Hands are constantly exposed to external factors that can compromise their health and beauty, making them dry, chapped and dehydrated. Cold, dry weather, the use of harsh soaps, frequent washing and ageing are among the most common causes of this problem. But how can we prevent it and treat it effectively?

Dehydrated hands: Causes

Dehydrated hands can result from several factors, often combined. Causes in winter, for example, include cold air and wind robbing the skin of moisture, while indoor heating further reduces hydration. Frequent washing with excessively hot water or harsh soaps can also remove the skin's natural layer of protective oils, causing dryness and irritation. Prolonged exposure to the sun and UV rays can damage the skin, reducing its elasticity and ability to retain moisture. With age, the skin progressively loses its ability to retain water, becoming more fragile and dry.

Dehydrated hands: Remedies

Fortunately, there are several ways to treat dehydrated hands, simple remedies to restore their natural softness and hydration. First of all, it is essential to regularly use moisturising creams specifically for hands. Opting for products rich in ingredients such as glycerine, shea butter, almond oil or hyaluronic acid can make all the difference, thanks to their nourishing and moisturising properties. It is also advisable to avoid excessively hot water when washing your hands, preferring instead lukewarm water to preserve the skin's natural oils. Choosing mild soaps, formulated to respect the skin's natural balance, can also help prevent dryness.

Another useful tip is to wear protective gloves during household activities, such as washing dishes or using chemicals, to avoid further damage to the skin. Drinking plenty of water, at least eight glasses a day, is crucial not only for general health, but also to keep the skin supple and hydrated. Nutrition also plays a crucial role: a balanced diet, rich in vitamins A, C and E, can help maintain healthy skin. Fruits, vegetables and healthy fats, such as those found in avocados and nuts, are particularly beneficial.
