Handcream 101: How And When To Use A Hand Cream For Maximum Benefits

Remember that each time you wash your hands, you must apply hand cream or moisturiser because your hands become dry and dehydrated every time you wash them. So, before stepping out of the house, apply hand cream and follow it up with sunscreen. We suggest you get your hands on the Dove Coconut Hand Cream which is infused with the natural goodness of coconut oil and almond milk. Its rich, creamy formula penetrates deep into the skin to provide intense nourishment. Even before you hit the sheets, make sure you apply a hand cream because your skin repairs itself overnight, which means, it'll repair early signs of ageing.

Just like you apply a lotion or moisturiser, similarly, just squeeze some hand cream on the back of your hand and rub the back of your other hand against it. The top of your hand is the one area that dries up faster as the skin there is thin and has no oil glands. Also, the harsh UV rays take a toll on the skin on top of your hands as compared to the palms. Therefore, make sure you don't overlook this area.

Why do you use a moisturiser on a daily basis? For extra skin nourishment and elasticity, right? That's exactly why you should include a hand cream in your skincare regimen, and in fact, lug it around in your bag for application every two hours. Applying a hand cream will not only boost the moisture levels in your skin but also prevent premature ageing and protect your skin from sun exposure. Because to be honest, it's the harsh sun rays that cause skin darkening and pigmentation on your hands. If you're avoiding a hand cream because of the greasy residue it can leave behind, then we've got a solution for that. Get your hands on the Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hand Stronger Nails Hand Cream which is lightweight and has a non-greasy formula that absorbs into the skin easily.
