Proper Application of Hand Cream: Pay Attention to Details for Doubled Effect!

Using hand cream without washing your hands? Forcefully applying hand cream? Using face cream instead of hand cream? NO, absolutely not!

Your hands, bearing the traces of time, marking the passage of years, deserve care just as much as your face. Today, I, Xiao Miao, present to you a "hand care" guide to elevate your wonderful life.

Wash Your Hands Before Applying Hand Cream

Many friends can't resist applying hand cream as soon as their hands feel dry, but this is not correct. Because hands often come into contact with various items, they are prone to bacterial contamination. If you apply hand cream without washing your hands first, not only will it not have a good skincare effect, but it may also nourish bacteria.

Fingers and Back of Hands are Key Areas

Squeeze the hand cream onto one hand, then clasp your hands together as if you were shaking hands, so that the hand cream gathers at the arch of your hand. Rub in circular motions, then use the palm to massage the back of the hand, continuing to rub in circular motions to spread the cream to the fingers and fingertips, ensuring that the hand cream is applied as much as possible where it's needed.

Don't Forget the Tips of Your Fingers

When applying, don't forget to apply cream to the edges of your fingertips, as this can improve hangnails. Hangnails occur because the skin next to the nails is thinner and prone to separation and hangnails when dry. Therefore, paying attention to the edges of the fingertips when applying hand cream is an effective way to prevent hangnails.

The Best Repair Time is at Night

Applying hand cream before bed yields better results. After a night of moisturizing, your hands will feel exceptionally soft and moisturized the next day, less prone to dryness and tightness.

Don't Substitute Face Cream for Hand Cream

Some people may think that hand cream, body lotion, and face cream are all similar, but the skin on the hands doesn't naturally secrete oils, so it needs products with more moisturizing and oily properties to prevent dryness. Hand creams are formulated with strict ratios and are more suitable for hand skin than lotions or face creams.

Give your hands the best care. In the details of life, learn to be delicate and self-sustaining. When you love yourself enough, life will love you back.
