The role of hand mask is to hydrate the hands. In autumn and winter, the skin of the hands will always appear dry and dark yellow. When caring for the hands, in addition to using hand creams, you need to use hand masks or hand waxes. Daily maintenance can avoid the damage to the skin of the hands in cold weather.
Generally speaking, there are two kinds of products in beauty salons: hand wax and composite hand mask. The complex hand mask is rich in vitamins, so it can moisturize the skin and whiten it at the same time. The moisturizing effect of hand wax is very strong, it will make hands feel warm and moist, so it is most suitable for cold and dry winter.
How to use hand mask
The correct way to use hand wax is to evenly apply it to the back of the hand after cleaning, wait for ten minutes and then pull it off, then wash the skin of the hand and moisturise it with hand cream. Use facial cleanser, soap or hand sanitizer to thoroughly clean the skin of your hands. Be careful not to use too harsh cleaning products. Use warm water as much as possible, which is gentle on the skin.
Wet your hands with a hot towel for about five minutes, or wear rubber or plastic gloves, seal the opening, immerse your hands in hot water, and use hot steam to soften the cuticles to avoid moisturizing. Use a small spoon to take an appropriate amount of hand wax and apply it evenly to the back of the hand. The entire back of the hand should be estimated, and the thickness should be kept as uniform as possible. Because the hand wax will dry out after contact with the air, it is necessary to tighten the cap in time.
After about 15 to 20 minutes, the hand mask becomes solidified or transparent on the back of the hand, and it can be gently peeled off when it does not flow casually. The waiting time can be determined by the indoor temperature or the thickness of the application can be slightly increased or decreased. After the hand mask is dry, it will show fingerprints but not dent, and then the hand mask can be peeled off.
Because the hand mask needs to be pulled at the end, it is harmful to a certain extent, and it is easy to damage the stratum corneum. Generally, it can be used once or twice a week. It is not recommended to use it frequently. If the skin is dry, you can use more hand cream and hand mask.
