6 Tips To Avoid Dry Cuticles

Do you have problems with unsightly cuticles? We at Lopalmed have the surprisingly simple solution. In today's blog post, we will show you how to get rid of dry skin. Often, especially in winter, we struggle more with the unsightly skin around the nail. Even when using household products or disinfectants, we can lose moisture in the upper skin layer, leading to unsightly dry patches. Some of us unfortunately suffer from naturally dry hands. Today, we have the best tips for you on how to achieve beautiful and soft hands again.

How do I know if my cuticles are dry?

If the skin around your nail is peeling, cracked, or can be pulled away, it is a sign that you need more care for your hands or feet. Damaged cuticles can, in the worst case, lead to the entry of bacteria and cause inflammation.

How to treat your dry skin around the nail

1. Use a cream with plenty of moisture daily. Here we can recommend the Lopalmed Repair Cream. This binds moisture in the upper skin layer, keeps the hands soft and supple, and protects against dry spots.
2. Drink, drink, drink. Hydration is crucial for healthy skin. Start right after getting up with a glass of water. Throughout the day, you should consume at least 2 liters of fluid. Your skin will look fresh and healthy.
3. Regularly remove your cuticles. This means you should regularly remove your cuticles on your hands and feet. Dead cuticles should not just be pushed back but removed directly. Cutting the cuticles often leads to worsening conditions rather than improvement. It is said that once you cut, you always cut. In our Lopalmed Hand & Foot Care Box, you will find the Horn and Cuticle Remover. This has an astonishing immediate effect. Simply apply, let it sit for 3 minutes, and you can easily remove your skin. You can do this with the gentle, rounded metal spatula. This removes your skin very gently without injuring it – thus, the growth of the cuticles is not unnaturally stimulated.
4. Wear gloves when washing dishes or submerging your hands in water for extended periods. Water and cleaning agents can dry out your hands. If you forget the gloves, please apply the Lopalmed Repair Cream afterward. This contains urea and allantoin. Both substances protect your upper skin layer and keep it healthy.
   
5. Consume enough vitamins. Cracked cuticles can also be a sign of a zinc or vitamin E deficiency. Eat more foods rich in essential omega-3 fatty acids, such as spinach or salmon. If your nails are brittle, it may be a sign of insufficient biotin in your body.
