Three tips when buying a hand mask
Lots of people have probably adopted popular magazine tips on how to moisturise their feet by putting them in plastic bags and then wearing socks afterwards to maximise the moisturising treatment. A good hand mask has the same effect on your hands, but in a slightly more sophisticated and uncomplicated way. So you can sit on your sofa and relax while the gloves work for you with no mess whatsoever.
Since you’re already pampering your hands, why not give your cuticles some attention as well? Healthy and strong cuticles make your nails feel better and reduce the risk of your skin tearing and causing a painful hangnail along the edge of your nail.
The lists of ingredients of skincare products are often as long as they are incomprehensible to those who aren’t familiar with them. Here are three ingredients to look for when buying a hand mask:
- Collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides elasticity and firmness to your body’s skeleton and skin. Production decreases with age, but can then be taken as a supplement through both your diet and skin care products. Holland&Bartlett has answers to all questions regarding collagen you might have.
- Shea butter. A softening and wonderful butter that gives new life to dry hands.
- Snail mucin. An ingredient that’s had a major impact lately thanks to its moisturising and anti-inflammatory properties. Also referred to as just mucin on the packaging.
