Today, November 10, is "Good Hands Day. It was established because the minimum temperature usually drops below 10 degrees Celsius around this day every year, and the dryness of the skin is easily felt along with the atmosphere.
Let's treat our hands for the winter.
Perhaps it is because of my age, but my hands are always whitish and wrinkled around my fingernails even when I apply cream. I would like to take this day as an opportunity to take a fresh look at hand care.
This time, I put into practice the "effective way to apply hand cream and massage points" with reference to the website of Euskin Seiyaku, the company that applied for this anniversary. For the cream, we used "Yuskin A," a long-selling product of the company.
First, check the amount of cream to be used at one time. The standard amount is about 2 cm, which is about the distance from the tip of the index finger to the first joint of the finger. Oh, well, that's quite a lot. That's quite a lot. The amount I usually use is about a quarter of this amount...no wonder I don't feel much effect.
Use plenty of cream.
Put the cream on the back of your hand and spread it out a little at a time, overlapping the backs of both hands.
Spread it on the back of your hand to reduce stickiness.
Using the palm of the opposite hand, slide it all over. Further extend the cream by pulling each finger from the root to the fingertip.
Rub it in thoroughly.
Pull carefully from the root.
Don't forget the area around the nails. Stimulating the sides of the nail forcefully will make them healthier.
tightly (squeezing)
The area between the fingers is especially prone to dryness. Blend them together by crossing your hands.
Don't forget between your fingers.
Perhaps due to the massaging effect, your cold hands will feel warm and fluffy when you finish applying it. After working normally for a while, I touched the back of my hand and was surprised at the difference! My hands felt like they were being sucked into my hand. It was so silky smooth that I wanted everyone around me to touch it.
Incidentally, in addition to dry air and water work that deprive the hands of sebum, excessive hand washing with soap and alcohol disinfection are also said to cause rough hands. Recently, there are many products that claim to "sterilize" hands to prevent colds and food poisoning, but if you are concerned about rough hands, you may want to choose additive-free soap or hand gel that is gentle to the skin.
Since the skin is regenerated at night, it is recommended to take care of your hands before going to bed. Why don't you try using the hand cream you usually use and be aware of the amount and application method?
