Important! Carefully study the proposed assortment, evaluate the condition of your skin and think over the tasks that the product should perform.

• Read the composition carefully. For dry epidermis, plant extracts, oils, dimethicone, panthenol, allantoin and glycerin are useful.
• Consistency is very important. If you choose a protective cream with silicone, then it can be somewhat sticky and go down with a film. With other products, this quality is incompatible. Therefore, the cream you choose should be well absorbed, not form an airtight film and not cause a sticky feeling.
• It is advisable to choose a convenient tube shape. It is quite difficult to close the tube with a twisting cap with one hand, because there will be a portion of cream on the other. Decide for yourself which capacity will be more convenient for you to use. A tube with a snap-on lid or a bottle with a dispenser are most convenient for these purposes.

Important! Do not succumb to the influence of advertising - read articles and user reviews before choosing moisturizing hand cream. An improperly selected product can aggravate the condition of the skin of the hands.
