Brilio.net - Rough palms are a common condition experienced by many people. Although not dangerous, this condition can cause discomfort and interfere with daily activities. The rough texture on the hands usually occurs due to reduced skin moisture, which causes the skin surface to become dry, peeling, and sometimes itchy. This dryness can be triggered by various factors, such as weather, use of cleaning products, and daily habits that involve direct contact with water and chemicals.
A number of daily activities contribute to this condition, such as washing dishes, washing clothes, driving vehicles, and typing on a computer. In addition to causing discomfort, rough hands can also interfere with sensitivity when touching objects. In fact, a recent study from the International Journal of Dermatology states that cold weather and low humidity levels can worsen dry skin conditions, including on the palms of the hands. It is no wonder that many people, especially women who care about their skin health, feel less confident when experiencing this problem.
To overcome rough hands , it is important to know how to treat them so that this condition does not drag on. One of the main steps is to avoid triggers, although in many cases, this is difficult to do because most of the causes are related to daily habits and hygiene products that are important for health. Therefore, the use of moisturizer is an effective solution to maintain the moisture of the skin of the hands.
If you are looking for a natural alternative, there are several ingredients that can help soften your skin without having to use honey. Although honey is known to be effective as a natural moisturizer. Instead, coconut oil and jojoba oil can be a more practical choice. In a video uploaded by the TikTok account @parabellbeauty on May 15, 2021, it was stated that these two essential oils can provide extra moisture to dry and rough hands.
"This is how you get super moisturized hands," the caption on the video reads, as reported by briliobeauty.net on Thursday (3/13). In addition to coconut and jojoba oils, recent trends show that shea butter and squalane oil are also increasingly popular as natural moisturizing solutions for dry hands.
Coconut oil contains linoleic acid which can hydrate the skin, thus strengthening the top layer of the skin (skin barrier). Thanks to its ability to moisturize the skin, dry hand skin owners can use coconut oil as a skin treatment to make the skin more moist and supple.
With its antioxidant content, coconut oil can also improve skin function and protect the skin from external factors, such as causes of infection, chemicals, and allergy triggers. That way, the skin remains healthy, smooth, and free from dryness.
No exception with jojoba oil which contains vitamin E which can be used as an antioxidant to increase skin moisture and elasticity. Jojoba oil is also suitable for moisturizing dry skin that can cause irritation, scaly patches, or rough skin. Well, this one oil can also act as an emollient that can help prevent the skin from losing its moisture.
