How to make hand mask with hand cream

1. Before applying hand cream, wash your hands with hand sanitizer first to avoid residual bacteria on the skin and affect the effectiveness of the hand cream.

2. After washing your hands, if conditions permit, apply a hot towel to your hands for 3-5 minutes. This can help open the pores, soften the cuticle, and make the hand cream you apply later work better.

3. After the hot compress, take two soybean-sized amounts of hand cream and apply them evenly on your hands. Put on disposable plastic gloves. If you have a rubber band, it is best to put it around your wrist to seal the gloves and prevent air from entering.

4. After waiting for 15-20 minutes, remove the hand mask and massage your hands to help the remaining hand cream be completely absorbed.

How many times a week should I use hand cream as a hand mask?

You don’t need to use hand cream as a hand mask too frequently, 1-2 times a week is enough.

Hand masks generally only need to be applied 1-2 times a week. Applying them too often will add burden to the skin of the hands, causing the skin to become dependent on the hand masks, making the skin more sensitive and fragile, and destroying its original repair function. In addition, if hand masks are applied frequently, the skin will not be able to absorb nutrients well every time. Not only will the nutrients that cannot be absorbed be wasted, but it will also cause an overnutrition situation.

The specific frequency of using hand masks can also be adjusted according to the season. In spring and autumn, the skin's own metabolism is better and the oil secretion is more, so the chance of skin becoming dry and rough is less. You can use hand masks less often. In autumn and winter, you can use hand masks more often.

The specific frequency of use of hand masks can be adjusted according to the actual condition of the hand skin. If the hand skin problems are more prominent, such as severe dehydration or even chapped hands, you can use hand masks for intensive care every day, and then reduce the frequency appropriately after the skin problems are alleviated.
