Hand cosmetics: types and rating of brands

Beautiful hands attract as much attention to themselves as the face. The skin in this area is just as vulnerable and needs good care. Despite this, only a small part of women pay due attention to their hands, and the matter is often aggravated by poor selection of cosmetics and its incorrect use. To resolve this issue, it is worth considering the most popular means and highlighting the criteria for an individual choice.

To understand what cosmetics should be, it is necessary to find out the features of this part of the body. For most people, the skin on the hands is quite thin and practically devoid of a lipid layer. If you add to this the constant exposure to ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind on the street and chemicals while doing housework, then the result will be peeling, redness and roughness. In addition, do not forget that closer to the age of 30, the first signs of aging may appear. All of the above problems are difficult to hide or heal quickly, so it is best to take action before they appear.

The ingredients in hand care products should do the following:

• create a protective layer (ordinary glycerin, silicones, paraffin will help with this);
• nourish, moisturize and smooth the skin (using lanolin, oils, plant extracts);
• remove irritation and minor damage (panthenol, allantoin, bisabolol);
• slow down wilting (vitamin E, aloe extract, hyaluronic acid, collagen);
• serve as a stimulant to renew the upper layers of the skin and improve microcirculation (AHA acids, urea).

In addition, cosmetics should have a number of additional qualities:

• pleasant texture and aroma;
• the ability to quickly absorb and leave no residue;
• clever packaging for economical use and convenient storage;
• attractive design;

Do not forget that there are cosmetics that are focused on a certain time of the year:

• in spring and summer, protection from solar radiation becomes one of the most important tasks;
