Prevention is the best treatment

It is well known that a disease is easier to prevent than to cure. This also applies to problems with the hands. Rough skin, cracks and pimples are a disease that can be dispensed with. Prevention tools are simple and affordable:

• special detergents;
• mittens and gloves;
• warm but not hot water;
• vitamins and quality foods.

Talk about detergents

What do you wash your hands with? What do you have? In this case, it is hardly worth wondering that your fingers do not tolerate this well. Make sure that your home always has:

• soap with moisturizing ingredients;
• special hand lotion.

Such a soap is not much more expensive than usual, but it contains substances that have a beneficial effect on the skin not only of the hands, but also of the face and everything else. Such soap and smells are usually very pleasant, although if necessary you can find a variety without perfumes.

As for lotions, there are a lot of them on sale. The price range is also wide, so even a girl with a very modest income can choose something suitable.

Important! Dry hands after washing.

Gloves are the key to health

Before you remove rough skin from your fingers, remember what gloves you have.For the most part, people protect their hands in the cold season. But are your mittens reliable enough? Hands should be warm in winter. In addition, mittens and gloves should always be dry:

• Traditional knitwear is not suitable in all cases. If you only need to run from home to the metro and from the metro to work, you can safely wear any.
• For those who spend a lot of time in the air, it is better to choose something more reliable - leather or bologna on fur, for example.

Almost everyone has warm gloves or mittens. What about homework intended for work? They are often neglected, but in vain. Do not wash the toilet with your bare hands - this is both unpleasant and dangerous, especially if you have to use aggressive means. Moreover, even banal dishwashing is argued better if you get used to gloves that protect against many things:

• from caustic and aggressive substances;
• from excessive moisture;
• from injuries.

Therefore, the first rule: work with gloves whenever possible everywhere. For cleaning - rubber, plastic or polyethylene, for work in the garden and garden - thread.

What water flows from the tap?

Many people like to wash their hands with hot water. Do not do this all the time. Hot water dries the skin. It is better to adjust the jet so that the temperature is slightly higher than room temperature.

Important! Bad effect on the skin and too hard water. It is harmful not only to plumbing and a washing machine, but also to the skin of the hands. Therefore, try to use filters.
