Winter months force your hands to endure harsh winds, bitter cold temperatures and precipitation that leaves cracked, scaly skin.
Remember a few things from everdayhealth.com on how to protect your hands:
- Wear gloves
- Trade in your bar of soap for shower gel
- Use body cream, try wearing gloves to let the cream sink in
- Drink a lot of H2O
- Add flax seed to your diet
- Take care of your nails in between manicures
“Trade in your bar soap and keep a bath and shower gel sink-side for hand washing,” suggests Marion Fenwick, head nail trainer at Bliss Spas in New York City. “It’s a nice change for the colder months, because while bar soaps can strip the skin of moisture, bath and shower gels are richer and can actually add moisture to dry hands.”
Pour yourself a glass of water, rub some lotion on your hands and eat some oatmeal this winter. You’re hands could be as smooth as a baby’s.
