After prolonged frosts and wearing gloves, many notice that the skin on their hands has become dry, rough, and small cracks have appeared on their fingers. This is not necessarily vitamin deficiency or allergies. The most common cause is dry indoor air, frequent washing and irritation from wool gloves.
But you can restore softness to your hands without expensive creams and masks. One simple remedy is enough, which is found in almost every kitchen.
How to do:
- Lightly heat some olive or sunflower oil in a water bath. It should be warm, but not hot.
- Apply it to clean, dry hands, paying special attention to the fingers and back.
- Massage the skin for two to three minutes.
- Leave the oil to soak in for 20-30 minutes. You can wear cotton gloves to enhance the effect.
- If there is any grease left, lightly blot your hands with a paper towel; no need to rinse.
Repeat 2-3 times a week. This is enough for the skin to restore the barrier and stop peeling.
Within two to three weeks you will notice that your hands have become softer, smoother and do not feel tight after washing.
