Moisturised Beautiful Hands Are Your Calling Card

Are there ways to fix it?

Keeping our hand skin in shape 356 days a year is a big challenge. Especially winter aura disfavours our hands. Constant temperature shifts, snow and frost irritate them. 

Undoubtedly, winter heavily tests our hands. Their skin often turns dry, reddened, extremely stinging and cracking. Plus frosty months bring frequent body microelement and vitamin shortages. Mainly silicon, zinc, potassium, magnesium and vitamins B and F. Illness, colds and general body weakening come easily, affecting hand and nail skin condition.

What can we do to guard hand skin against excessive cold and winter moisture exposure?

• Wearing gloves – forgetting once shows its hand condition impact.
• Balanced diet – supplement microelement and vitamin shortages with dairy, cocoa, wholegrain cereals, seeds, nuts, dried fruit.
• Hand compresses and baths – nourishing, based on e.g. linseed, aloe or olive oil.
• Oiling – an effective, long-popular skin and hair care form, also effective on hand skin and nail condition. Use easily available castor, tea oils and the above olive oil.
• Paraffin treatment – a basic salon treatment bringing very good winter results. Paraffin forms a natural moisture-locking coat. Plus softens and regenerates skin.
• Happy Hands Diego della Palma treatment – a snail slime, colloidal oat flour and loofah powder (sponge gourd fruit) treatment. Effects show immediately: soft, velvety hand skin, improved hydration, eliminated roughness and cracking, unified skin tone, better nails and cuticles.

Remember hands are our calling card, betraying age and health condition. All nail stylings look better on groomed hands. So care for them year-round, not just in winter.
