Hand cream is something that many people like to use. It is so lovable. So what should be used to dilute the hand cream when it dries? Should hand cream be divided according to skin type?

How to dilute hand cream when it dries up?

If your hand cream dries up, the easiest way is to dilute it with mineral water. Also, diluting it with toner is also a good choice. It can also be diluted with glycerin, lotion, or olive oil.

1. Dilute with mineral water

When hand cream dries up, the easiest way is to dilute it with mineral water. Don't underestimate mineral water, you can find it in many moisturizing sprays. Mineral water contains a variety of mineral ingredients, which have a beauty effect on human skin. One of them is called orthosilicic acid, which has hydrating and moisturizing effects and can be quickly absorbed by the skin. Therefore, adding mineral water to hand cream can not only dilute the hand cream, but also enhance its skin care effect.

2. Dilute with toner

Toner also has a liquid texture. As a daily skin care product, it has a very good moisturizing effect. It can quickly replenish moisture to the skin and relieve dry skin. When you find that the hand cream is dry, diluting it with toner is also a very good choice. Pay attention to using toner with simple moisturizing effect. Some functional toners, such as blackhead removing toner, should not be added to hand cream.

3. Dilute with lotion

The main function of hand cream is to moisturize, while the main function of lotion is also to moisturize. The difference is that lotion is used on the face, while hand cream is used on the hands. However, the facial skin is more delicate and sensitive than the hand skin. Therefore, anything that can be used on the face can definitely be used on the hands. Moreover, the nutritional content of lotion is higher than that of hand cream, so it is best to use it to dilute hand cream.

4. Dilute with glycerin

If the hand cream dries up, you can dilute it with glycerin. Glycerin has a good moisturizing effect, and most hand creams actually contain glycerin. Therefore, there is no need to worry about glycerin conflicting with the hand cream. It’s just that glycerin is an oily item with a sticky texture. When pouring it into the hand cream, you must control the amount to avoid pouring too much glycerin and making the hand cream too greasy.

5. Dilute with olive oil

Olive oil is also a kind of oil product. It is currently recognized in the world as the most suitable oil for human nutrition. Many skin care products contain olive oil. Olive oil has a good moisturizing effect. Like glycerin, it is often added to hand creams. Therefore, it is also possible to use olive oil to dilute hand cream.

Tips:

Hand creams are packaged in two types: cans and tubes. Under normal circumstances, as long as the bottle cap is properly closed, the hand cream will not dry out. If the bottle cap is not properly closed, the hand cream will dry out, and bacteria and dust will fall into the hand cream, which will accelerate the deterioration of the hand cream and affect the use of the hand cream. Therefore, if the hand cream has completely dried up, it is not recommended to continue using it.

Should hand cream be divided according to skin type?

Generally speaking, hand creams are not divided by gender, but are divided by skin type.

For example, oily skin is characterized by fast and high oil secretion, so you cannot use a hand cream that is too thick. Oily skin is suitable for a hand cream that is light, easy to apply, and easy to absorb.

For example, dry skin is characterized by dryness and lack of water, so it is more suitable to use a hand cream with a greasy texture and strong moisturizing properties. You should know that the more oily the texture of the hand cream, the better the moisturizing effect, which is exactly what dry skin needs.

This is the end of the introduction on how to deal with dried hand cream. Please note that hand cream is divided into different skin types.
