Treat and Prevent Chapped Hands with Our Hand Care Products

Why do cracks appear on the hands?

Chapped skin is a condition where the skin cracks, usually occurring in winter due to the cold. Chapped skin is most commonly found on the hands or feet. Lack of moisture is the main cause of chapped skin.

Chapped skin can have various causes:

Cold weather, especially in winter.
Use of certain harsh soaps or other detergents.
Certain activities, such as manual labor.
Skin conditions such as chronic or atopic dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis.

Chapped skin is characterized by cracks that typically appear on the feet, hands, lips, and heels, and can cause significant pain and discomfort. At Soin-et-nature, we offer a selection of products to treat and prevent chapped skin.

A lack of moistureandhydration in the skin is one of the main causes of chapped skin. In winter, outdoor humidity drops significantly. Indoors, the situation is even worse due to heating, resulting in very low humidity levels. In addition, washing your hands more frequently to avoid catching a cold or other winter illnesses further increases skin dryness.

Chapped skin typically involves relatively shallow cracks and may be accompanied by flaking and, sometimes, bleeding. Cracks often appear on the extremities, such as the hands, which are relatively exposed to external aggressors like the cold. Feet can also be affected by chapped skin, although they are better protected by shoes or socks.

If you have cracked skin on your feet, you may notice cracks on your heels or on the soles of your feet.

How to Choose a Cream to Heal Cracks?

When looking for a cream to treat cracked skin, here are a few things to consider to make the right choice:

Ingredients: Look for creams containing moisturizing ingredients such as urea, hyaluronic acid, shea butter, or avocado oil. These ingredients help deeply hydrate and repair the skin.
Texture: Opt for a thick, rich cream that will form a protective barrier on the skin. Lighter creams won’t be as effective at healing cracked skin.
Proven effectiveness: Look for creams with proven results in healing cracks. Check consumer reviews or consult a pharmacist to find out which creams are most effective.
Personal preferences: It’s important to find a cream that suits your personal preferences in terms of texture, scent, and how it feels on the skin. This will encourage you to use the product regularly and achieve satisfactory results.

It’s also important to note that not all creams for cracked skin are created equal, and some may be more effective for certain parts of the body than others. For example, a hand cream may not be suitable for your feet. Don’t hesitate to ask a pharmacist for advice if you’re unsure which cream to choose to heal your cracked skin.

How should you use products for chapped skin?

For effective treatment of cracked skin, it’s important to apply the products regularly to the affected areas. We recommend applying a cream or balm in the evening, before going to bed, for deep hydration. To prevent chapped skin, remember to moisturize your skin regularly and wear comfortable shoes.

Here are a few tips for using treatments for cracked skin properly:

Clean the skin: Before applying a cream or balm for cracked heels, clean the affected area with warm water and mild soap. Gently pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
Apply the cream: Apply a sufficient amount of cream or balm to the affected area. Gently massage the skin to help the product absorb fully. Repeat the application several times a day, following the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Cover if necessary: If your cracked skin is severe, it may be helpful to cover the area with a bandage or dressing to protect the skin and promote healing. Check the product instructions to see if this step is necessary.
Moisturize regularly: To prevent new cracks from forming, moisturize your skin regularly using appropriate products. Use moisturizing creams every day and wear comfortable shoes to prevent excessive strain on your feet.
Be patient: It may take time for cracks to heal. Be patient and continue using crack treatments for as long as necessary to achieve satisfactory results.

Don’t forget to consult a healthcare professional if your cracks persist despite using appropriate treatments.

Apply rich ointments to the cracks, for example before going to sleep. Don’t hesitate to use a generous amount of cream or ointment. You can cover the area with cotton gloves or socks to prevent the ointment from spreading onto your bed.
