Do you need to wash your hands after using hand cream as a hand mask? What are the benefits of applying hand cream at night?

Hand cream is a must-have skin care product in winter. It can effectively improve the roughness of the hand skin and prevent dryness and cracking. Hand cream can also be used as a hand mask. So what should you pay attention to when making a hand mask? Let’s watch it together.

Many people choose to apply hand masks at home using moisturizing hand cream, but they don’t know whether they need to wash their hands after using the hand mask? Let’s learn about it today.

Do you need to wash your hands after using hand cream as a hand mask?

There is no need to wash off the hand cream used as a hand mask. However, before doing the hand mask, you need to wash your hands first to ensure that your hands are clean. Then using hand cream to protect your skin will have a better effect. Hand cream itself is a product that does not need to be washed off. It can be absorbed by the skin after being used on the skin and puts little burden on the skin.

However, when using hand cream as a hand mask, you need to be careful not to apply too much, because the hand cream itself has a high oil content. A small amount of hand cream can be absorbed by the skin, but applying too much may cause greasy skin. If you apply a small amount of hand cream, you can wear transparent plastic gloves and decide when to take off the gloves by observing the absorption of the hand cream.

Transparent plastic gloves are very convenient to use for hand masks. They can isolate the skin from the air, prevent the hand cream from evaporating by the air, and keep the skin of the hands moisturized, wrapping nutrients and moisture in them. Finally, they penetrate into the skin by fitting the skin. This is scientific hand care. Try not to sleep with gloves after applying a hand mask, because the gloves isolate the hands from the air, which will cause the skin of the hands to be too delicate after being soaked for a long time, and the skin of the hands will become very sensitive.

The advantage of using hand cream as a hand mask is that it does not need to be washed. If too much hand cream is applied, you can also wash it directly with running water. There is no need to use any cleaning products. You can dry your hands directly when they feel very lubricated.

What are the benefits of applying hand cream at night

1. The original function of hand cream

Different types of hand creams have different functions. For example, repairing hand creams have the functions of resisting aging and repairing wrinkles; moisturizing hand creams have the function of moisturizing.

2. The skin can absorb better

The skin's metabolism is fast at night, so its absorption capacity is much stronger than during the day. When you use hand cream at night, the skin can better absorb its nutrients, allowing the hand cream to play a greater role.

3. Reduce dust and bacteria

Most people are outdoors during the day and indoors at night. Hand cream has a frosty texture, is relatively thick and has a certain adsorption capacity. If you apply it while outdoors, your hands will inevitably be contaminated with dust and bacteria in the air after application. While indoors at night, the indoor air environment will be better and less dust and bacteria will fall on your hands.

Therefore, applying a thick layer of hand cream before going to bed at night is more helpful for hand care.
