Taking care of your Hands during Winter


Hands are the most neglected during the winter.  

# Exfoliate

Exfoliating your hands during winter is a must. Your hands tend to become dry and dark due to exposure to the rays of the sun as well as due to the chilly air. Take some scrub and massage it onto both hands and leave it for some time. Wash it off after five to ten minutes. 

# Moisturise

Start with a routine of moisturising your hands every time you wash them. Use a hand lotion or cream especially for the winters. Look for products made with natural ingredients. For the day time, use a one with an SPF of 15 and above. 

# Treat cuts and wounds 

In case you get a cut or a wound during the winter, make sure you treat it immediately. If you do not treat it, there are chances that you might get some infection and that can cause further issues.

# Wash your hands often 

It is important for you to wash your hands with a cleanser as many times as possible. This way you will not carry infections which might lead to cold or a cough. Also use a hand sanitiser as often as you can.
