What to do if the skin on your palms is rough

When winter comes, my palms become extremely rough, sometimes peeling and cracking, which makes my hands look particularly ugly. Every time I see my hands, I hope they can be white, tender and smooth. Generally, the palms are rough because of dry weather and lack of water. If you don't pay attention to hand care, your palms will become more and more rough. After washing your hands every time, you can apply some hand cream and moisturize your hands more often, and the condition will gradually improve.

Animal collagen supplement

Eat more pig's trotters, chicken feet, and meat slices to replenish the collagen in your skin and make your skin more moisturized through food supplements.

Supplement vegetable oil

Since rough skin is caused by insufficient oil secretion from the skin, you can get vegetable oil to moisturize the skin by eating more sesame seeds and walnut kernels.

Vitamin C supplementation

By eating more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C, you can also moisturize the skin and have the effect of beautifying the skin. Vegetables and fruits that are generally high in vitamin C include green peppers, broccoli, spinach, rapeseed, alfalfa, tomatoes, kiwis, oranges, and sour dates.

Physical therapy steps

Hand hygiene

Every night before going to bed, pour a basin of warm water, add an appropriate amount of olive oil, and rub your hands repeatedly for 15 minutes. This can soften the cuticle of your hands and initially improve the roughness of the skin.

Tip: If you don’t have olive oil, you can use white vinegar instead.

Hand exfoliation

Take brown sugar and honey in a 1:1 ratio, mix them in appropriate amounts, then pour them into your palms and apply them evenly. Cross your fingers and massage the backs of your hands to remove dead skin, then wash off with warm water.

Hand massage

Apply hand cream or Vaseline on both hands, first massage each hand 5 times, then massage the palms and backs of hands clockwise 10 times, and repeat for 5 minutes to allow the oil to fully moisturize the skin.

Glove protection

After the hand massage is finished, put on cotton gloves or disposable gloves, then go to bed. When you wake up the next morning, you will find that your hand skin will be shiny again.
