What vitamins are missing for hangnails on hands

Hangnails are a symptom that many people experience. Although hangnails do not threaten human health, the appearance of hangnails also means that there are certain problems with the human body. For example, if the body lacks vitamin C or vitamin B6, hangnails are very likely to appear. So, what should you do if you have hangnails on your hands? Below we will introduce in detail the causes, solutions and care methods of hangnails on hands!

1. Causes of hangnails

Hangnails are common. The reason is that the hands are dehydrated and lack vitamin B6 or vitamin C. As long as you supplement these vitamins, the problem of hangnails can be easily solved. In addition to taking some vitamins, you should also eat more foods containing vitamin B6 and vitamin C, such as beans, shelled food and vegetables.

2. What to do if you have hangnails on your hands

When you have a hangnail on your hand, don't always rush to pull it out. Because the barbs are connected to the muscles, pulling them off with your hands or other tools will not only be painful, but will also injure the surrounding skin and even cause bleeding and hand infection. The correct way is to soak the hand with hangnails in water, wait until the nail and surrounding skin become soft, cut them off with small scissors, and then apply hand cream. Alternatively, you can use a nourishing oil containing vitamin E to massage the area around your nails and knuckles to remove hangnails and soften rough skin. Many people think that glycerin is cheap and easy to use, but it is a "hygroscopic moisturizing" moisturizing ingredient. The moisturizing principle is to achieve the moisturizing effect by absorbing moisture in the air. If there is very little moisture in the air and it is very dry, it will absorb moisture in the skin to achieve moisturizing. Generally speaking, the air in the south is more humid, while the air in the north is dry and lacks water; so when using glycerin for skin care, you must pay attention to regional differences.

2. Care methods for long barbs

In dry weather, try to use high-fat soap or oil-containing hand sanitizer to wash your hands. Dry them with a towel immediately after washing and apply hand cream. The skin needs acidic protection. After drying your hands, dip them in vinegar once a day. This will form an acidic protective film on the skin surface, which is very effective in protecting your hands.

Taking advantage of the weekend to do some special hand care is a good way to maintain your hands. Before going to bed at night, soak your hands in hot water for 20 minutes, then massage them for 10 to 20 minutes to speed up blood circulation and promote the secretion of sebaceous glands. Put the hand cream or lotion in the microwave, heat it slightly at a low temperature, apply it on your hands, and wear thin cotton gloves to sleep. The next morning, your hands will become very soft and smooth. If you do this care once a week, the skin of your hands will be greatly improved.
