09/07/2021

Are you aware of how much work they do every day? Caring for and protecting your hands is more important than you could imagine. Today we offer you the 9 top tips for younger-looking hands. We dedicate a lot of effort to taking care of our skin and hair but, what about our hands? Hand care should be more than just a manicure. There’s no point to the perfect manicure if our hands look damaged and worn. The key to avoiding wrinkles and dark spots is in effective moisturizing. Follow our 9 tips to protect your hands.

1. Wash your hands in lukewarm water

High temperatures can dry skin out and contribute to dehydration. Although hot water might feel nice, we recommend using a more moderate temperature to wash your hands from cold to lukewarm. Follow this tip in winter too.

2. Use a soap that respects your skin’s pH

We should always use skin care products that balance the natural pH. This is important when it comes to hands too. Find a soap with a neutral pH that protects your skin’s natural acidity that in turn protects from bacteria and pathogens. But, careful! Don’t wash your hands more than you need too.

3.Dry your hands carefully after washing

Humidity is your skin’s enemy. To prevent irritation and cracked skin we recommend taking special care to dry your hands thoroughly after each wash.

4. Keep skin moisturized

As we already mentioned, hydration is key. Our advice is to use moisturizer on your hands at least twice a day. This is the most important point. And for optimum results, we recommend Salerm Cosmetics Prebiotic Hand Cream. Its formula with prebiotic active ingredients promotes growth, balance and the activity of your skin’s microbiota to offer protection and healthy skin from the very first use.

5. Use gloves to protect from the cold

Prevention is better than cure. In winter, don’t go anywhere without your gloves. Don’t expose your hands to high temperatures either.

6. Protect your hands from the sun

If you expose your hands to the sun, use a cream with sun protection. It will stop them from drying out and prevent premature aging.

7. Cover your hands when carrying out domestic chores

Gloves are essential when working with cleaning products. The chemical composition of this kind of products tends to be extremely harmful to skin. Protect your skin and nails from unwanted damage.

8. Exfoliate your skin once a week

When you exfoliate your body and face, don’t forget to include your hands. Eliminate any dead skin once a week.

9. Smoking is your skin’s number 1 enemy

Yellow fingers and nails? It’s hard to prevent when you smoke Smoking contributes to the deterioration of your skin and premature aging.
