to reviews, can be considered "Velours". Its price is really impressive.

Dove It also pleasantly surprises customers, and provides a quality product for a reasonable price.

Rating funds close enough well-known brands. "Clean Line" and "Velvet Pens". Despite their low cost and pleasant qualities, women did not forgive them for their lack of effect.

An important factor for women in the choice of hand cream is the smell.

And here the reviews are very different. Some people like fruit or flower aromas. Others are just annoying. The aroma of perfume and highly persistent odors quickly become boring. Many prefer the subtle fresh notes or products that do not smell at all.

Another option - packaging, also turned out to be important. For use on the road, everyone prefers a standard tube format. It should fit well in a purse, have a comfortable lid. For home use, ladies prefer jars or bottles with dispensers, tubes with a more economical volume.

The choice of tools for the hands, as it turned out, depends on many factors and is very individual. The main thing is to pay attention to the composition and purpose of the product. Only by trying, you can find your perfect cream.
