In winter, hands suffer the most: cold without gloves, hot water, disinfection gel, dry air in the office. By lunchtime, the skin becomes rough, hangnails appear, and by evening cracks appear. Many people apply cream every half hour, but it either washes off or leaves a greasy mark on paper and phone.
But there is an easy way to moisturize your hands without stickiness or greasy shine. A light spray of three components, which is found in every first aid kit, is enough.
You will need:
- water – 2 tbsp. spoons
- glycerin – 1 teaspoon
- shea or almond butter – 4 drops
Mix everything in a small spray bottle. Apply 2 light sprays to the back of your hands immediately after washing or going outside. No need to rub. Just let it dry for 10-15 seconds.
Glycerin attracts moisture from the air and holds it in the skin. Oil creates an invisible protective film that prevents moisture from evaporating.
The product does not leave grease, does not stain the keyboard, and does not interfere with writing with a pen. At the same time, the skin remains soft even after washing dishes, walking without gloves, or working at the computer all day.
The effect lasts up to 10–12 hours. You can repeat it 1-2 times a day.
Question and answer:
Why do my hands get dry in winter even with cream?
Because most creams contain water, which quickly evaporates in the cold, leaving the skin even drier. Glycerin retains moisture from the inside.
Does the spray wash off with water?
Partially, but even after washing there is light protection. It is better to apply after contact with water.
