How to deal with hand redness in winter

It is compulsory to have a winter skin care routine. If you will not change your usual skin care practice it will affect your complexion in winter. Generally in winter most of us suffer from reddening and peeling of skin. Our skin starts getting drier and the cold weather makes it rough that is why it starts reddening. It is some kind of inflammation caused by drying and low temperature. You need to use some protecting cream which moisturizes your skin and stops it from drying faster.
Generally in the cold seasons wear gloves or mittens. It protects hand skin from drying and reddening. Apparently a little warm milk will soothe away the redness in your hands if you rub it into your hands each night.
When your hands become red, you can make cycle of bathes from cold and hot water, alternating them. That is so-called contrasting hands-bathes for you. Repeat the procedure 10-15 times finishing with cold bath. Before sleep massage with nourishing enriched cream is recommended

Every day wash hands with warm water adding some drops of milk or cream. Redness of hands will disappear little by little. Bathes with sea salt have great effect in this case. Take 200 g. of sea salt and add 1 liter of water and boil for some time. Then cool a little and you’ll get hot “sea” water. Put hands into it for 15 minutes and then put hands into cold water for 5 minutes. Repeat some times. After this procedure, put any cream on the hands.
These tips will help to prevent what is commonly known as winter itch or redness of hands.
