As a result, our hands are cracked, chapped, dry or injured. It is important to protect them to prevent the effects of undesirable factors. The first step to keeping hands in good condition is to clean them.

They should be washed in lukewarm water, using neutral or slightly acidic soaps. Do not wash your hands too often, as this dries them out. The protective lipid mantle is then destroyed, which is an opening for harmful agents and many bacteria that cause skin diseases. To prevent this, hands should be lubricated with nourishing creams after every hand washing. The creams contain the right ingredients for hand care depending on their function.

For dry skin, creams should be oily. They contain in their composition, among others, glycerine, silicone, mineral oils, paraffin. Their function is to properly nourish, lubricate and moisturise the skin. They do not cause astringency or stickiness. They are ideal for protecting hands from household chores. Protective gloves play an important role in hand care. They prevent micro-injuries and provide a protective barrier against contact with water and chemicals. It is therefore important that they are used for domestic work.

Paraffin baths or wraps have a beneficial effect on the health of our hands. Paraffin wax is available in the form of a cream and can be purchased from any beauty shop.
