Ways to choose an effective hand cream 18:11

When choosing a hand cream, you should carefully study its composition. Elena Noskova, founder and CEO of the natural cosmetics brand MeNoAge, told socialbites.ca.

“The most important thing in any cosmetic product is its composition. Pay attention to the ingredients and their order: the active ingredients indicated on the label should not be in the last place, because the closer to the beginning, the higher the content,” he explained.

According to the expert, hand cream should contain natural oils and vitamins.

“Deep hydration will be provided by natural oils, such as: shea, coconut and avocado. Vitamin E will also have a nourishing effect, and squalane will create an invisible protective barrier on the surface of the epidermis to retain moisture, Noskova said.

Products that should not contain parabens, silicones, and petroleum products.

“You should stay away from parabens and silicones: the former can cause an allergic reaction, while the latter will only give a superficial effect. The same goes for petroleum products, including vaseline, paraffin and mineral oils,” added the brand founder.

The expert recommends taking into account the composition as well as the purpose.

“It is important to remember that hand creams are of different types: moisturizing, restorative, rejuvenating. Therefore, in the latter case, I would recommend choosing products with peptides – they help prevent the first age-related changes and have a lifting effect. Components such as arbutin and routine even out skin tone, prevent the formation of vascular networks and reduce puffiness,” she concluded.
