Hand Creams

Women have been caring about their appearance since ancient times. They made hand creams of herbal infusions, aromatic oils, and ointments derived from vegetable and animal fats. In the Mediterranean, most skincare products were made of olive oil, and in Oceania — of coconut, palm, and castor oil. Modern creams represent a composition of fatty compounds, water, and active ingredients. Most of them are made according to the recipes of our ancestors.

Save your hands from dryness and early aging!

You can find a wide assortment of hand creams on MAKEUP. They are aimed both at addressing specific problems and at universal care. There are soothing, silicone, glycerin, antibacterial, healing, anti-aging, whitening, and many other types (including organic ones) in stock. In addition, you can buy professional liquid products with a dispenser.

• Velvety soft hands are the subject of pride and admiration.
• Usually, the creams contain a label indicating the type. However, it is necessary to learn more about the effects of the ingredients before making a choice.
• Hyaluronic acid moisturizes and improves extensibility.
• Vitamins. The most useful vitamins for the hands are A and E. They keep your epidermis healthy, block the activity of free radicals, and have rejuvenating properties.
• Oil extracts (particularly, jojoba, avocado, and aloe vera) intensely moisturize and soften, while tea tree has soothing properties and fights inflammation.
• Urea is also included in many remedies for damaged and dry skin. This substance effectively moisturizes, softens, and smooths out your skin. Lanolin nourishes your hands, while collagen maintains elasticity.

How to select and apply?

Choose the products that solve specific problems and suit a certain type. Most of the regenerating processes take place at night, so make sure to apply the cream before sleep to enhance its regenerating, rejuvenating, and moisturizing properties. The night cream is rather thick and oily. If you don’t have it, apply the day one— don’t leave your skin unattended.

When choosing a proper item, you should take into account not only the type but also the season.

In the hot summer period, our hands need moisturizing care to prevent dryness, and in winter — a nourishing one that protects your hands from cold. If you want to enhance the effect, make a warm hand bath with herbs or sea salt before the application of the product. In winter, you should apply the cream 20 minutes before leaving the home; otherwise, the water molecules will freeze on your skin and injure it.
