The dermatologist named the main mistakes in hand skin care in winter

Dermatologist, trichologist Irina Kotova told about the main mistakes when caring for the skin of hands in winter.

In an interview with Radio 1 on January 29, the expert explained how to properly warm your hands after returning from the cold. According to her, it is first necessary to wait until the general body temperature normalizes, and do not rub the skin, do not warm your hands on the battery and do not put them under hot water, as this can dry out and damage the skin. After warming up, the specialist recommended applying a cream.

Kotova also advised to lubricate your hands with a thick, greasy cream 5-10 minutes before going outside. In addition, the doctor noted that it is better to cover your face with a scarf in the cold and use a moisturizer with a dense, non-gel texture so that the cream can be absorbed and create a protective film.
