What to do if laundry detergent hurts your hands

We usually use laundry detergent to wash clothes. Some clothes can be washed in a washing machine, but some clothes can only be washed by hand. Everyone knows that whether it is washing with laundry detergent or washing powder, it is very harmful to hands, especially in autumn and winter. If you don’t pay attention, it is easy to cause your hands to become rough and cracked. Over time, it will cause great damage to human hands.

What should I do if laundry detergent hurts my hands?

Minimize direct contact between hand skin and detergent. When measuring detergent, use the tools recommended on the packaging, such as a spoon or lid.

After the detergent is completely dissolved and the alkaline components are fully diluted, start hand washing.

Choose neutral and mild detergents to reduce damage to the skin. When choosing detergents suitable for hand washing, pay attention to whether there are relevant instructions on the packaging.

If you have sensitive skin, it is recommended to wear plastic gloves for hand washing.

It is recommended to apply skin care products for maintenance after each hand washing.

1. Hand-washing of underwear and other items

1. Pour the laundry detergent into cold water and stir it gently with your hands.

2. Soak dry clothes in water mixed with detergent for about 30 minutes.

3. For collars, cuffs and other parts, apply the original liquid and then soak them.

4. Rub lightly and rinse.

2. Machine wash

For machine washing, it is best to pour the detergent into the detergent tank of the washing machine. If there is no detergent tank, it is recommended to pour the detergent into the water after filling the washing machine with water.

How to take care of your hand skin

Daily care

First of all, daily maintenance is the most important. Skin care is by no means an overnight thing. Even if you do a lot of troublesome work and the effect seems very good at the time, if you don’t stick to daily care, the true color will soon be revealed. So, I carry a bottle of hand cream in my bag and apply some when my hands feel dry. When applying the product, you can massage rough areas such as joints to help absorb nutrients. Another important point is that even a good hand cream can only keep the hand moisturized for a period of time. Therefore, it is necessary to apply it frequently.

Deep Cleansing

Next is a deep clean once a week. Generally, when your hands are wet after taking a shower, apply scrub, massage for a while and then rinse off. Then I will apply honey all over my hands (in addition, olive oil, crushed bananas, etc. are said to have good effects. In short, anything that is easy to get and moisturizing can be DIY), put on disposable gloves (so that it won’t stick everywhere and can help preserve moisture), kill time by reading a book or watching a TV show, and then rinse off. Finish with a thick layer of hand cream.
