Our Tips for Soft Hands Even During the Winter!

Soft hands during the winter? For many women, especially those dabbling with domestic chores and have them constantly drenched or work outdoors for many hours, this may sound like a dream…

… Or maybe not?

Parapharmacie’s experts have gathered for you the ultimate tips for smooth and soft hands, despite the cold and the low winter temperatures!

1. Protect them from the Cold

Cold is not exactly a friend for our hands; it dries them and often causes irritations to the skin. Hence, take some action to protect them! During really cold days, have always with you a pair of gloves.  

2. Use Lukewarm Water While Washing your Hands

Warm water sure sounds tempting during the winter, but your hands probably don’t feel the same way…

If you wish to avoid them getting all dried up, opt for lukewarm water while washing them. Also, note that washing them too often may disturb their natural oiliness and wear the upper skin layers.

3. Select the Proper Skin Care Products!

Select cleaning and skincare products that respect your hands, being hypo-allergenic and helping the skin regain and preserve its humidity, smoothness and elasticity, thus minimising the risk of having irritations.

Especially if you have sensitive hands or a skin that tends to get stiff or coarse, it is important to exfoliate them regularly with a special product – and then follow it up with proper hydration!

4. The Value of Proper Hydration

Never forget to hydrate your hands! It is vital to have in a visible place a hand cream suitable for your skin type and use it as often as necessary throughout the day.

Remember: your hand skin is unique! Make sure to choose a hydrating cream that caters to the needs of your skin!

5. Say Yes to Disinfection… Not to Exaggerations!

Use the various antibacterial gels with caution. The great quantity of alcohol they contain could dry out your hands. For daily washing, prefer a smooth, hydrating cream-soap for sensitive hands, such as the Apivita Mild Hand wash with Grapefruit & Propolis.

6. We Wipe our Hands – We Don’t Skin them

Wipe your hands with smooth moves instead of rubbing them harshly. Just tap on them with a dry towel with a piece of paper to avoid unnecessary irritations.  

7. Gloves inside the House too

Detergents and other irritative substances require proper equipment! Protective gloves are an excellent solution for house chores that involve a lot of water and detergents.

8. Love your Hands… and they Will Reward you

Your hands work day and night for you – so they deserve some pampering! A hand mask every 10 or fifteen days will keep them in excellent condition and afford them a veil of protection against the dryness of the winter wind.
