Let’s look after those hands!
Cold weather, washing up, detergents and chemicals can play havoc with our skin, particularly our hands, as they bear the brunt of the work. There are several ways in which we can help to look after our hands and help keep them both clean and comfortable, no matter what life demands of them!
- Wear Gloves It might seem simple but protecting the hands from the elements can help to reduce the risk of them drying out or chapping! The natural properties of a woollen gloves will help keep your temperature regular and your hands snug!
- Cleanse Gently Use a gentle wash or soap to thoroughly cleanse hands, about 20 seconds is recommended, while you relax and enjoy the comforting warmth.
- Rinse Well Sounds obvious but thoroughly removing soap residue will help prevent irritations.
- Moisturise Regularly Use a good moisturiser every time you wash your hands. Having one next to the sink can be a good reminder!
- Consider leave on Treatments/ Gloves If your hands are really sore, a hand mask or some moisturiser and some soft cotton gloves can work wonders!
