Skincare for the Changing Seasons: 5 Tips to Soothe and Protect Dry Winter Hands - Makeup and Beauty Blog
This post is part of a series sponsored by Dove.
I was tickling the ivories on my computer keyboard the other twenty-four hour period (I l-o-five-e R-y-a-due north Chiliad-o-southward-l-i-due north-chiliad) when my eyes settled on a frightening sight.
My easily!
Something — probably a combination of biting winds, indoor heaters and obsessive hand washing — had turned them into two chapped chunks of leathery turkey hasty.
Non cute.
"Tabs!" I screamed, reaching out to him for emotional support, but every bit soon equally he took one look at my wretched paws, he hissed and ran away.
Okay, well, peradventure not, but I recall he did sort of cringe. 🙂
When the holidays get rolling and the tasks pile upwardly, that's normally when I forget to take care of my hands. This twelvemonth, I'g giving my talons some extra TLC, because the terminal affair I want on New year's is to take hands like that guy on Tales from the Crypt.
Here are five handy (pun intended!) tips to soothe and protect your paws and keep them looking their best.
1. Take hold of your gloves!
No, not the lacy fingerless kind, a la Madonna (although those are cool, besides). Wearing gloves, both indoors and out, helps protect them from the elements.
Every bit long as yous're not allergic to latex, consider keeping a bag of disposable ones around to wear while preparing meals with acidic ingredients, so to avoid detergents while doing the dishes, keep a pair of rubber gloves near the sink. You might even stash an actress pair to apply while cleaning the firm.
If you spend a lot of time behind the bicycle similar, say, Ryan Gosling'due south character in Drive, driving gloves are a stylish fashion to protect your paws from the sun.
I as well go on a pair of cotton wool gloves on my nightstand and skid them on after I put on manus cream before bed. I've mentioned this tip earlier, but information technology's one of my faves. It'south a great manner to hydrate your hands overnight.
2. Scrub-a-dub-dub
I recall I'thou pretty good nigh remembering to exfoliate my face up and trunk on a regular basis, but I ever forget to exfoliate my hands. Why is that?
To jog my memory, I've been keeping an exfoliating scrub on my bath sink; if you lot happen to accept an exfoliating face serum (for example, something with an agile ingredient like AHA or BHA), yous can also mix a couple of drops into your regular manus cream and apply that to your hands instead.
3. Turn down the heat
Washing hands with hot water can strip them of their natural oils, so endeavour turning downward the h2o to a lukewarm temp.
iv. Go for the glycerin
Since soaps can be drying, wait for a cleanser made with glycerin, which tends to be gentler on the peel. Also, don't forget to rinse well (get in between those fingers, too!), as soap residuum can irritate the pare.
5. Moisturize me!
After washing and drying hands, apply a hand cream with SPF (gotta protect those paws from the sun!) while they're still slightly damp; it'll assistance lock in wet.
If you lot don't like greasy hands (and who does?), opt for non-greasy lotions, similar ones containing lanolin and/or glycerin, and y'all can too blot any excess production off your palms.
