There are a lot of ways to preserve the normal skin condition during the cold season. You can visit the beauty salon, where depending on the condition of the skin you will be offered procedures for restoring the natural balance.
This can be a variety of spa treatments with exfoliation of coarse cells, intense hydration and nutrition. The recuperating procedure, like warming up and wrapping, that increases the effectiveness of the products (lotions, creams), which are applied after the procedure, is gaining "turns". Before wrapping, make a peeling with a gentle scrub, which prepares the skin of the hands. Then the hands tightly wrapped with a plastic film to exclude the access of oxygen and stimulate the penetration of useful substances. During warming up the pores of the skin open, there is an intense flow of blood, which only contributes to the absorption of creams. Warming and wrapping is performed no more often than once a week.
With the advent of winter, "hot manicure" is becoming more and more popular. The procedure involves soaking in a special heated balsam with only fingertips. In the balm for "hot manicure" there are substances that have a beneficial effect on the skin of hands: paraffin, animal protein, vegetable and mineral oils, which under the influence of temperature begin to penetrate intensively into the skin, nourishing and moisturizing it. After five minutes, the hand is pulled out from the bath with the balm, and the rest of the liquid is rubbed into the skin with massage movements. Then you can hold any traditional manicure, or simply perceive the "hot manicure" as a separate service.
Hand care in winter can be done with paraffin therapy. Paraffinotherapy is a very effective procedure, the instant effect of which persists for a week. The essence of the procedure is as follows: hands slightly above the wrists are densely smeared with a nutritious cream, then the hands are several times immersed in a bath with heated wax. Then hands wrapped in plastic wrap to create the effect of the sauna, and already on the wrap warm warm terry mittens for spa treatments. It takes 10-15 minutes to soak up the cream, after which the wax is easily removed with the film, and the rest of the cream is rubbed into the skin of the hands with massage movements.
But "hot" procedures have a number of contraindications. This varicose veins, high blood pressure, diabetes, psoriasis, thyroid disease, as well as damaged skin. Specially for such people there is a service of "cold" paraffinotherapy. The procedure is carried out with the help of a spa cream mask, which is also applied generously to the skin. Its biologically active substances based on beeswax gently exfoliate dead cells, promote the healing of microcracks, moisturize, and ultimately make the skin soft and supple.
But this is only a salon procedure. Do not think that your hands will withstand unfavorable conditions without your help. But to maintain a good hand, believe me, you need very little. First of all, it's a soap. It depends on the choice of soap depends on whether your hands will suffer, or not. From time to time, use a hand scrub to make the cream bring the greatest effect. Once a week, make a home wrap: hands thoroughly spread cream and dress cotton gloves. This is done, of course, at night. To care for the cuticle, which dries much more than the skin of the hands, any cuticle oil is perfect. The producers call it Cuticle Oil, and, in addition to its direct function, it will give you a wonderful fruity smell. Well than not spa procedures, just at home?
Thus, keeping your hands in winter, you will never get into trouble in the form of dryness, peeling, or cracking of the skin of the hands.
