'Hand Cream' Save My Dry, Rough Hands

These days, because it is the change of seasons and the weather is making skin even drier, and because of the coronavirus there has been an increase in the use of hand sanitizer and disinfectant, isn’t your skin getting dry more easily?

Regular hand cream and functional hand cream

Will moisture remain even after washing?

When we washed our hands after applying a hand cream said to provide good moisture, the moisture level dropped.

In particular, functional hand creams are said to maintain moisture even after washing, so why did the moisture level drop?

No matter how good a hand cream you apply, if you wash your hands, the hand cream contains surfactants and various other ingredients,

so ingredients that help moisturize the hands can be washed away to some extent. That is why it is important to apply hand cream again after washing your hands to prevent dry skin.

Choose a hand cream that suits you by comparing moisture and stickiness, such as cream types, balm types, and gel types. Use hand cream to keep your hands moisturized and protect them from dryness caused by hand sanitizers and disinfectants!

If your hands are already becoming dry, apply hand cream frequently and visit a dermatologist for treatment!
