Lily's Gentle Philosophy: The Fingertip Magic of Hand Cream
Whether it's the computers beside the office workers or the foam of the detergent on the hands of housewives, every moment of modern life has a hidden threat to the soft skin of your hands. Is hand cream just a solution to prevent winter dryness? No, healthy, soft, and tight hands require year-round care! Starting today, let Lily guide you through the common misconceptions and correct methods of using hand cream, and rediscover the little joys that quietly slip away from your fingertips.
Common Misconceptions
Misconception: Only apply when skin is peeling
Truth: The stratum corneum on the hands is thin, and every time you wash your hands, it takes away natural oils. Waiting until discomfort sets in not only reduces absorption but may even cause redness and stinging.
Misconception: A quick rub is enough
Truth: You need to give the nutrients in hand cream some time to penetrate into your skin, so careful and even kneading is essential. Hastily applying will only make nutrients float on the surface, greatly reducing the skin nourishing effect.
Misconception: Vaseline is omnipotent
Truth: Surfactants have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. Substances such as Vaseline can indeed lock in moisture in the short term, but they cannot help the skin develop the necessary self moisturizing ability. Over time, the skin will only become increasingly dry, or may lead to a false softness that is supple on the surface but deeply cracked underneath.
Misconception: Strong fragrance means high quality
Truth: Natural scents are subtle and refreshing, and not pungent, while overpowering cheap perfumes cannot withstand repeated taste. Moreover, the chemically synthesized essences are also easy to cause allergy, causing erythema and itching. Remember that the true aroma should linger gracefully without leaving any trace.
Scientific Use
Golden Time: Within 10 seconds after washing hands, gently wipe with a tissue until half dry, and apply when the skin's stratum corneum has the highest moisture content. Try Lily's Hyaluronic Acid Hand Cream, which contains rich moisturizing factors to help your hands stay hydrated for a long time.
Appropriate Dosage: A single dose of about 0.6g (about a size of fava), pay attention to dry areas such as fingertips and knuckles when applying. Lily's Shea Butter Hand Cream has the effect of softening stubborn dead skin in these areas, and can significantly soften dry and hard skin with long-term use.
3-Step Use: Press fingertips together, twisting gently; Press the back of the hand with your thumb to relieve stiffness; Interlace fingers and stretch for 3 seconds, repeating to prevent aging.
Overnight Repair: Thickly apply Lily's Night Repair Cream before bedtime. It forms a protective film as you sleep. After waking up, touch your hands and experience a velvet-like texture.
