Care for hands, hands and nails at home using various skin care products

Why do I need to take care of my hands?

Hand care is one of the components of the appearance of any woman. The skin of the hands is very vulnerable and sensitive. It has few sebaceous glands, and on the palms they are completely absent, therefore the hands themselves have a weak natural defense. After all, they contain five times less moisture than on the face skin, so they are often subjected to dehydration.

Hands regularly face the effects of the external environment - sun, wind and frost. From this, the skin becomes red, compacted and covered with cracks. During domestic work, the water-fat balance is negatively affected by chemicals for washing and washing. Without protection, the hands quickly age and various skin ailments may appear.
