A few key steps:

Regular hand washing – wash your hands with soap and warm water for at least 20 seconds. This is especially important after using the toilet, before preparing food, before eating and after coughing, sneezing or blowing your nose.

Moisturizing – Regularly moisturizing your hands with a quality moisturizing cream or lotion is important, especially after washing or exposure to water.

Sun protection – If you are in the sun for a long time, use sunscreen also on your hands, as the sun’s rays can damage your skin.Nail cutting – Regularly shorten your nails and shape them in such a way as to avoid sticking and damage.

Chemical protection – When using cleaning or household chemicals, wear gloves to protect the skin from irritation or damage.

Hydration – Make sure you drink enough water, as hydrated hands look and feel better.

A healthy diet – a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals contributes to the health of the skin on the hands.

Avoid the bad habit of biting your nails – if you have this habit, try to give it up, as biting your nails can cause damage and inflammation of the skin around your nails.

Regular skin check – pay attention to any changes on the skin of your hands, such as rashes, peeling or pain. If you notice anything unusual, consult a dermatologist.

Use protective creams – If you work in an environment where your hands are exposed to harsh conditions such as moisture or chemicals, use appropriate protective creams.
