Beautiful hands attract no less attention than a face. The skin in this area is equally vulnerable and requires good care. Despite this, only a small part of women gives due attention to their hands, and the matter is often exacerbated by the unsuccessful selection of cosmetics and its improper use. To solve this issue, it is worth considering the most popular means and highlighting the criteria for individual choice.
Hand Requirements
To understand what cosmetics should be, it is necessary to find out the features of this part of the body. In most people, the skin on their hands is quite thin and almost devoid of a lipid layer. If you add to this the constant exposure to ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind on the street and chemicals during homework, then the result will be peeling, redness and coarsening. In addition, do not forget that closer to 30 years the first signs of aging may appear. All of the above problems are difficult to hide or quickly cure, so it is best to take action before they occur.
The ingredients that make up hand care products must perform the following functions:
- create a protective layer (ordinary glycerin, silicones, paraffin will help with this);
- nourish, moisturize and smooth the skin (using lanolin, oils, plant extracts);
- relieve irritation and minor damage (panthenol, allantoin, bisabolol);
- slow down wilting (vitamin E, aloe extract, hyaluronic acid, collagen);
- serve as a stimulant for updating the upper layers of the skin and improving microcirculation (AHA-acid, urea).

- thoughtful packaging for economical use and convenient storage;
- attractive design;
- affordable price.
