Dry skin after washing your hands? With these tips you can prevent it

Paraffin

Hand creams that contain paraffin are the go-to when it comes to taking care of your dry hands. This substance hydrates skin, making it feel soft and supple. Paraffin is indicated on many packages under different names. Therefore, pay attention to the packaging whether it contains “Paraffinum liquidum”, “mineral oil”, “paraffin oil”, “petrolatum liquid” or “petroleum oil”.

Hand mask

Just like the skin on your face, the delicate skin on your hands also deserves a mask once in a while. You can easily make a hand mask at home with just a few ingredients. In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of full fat yogurt, 1 tablespoon oatmeal, 1 teaspoon almond oil and 1 teaspoon honey. Spread the mixture over your hands and leave for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash off with warm water, and your hands will feel silky smooth!

Keep washing your hands

Do your hands feel dry? Do not wash your hands less often. It remains very important to keep your hands as clean as possible. Repeat the above tips several times a week for optimal results and you will see that your hands feel less and less dry.
