DRY SKIN OF HANDS IN WINTER
03.Dec.2021
The main thing about hand skin care. In cold weather, you should wear gloves or mittens.
Make it a habit to regularly put them on before going out. Gloves and mittens will protect your skin from sudden changes in temperature and wind. If you always wear gloves or mittens in cold weather, your skin will stop chapping and flaking.
Apply nourishing cream to the skin of your hands.
The most affordable and fastest way to soften the skin is cream, milk or balm. It is recommended to use them at least two or three times a day, and in current circumstances it is absolutely necessary to replenish the moisture balance after each hand washing and use of an antiseptic. For cold weather, rich textures with beneficial compositions are suitable: look for vitamins D and E, ceramides, soothing plant extracts (chamomile, calendula, white or green tea) and oils - shea, coconut, shea and jojoba are especially effective. You can also use Radevit Active - an ointment containing vitamins A, D3 and E on a water-emulsion basis. Vitamin A accelerates regeneration, vitamin D3 improves skin immunity, vitamin E is a natural antioxidant. Radevit Active supports local immunity in the skin and provides a natural antioxidant effect. This is very important for adapting to new climatic conditions and protecting the skin from aggressive environmental influences.
Hand masks.
The easiest way is to apply any nourishing cream to clean hands in a thick layer, massage lightly and put on cotton gloves (special cosmetic ones) for 30 minutes or the whole night - the next morning the skin will be incredibly velvety. You can do a light peeling first if there are no peelings on the skin.
Use a gentle hand sanitizer.
Now you can’t go without a disinfectant, and it’s great that you can sanitize your hands in most public places, including shops, shopping centers and all public places. But inside large containers there may be alcohol diluted with water - such a solution disrupts the skin microbiome and dries it out until burning and wounds appear. If possible, use your own sanitizer and pay attention to its texture and composition.
Be sure to regularly humidify the indoor air.⠀
The heating season has arrived. Naturally, the air becomes drier, which means the epidermis lacks moisture. The situation gets worse if you also turn on an additional heater. A humidifier will solve the problem. Air humidification, by the way, will have a positive effect on your overall health and reduce the risk of viral diseases. The optimal indoor humidity level is 40–60%.
Internal support.
Any problem must be approached comprehensively, so even with active moisturizing, the skin can still remain dehydrated and irritated. Its condition directly depends on nutrition, so in winter it is worth including foods rich in vitamin D and omega-3 in your diet: fish oil, salmon, pink salmon, herring, chum salmon, pike caviar, tuna, beef liver, egg yolk, cow's milk, butter butter, cheese, cottage cheese. They accelerate regeneration processes and prevent the destruction of collagen, a protein that ensures smoothness and elasticity. Remember to drink clean drinking water every day.

Cosmetic hand care – a necessity or a whim?
Elena KALASHNIKOVA, dermatocosmetologist
Our hands are always visible. Even a quick glance at the hands can tell a lot about the habits of their owner and his attitude towards himself.
Well-groomed, healthy, beautiful, they are an indicator of success, self-esteem, and dignity.
During the day, hands manage to do a hundred things and therefore especially need attention and care.
The skin of the hands is especially vulnerable because it contains very little water.
The number of sebaceous glands on its surface is small, and on the palms they are completely absent.
It is not surprising that the aging process in the skin of the hands is 10 times more intense than in the skin of the face.
Natural factors such as ultraviolet radiation, frosty or, conversely, dry and hot air, dirt, and aggressive chemicals also contribute to the loss of external attractiveness of the skin of the hands.
Thus, frequent and prolonged exposure to detergents leads to disruption of local immunity and the development of skin diseases, including allergic dermatitis and eczema.
Incredible, but true: most of us pay almost no attention to hand care - except to apply cream if the skin suddenly becomes dry and rough.
Meanwhile, such indifference to your own hands can lead to the appearance of wrinkles, small cracks and age spots.
That is why hand skin care should be of high quality and regular.
Dermatocosmetologists advise taking care of your hands no less carefully than your face.
So moisturizer is a must! And you need to use it not occasionally, but at least once a day - so as not to know what peeling, irritation, “pimples” and other troubles are.
If the skin of your hands is dry, the cream should be applied after each contact with water and always after washing your hands.
By the way, for the latter it is better to use products with a neutral pH and softening additives (lanolin, proteins, waxes, various oils, fatty acids, etc.).
Don’t think that hand creams are the simplest and most inexpensive cosmetic product. World-famous companies devote no less time to their creation than to the development of other care products.
The best hand cream. How to choose?
First of all, define your expectations from the product.
Protection
The protective cream envelops the skin of your hands like gloves and creates an imperceptible protective barrier against water, cold, and aggressive substances.
Hydration and nutrition
Moisturizing creams are quickly absorbed and are recommended for use in the warm season. Nourishing products are suitable for owners of very dry and irritated skin and for use in cold weather.
Treatment
Therapeutic creams act on the skin of the hands more intensively, promote its regeneration, and fight microcracks and roughness. Most often these are rather “heavy” products recommended for occasional use.
Anti-age
Anti-aging creams can be classified as a separate group.
After 40-45 years, the already thin and dry skin of the hands becomes even drier and thinner, and its water balance is disturbed.
That is why anti-age hand products contain an increased amount of nutritional and moisture-retaining components, primarily vegetable oils, as well as antioxidants and components that accelerate regeneration (vitamins A and E, coenzyme Q10, bioflavonoids). They not only moisturize and nourish, but also smooth out wrinkles and lighten age spots.
In late autumn and winter, to prevent abrasion of the skin of your hands, you can use products with AHA acids (creams, gommages, masks, etc.).
New product from England for the beauty of your hands – COSFO 0
The formula of the new cream in the COSFO line is designed specifically for daily care, restoration and protection of the skin of the hands.
The secret of its effectiveness is its balanced composition: the active components of oat extract, oat oil and oat flour instantly soften, eliminate the feeling of dryness and discomfort, soothe the skin and stimulate cellular regeneration. Sunflower and shea butters restore the natural balance of skin moisture, and vitamin E improves its elasticity and firmness and slows down the aging process.
Panthenol moisturizes and softens, providing resistance to adverse environmental factors.
It is no coincidence that oats were chosen as the main component of the cream.
It is famous for its powerful softening and soothing effect, provides active hydration, and restores the skin's protective barrier.
Oat extract has antioxidant properties, prevents skin aging under the influence of ultraviolet radiation, tightens it and activates regeneration processes.
The cream gives your hands a feeling of softness and velvety and forms a breathable film on the skin, thus providing additional protection from external influences (hard water, household chemicals, wind, heat, frost).
Thanks to its delicate texture, it is quickly absorbed without leaving sticky greasy marks and is comfortable to use.

Hand care rules
Wash your hands properly
Use only warm water: too cold will cause peeling and discomfort on your hands, and too hot will degrease the skin, depriving it of its natural protection. After washing, wipe your hands dry - this will help avoid the appearance of hangnails.
Choose the right soap
Preferably with natural ingredients, liquid or gel form. Leave ordinary hard soap, and even more so laundry soap, for other purposes.
Use gentle exfoliation or scrubs
They will help to delicately remove dead skin particles that prevent the penetration of moisturizers and nutrients into the skin.
Wear rubber gloves
Protect your hands when washing dishes and when handling liquids. If it is impossible to use gloves for one reason or another, apply a special protective cream to your hands - it will prevent contact of harmful substances with the skin.
Apply nourishing cream regularly
Every day. Or better yet, after each contact with water or other liquids. Make it a rule to nourish your skin at any time of the year, and especially in winter.
Protect your skin in the cold
To avoid redness, apply protective cream to your hands an hour before going outside.
Give a hand massage
Massage perfectly copes with fatigue, which means it helps maintain youth and beauty.
Pamper your hands
Hand masks at least once a week are a must!
Indications for this method, in addition to dry hand skin, are:
- dry and dehydrated skin with reduced elasticity;
- trauma to the skin, the need to quickly restore it after laser resurfacing, medium chemical peels, plastic surgery;
- the need to prepare the skin for ultraviolet radiation (tanning);
- pigmented skin;
- skin with increased sebum secretion.⠀
The effect of the procedure will last for 6-12 months, but you will notice changes immediately - skin hydration, well-groomed skin, smoothing out most wrinkles, hiding dark spots, lightening age spots. ⠀ For consultation and to make an appointment, you can always call +375(33)324-30-84 (Viber, Telegram, WhatsApp) or write via feedback.
