Steps to Applying The Correct Hand Cream
Warm Your Hands Firstly
Now that temperatures have plummeted, women’s hands can feel cold if they are not careful when they go out, and even more so if they are cold. However, if you rush to apply hand cream when your hands are still cold, the active ingredients inside will not fully penetrate. Therefore, before applying hand cream, first rub both hands together lightly until the hands feel warm.
Moisturize Before Applying Hand Cream
Women know that when applying cream to their face, they first apply lotion to moisturize it, and the same applies to hand care. Moisturize your hands before applying hand cream.
When choosing a hand lotion, you can use the same lotion you use on your face or buy an affordable lotion. Moreover, it doesn’t hurt.
Hands tend to dry out when exposed to water, so it is best to dry your hands after washing them and then apply lotion. Then apply hand cream. This will greatly improve the effectiveness of the hand cream and make the moisturizing effect more pronounced.
Apply Mainly to The Back of The Hands
The amount of hand cream to be applied is usually the size of a cherry, or 3-4 cm for hand creams in tubes. Spread the cream on the palm of the hand and then apply it with both hands. This will warm the cream and help it to be absorbed.
Carefully spread the cream evenly and evenly, focusing on the back of the hands, which tend to be dry, by completely enveloping the back of the hand with the palm of the hand. Be careful not to apply too much pressure to avoid damaging the skin.
To apply, rub both hands together crosswise.
Massage Your Fingertips to Revitalize Blood Flow
When applying hand cream, if you massage your fingertips, you can effectively promote blood circulation. In addition to helping to brighten the skin tone of the hands, it also has the amazing effect of promoting warmth throughout the body.
Fingertip massage method is to use a hand of the thumb and forefinger one by one massage of the other hand of each finger, pay attention to the first slightly harder to rub the fingertips, and then released. 10 fingers all massage is completed, the next step is to press each finger and between the fingers of the part, the strength to can feel very comfortable for the most appropriate. This kind of massage can not only relieve muscle stiffness, but also help people relax physically and mentally good effect. However, it is important to note that massage, do not use the nails to massage.

Hand care is best done about 5 times a day, you can wash your hands every time after the free time to take out the hand cream to, according to the above points to carry out hand care. I believe that in the long run, your hands will be incredibly soft and moisturized.
A Few Low-level Mistakes in Applying Hand Cream
Mistake #1: Rubbing directly without washing hands
Our hands are in contact with the most things every day, stained with all kinds of bacteria. At this time if you do not wash your hands directly on the hand cream, not only can not play a good skin care effect, but also nourish bacteria, which is very unfavorable to protect the hands of the method.
So friends before rubbing hand cream, no matter how to clean the hand skin first.
Mistake 2: The whole family with the same one
For the sake of convenience, the whole family only uses one hand cream, but the age level of the skin is different, if you use the same one, it will not work at all. Our hand skin is closely related to our age and skin type.
In terms of age, young people can choose moisturizing effect better hand cream to moisturize and nourish the skin, while older people in addition to moisturizing and nourishing, but also need to repair and lighten the spots, so the needs are not the same.
Mistake 3: Using face cream instead of hand cream
Many women like to use the leftover face cream to use as hand cream, in fact, the effect can not reach.
Because the cream is designed according to the facial skin, with the cream instead of hand cream, you will find that the degree of nourishment and moisturizing power are far from enough, not that can not be used at all, but a bit of a waste. It’s a waste, not to say that you can’t use it, but it’s a waste. That’s why it’s better to choose a hand cream for your baby.
Mistake #4: Using expired hand creams
It’s a shame to throw away expired face care products, but it’s certainly not a good idea to use it on your hands! Maintenance products, once opened for use, have been exposed to microbial contamination in the environment and air oxidation, containing the active ingredients will gradually lose efficiency from the fresh period, until the rancidity and decay. Place on a long time or expired skin care products for the skin pressure root lost “plus” effect, and even oxidized and rancid oil will accelerate the aging of the skin and irritation, like eating fried many times back to the pot of oil, this oil on the body is not beneficial and harmful. Do not think that the smell of oil consumption, on behalf of the care products are not bad, in fact, care products added spices, can make the product has been deteriorated still do not smell the rancid flavor.
