Dry hands: what are the causes?
Excessive dryness of the hands is indicated by a feeling of skin tightness and the appearance of cracks. The skin begins to peel, itch and do not look very aesthetically pleasing. Such deterioration may be associated with unsatisfactory health indicators of the body, as well as environmental factors to which the delicate surface of the hands is constantly exposed.
Among the internal reasons that provoke a lack of moisture in the dermis, cosmetologists note:
- dermatological diseases;
- disruption of the process of collagen production;
- insufficient blood circulation;
- lack of nutrients and vitamins;
- deterioration of metabolic processes in connective tissue.
However, you should not immediately panic and run to an appointment with a dermatologist: banal weather conditions (heat or cold) and constant chapping can lead to dryness of the epidermis. In everyday life, our hands are regularly exposed to aggressive detergents - even using plain water can have a detrimental effect on the condition of the skin if you do not take additional care of it. Simple mixtures of natural ingredients will help cope with annoying dry hands.
Dryness and flaking of the skin of the hands causes discomfort and does not look very aesthetically pleasing.
Causes of dryness
Before selecting ingredients to nourish dry skin on your hands, it is necessary to eliminate the cause of this phenomenon.
What causes the skin on your hands to become very dry? There are several reasons for this problem:
- Seasonal lack of vitamins and minerals.
- Frequent winds and frosts.
- Ignoring protective equipment while doing housework and gardening.
- Neglecting the rules of hand skin care.
All these factors are a consequence of the fact that the epidermis is suffering and indicates that it urgently needs your help and care.
Symptoms of ill health
It is always easier to solve a problem when it has just arisen; this saves time, effort, and money. This is especially true for the skin on the hands. If you approach care wisely, you can either not know what the feeling of tightness is at all, or you can stop its attempts to become dry in the bud.
How can you tell if your epidermis is sending you distress signals? It is worth paying attention to such signs as:
- Feeling of tightness.
- Roughness.
- The appearance of "chicks".
- Cracked cuticle.
- The appearance of burrs.
- Presence of peeling, crusts, cracks.
- Soreness.
If at least one of the above symptoms appears, then you need to immediately help yourself - do the procedure using correctly selected ingredients.
Rules for using hand masks
Nutrient mixtures prepared on the basis of exclusively natural ingredients will make the surface of your hands soft, silky and elastic. Preparing the masks will require a minimum of time on your part, since you probably already have the basic ingredients in your home. Home treatments will also help you save money: you won’t have to purchase expensive products or visit specialized salons.
Be sure to test the prepared product for a possible allergic reaction, especially if you are not sure about your individual intolerance to the products used in the mask. Simply apply a small amount of the mixture to a small area of your wrist for at least 30 minutes and make sure that no stains, irritation or other negative effects appear on the treated surface.
When using formulations, follow the general rules:
- Do not neglect cleansing your skin before the planned session - wash your hands and lightly steam. This will allow the active components of the mixture to penetrate the dermis more effectively and protect the skin from dirt particles entering the inner layers.
- To apply the prepared mixtures, you can use a brush (so the product will lie on the surface more evenly).
- To enhance the effect of the mask, cosmetologists recommend wearing fabric (waterproof) gloves on treated hands. If the mask recipe involves leaving the mixture on the skin overnight, then using gloves is a must.
- The soaking time for the applied composition is approximately 20–25 minutes. At this time, it is recommended to lie down and completely relax the arm muscles.
- After washing off the mask, saturate your hands with cream to enhance the effect of the product in case of severe dryness of the epidermis.
- It is advisable to carry out the procedure in the evening hours, when you have enough free time. During sleep, the skin will be better saturated with the components of the mask and restored - after all, all the most important processes of the body take place at night.
- It is not recommended to go outside or do household chores after the session: protect the treated skin from aggressive external factors.
Try to perform sessions every 2-3 days. A full course includes 12–14 procedures: do not neglect the need for a break (1 month is enough) before starting the next course.
If your skin shows signs of dermatosis, severe inflammation or severe damage, consult a dermatologist before using homemade masks.
After washing off the mask, be sure to apply moisturizer to your hands.
Recipes for mixtures against dryness
Compositions that intensively increase hand hydration most often include egg yolk, fatty fermented milk products, honey, various cosmetic oils, and glycerin. Following proven recipes, after only 3-4 procedures you will notice how rough skin has softened and become more delicate to the touch.
With yolk and flower honey
In order to restore the water balance, it is the egg yolk that is used in cosmetic formulations, since the white, on the contrary, helps dry out the epidermis. In addition, it contains a high concentration of vitamins and microelements such as iron and choline, which help activate skin renewal processes.
Honey is a universal antioxidant and has a rejuvenating and anti-inflammatory effect on the dermis. The product quickly heals cracks and saturates the tissue with the necessary moisture.
One of the popular recipes is the following:
- Mix the beaten egg yolk with sunflower or other base oil (1 tablespoon is enough) and pour in a little natural flower honey - about one teaspoon.
- Spread the sticky product over your hands and put on gloves.
- This mixture can be left even overnight - the benefits of this procedure will only increase.
It is recommended to choose honey of a liquid consistency for preparing the mask - in this case, you do not have to preheat and melt it.
For dry hand skin, it is the egg yolk that is used, not the white.

Including oils
Cosmetic oils are famous for their rich content of fatty acids and key vitamins, which help soften and smooth the epidermis. If you carry out the procedures correctly, then scratches and cracks on your hands will quickly disappear, peeling and signs of irritation will disappear.
Basic oils (almond, coconut, olive) are an excellent basis for a large number of moisturizing masks. But essential oils are added to the mixture drop by drop and always require mixing with other ingredients - due to their high concentration, when used separately, they can cause a burn to sensitive skin.
Try preparing the following oil composition, which can be left on the skin overnight:
- To begin, heat up a mixture of sea buckthorn, wheat germ and olive base oils - about a teaspoon is enough for one time.
- Next, you should add Panthenol ointment (sold at the pharmacy) in an amount of no more than 1 teaspoon and 2-3 drops of lavender and rose esters.
- Mix the ingredients into your skin and don’t forget to wear gloves.
- After 30 minutes, remove any remaining product by rinsing your hands with water.
Sea buckthorn oil protects skin from aging and normalizes water balance in tissues
The following recipe with the inclusion of olive oil is quite common:
- Dilute just 2 capsules of the drug Aevit in a couple of tablespoons of olive base oil (it can be bought inexpensively at any pharmacy).
- Add starch into the liquid mass - no more than a teaspoon is required.
- Finally, pour in no more than 2 drops of ylang-ylang ether and a similar amount of orange ether.
- The mixture is applied to the brushes for 20 minutes, then washed off with water at a comfortable temperature.
Olive oil is one of the most popular ingredients in moisturizing skin masks.

With lemon
The lemon mixture not only saturates dehydrated tissues with moisture and vitamins, but also helps to even out the tone and whiten the epidermis. In addition, the product has a deep cleansing effect and refreshes the surface of the hands.
- Prepare lemon zest (preferably fresh) - all you need is 1 teaspoon of finely grated pulp.
- Next, add a teaspoon of full-fat sour cream, argan or olive base oil and freshly brewed green tea.
- Rub the mixed mass into the skin of your hands, and after 20 minutes, simply roll the mixture with massage movements.
Use a fine grater to grate the lemon zest.

With sour cream and semolina
Sour cream in combination with semolina has a pronounced moisturizing effect on the epidermis: the skin becomes elastic, minor inflammations are relieved, and blood supply is activated. For a dehydrated surface, it is important to choose a product with a high fat content - from 30%.
To properly prepare the product, follow the instructions:
- Heat a mixture of a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of sour cream until warm.
- Stir the mixture with a teaspoon of olive oil and semolina - just take a teaspoon of each product.
- When applying the product, massage your skin for 5-8 minutes, and after another 20 minutes, wash your hands.
To prepare a nourishing mask, take thick, high-fat sour cream.

With oatmeal
Ordinary oatmeal can give your skin the missing nutrition: it contains especially valuable microelements magnesium, zinc, iron, as well as vitamins E and almost the entire group B. The product removes toxins, activates healing processes, and promotes tissue renewal.
One of the famous recipes is the following:
- Brew oatmeal using hot water in a 1:1 ratio.
- Cover the porridge with a lid and leave for 10 minutes.
- Supplement the softened flakes with sour cream and olive oil - add a tablespoon of each product.
- Distribute the warm solution over your hands and put on gloves.
- After 15–20 minutes, remove the composition.

With potatoes
The potato mixture copes well with tightness and flaking of the skin, providing toning, softening and regenerating effects. In addition, this vegetable effectively whitens the epidermis and helps eliminate pigmentation, including age-related ones.
Try an effective recipe for a mixture with boiled potatoes:
- Mash a couple of small boiled potatoes to a puree using two tablespoons of milk.
- The warm mass should be distributed over your hands and gloves should be worn to improve the effect.
- When the puree has cooled, take off your gloves and simply rinse off the mixture.
It is not necessary to peel the skins of potatoes before cooking.
A simple mask of mashed potatoes will help whiten and soften the delicate skin of your hands.

With glycerin
Glycerin, which can be purchased at the pharmacy, absorbs the required amount of moisture from the external environment and releases it to the dermis. The product is often used as a basis for various types of masks: it has high conductivity and promotes instant penetration of the active ingredients into the layers of the dermis.
How to use this product:
- Combine glycerin, starch and flower honey in equal proportions. Next, you need to dilute the resulting mass with three parts of water. After stirring, saturate your hands with the mixture and leave for 15 minutes.
- Pour pharmaceutical glycerin into oatmeal and natural honey - just take a teaspoon of each product. Pour in a couple of teaspoons of slightly warm water and lubricate your hands with the mixture.
- Rub pure glycerin into cleansed skin with light movements and put on thin (waterproof) gloves. Insulate your hands with an additional towel and sit relaxed. After 20 minutes, blot off any remaining product without rinsing your hands under water.
Glycerin can be bought at any pharmacy - its cost is quite low

With carrots
Carotene, contained in large quantities in carrots, helps increase collagen production and increase the elasticity of the dermis. This vegetable also includes a wide range of microelements that significantly increase the barrier functions of the skin and protect it from moisture loss.
A simple carrot recipe will help restore smoothness and softness to your hands:
- Combine 1 part each of sour cream (choose a product for this mask with a fat content of at least 15%) and sunflower oil.
- Pour the mixture with 3 parts of freshly squeezed carrot juice.
- After stirring, the composition must be applied to your hands and washed off after 25 minutes.
To prepare mixtures, it is better to choose smooth and strong carrots. The peel must be peeled off carefully in a thin layer, since nutrients are concentrated underneath it.
Carrot juice will refresh and nourish dry skin with beneficial elements.
With melon
Melon is an ideal product for sensitive skin. The tender pulp contains ascorbic and folic acids, as well as potassium and carotene, which prevent tissue dehydration, stabilize blood circulation and fill cells with oxygen.
Try a simple recipe and you will see how the unpleasant dryness disappears after a few sessions:
- Separate some of the pulp of the ripe melon - for a portion of the product you will need 2 tablespoons of fresh mass.
- To make the mixture thicker, add a little starch (about 1 teaspoon) and a few drops of lemon juice.
- Apply the mixture to cleansed hands and leave for about 20 minutes.
Choose the most ripe melon possible - the concentration of nutrients in such a product is much higher
Paraffin
Nowadays, paraffin masks have become very popular because they do an excellent job of treating skin dehydration and aging. You don’t have to go to a salon to perform the procedure—paraffin therapy can be done at home.
Cosmetologists recommend choosing low-melting paraffin for a home session: such a product takes on a liquid form at a temperature not exceeding 45 degrees. If you use a more refractory variety, there is a risk of burns.
The process looks like this:
- Pre-treat the surface of your hands with a rich cream.
- Heat the paraffin (about 250 grams is enough for one time) in a steam bath until liquid.
- Turn off the heat and check with your fingers whether the temperature of the melted mixture is comfortable.
- Slowly lower your hands horizontally into the liquid paraffin.
- After a few seconds, remove your hands and wait until they dry a little.
- Repeat steps 4-5 again for a total of 5 reps. This is necessary to create a thick layer of paraffin on your hands.
- Carefully put on gloves, wait 30 minutes and remove them at the same time as the paraffin.
- Do not rinse the skin, but immediately treat it with a rich cream.
You should immerse your hands in the melted paraffin slowly, keeping them in a horizontal position.

Nourishing honey mask
The skin of the hands needs constant nutrition, saturation with vitamins and microelements. The lack of important substances leads to its withering, the appearance of wrinkles and cracks. And here nourishing hand masks that are easy to use at home will be effective. Try a honey mask with yolk and oatmeal - it will be a wonderful spa treatment for your hands.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 tsp. oatmeal

You need to wash off the product after 15–20 minutes.

With kefir and berries
Kefir in combination with summer berries will restore youth, tone and fresh appearance to the skin.

Recommendations
Dry skin that is prone to cracking will look healthier faster if you combine the use of homemade mixtures with the following recommendations:
- Scrub your hands systematically (but not more than once every 5-7 days) to clean and soften the epidermis as much as possible.
- Be sure to lubricate your hands with moisturizing and protective products - for dehydrated skin, they can be applied up to several times a day.
- Wear protective gloves when washing dishes and doing other household chores to prevent your skin from becoming rough and dry.
- Rinse your hands with warm (not hot) water and finish with cooler water.
- Use only mild soap and rinse well, and choose soft towels for drying your hands.
- Dry your skin with a towel carefully, without rubbing it too intensely: while doing this, make sure that no droplets of water remain on the surface of your hands.
Another tip is to use hand baths regularly. For example, potato decoction is considered effective, as it helps eliminate dry skin.

Reviews
This recipe for an incredibly easy-to-prepare, but remarkably effective mask for hands and nails was recommended to me by a woman I know who is about seventy years old, and her hands always look, well, just perfect! She has been making this mask twice a week for about 15 years in a row. I’ve already done it three times myself, although I do it once a week, more often I personally just don’t have time. The recipe is as follows: 1) slightly heat one tablespoon of olive oil over the fire, so that the oil becomes a little warmer than room temperature. And squeeze one teaspoon of lemon juice. Mix the juice with oil and you're done! By the way, on my own behalf I began to add the contents of two Aevit capsules; 2) Apply the mixture of oil and juice to your hands and put on cotton gloves (I think many already have them) and rest for exactly 30 minutes, and then rinse off under running water. You simply don’t need to apply the cream on top, feel it for yourself))) My friend says that she has been doing this all these years: she uses these masks for a month, and then the effect lasts for 2-3 months. Then again - a monthly course.
User Nastic1985 claims that the skin of the hands became velvety and moisturized after using the mask with olive oil three times.

For myself, I chose a suitable option - a hand mask made from sour cream. It does an excellent job of expressly restoring the skin if it is chapped. All we need to prepare the mask is sour cream of any fat content and cling film/gloves (as appropriate). Apply sour cream to the previously cleaned skin in a fairly thick layer and wrap the hands in cling film or put on plastic gloves. Keep the mask on for about half an hour and remove the residue with a napkin or water. This mask copes well with cracked and dry skin, so it is simply irreplaceable for me in the autumn-winter period. Moreover, it is prepared quickly and from one component)

If your hand skin is severely chapped, a potato mask will help. Boil 2 potatoes in their skins (if the potatoes are large, then one is enough), knead, grind it and add 2 tsp. either lemon juice or cucumber. Then apply a thick layer of potato mask on the skin of your hands and cover with cellophane. After 15–20 minutes. Wash off the mask with warm water, dry your hands with a towel and rub in the nourishing cream. A mixture of egg yolk and a tablespoon of honey will help you make the skin of your hands soft and elastic (with wrinkled, rough skin on your hands). Mix these 2 ingredients and rub into the skin of your hands overnight. If you want to make the skin of your hands soft, like a baby’s, then an ordinary cucumber will help you. You just need to rub your hands with a piece of cucumber (I repeat - fresh), and voila! After just a few of these “sessions,” the skin on your hands will become much softer.

1 tbsp. spoon of lemon juice + 1 tbsp. spoon of sea buckthorn oil. Sea buckthorn oil can be freely found in pharmacies and is inexpensive, but it is worth considering that other substances are added to it. Therefore, it will be more useful to make sea buckthorn oil yourself, if the time of year allows. After mixing lemon with sea buckthorn oil, you get a fairly liquid mixture. Apply it to your hands overnight. If this is problematic for you, then leave for 2 hours and rinse thoroughly with water. As my practice shows, this will be enough for the handles to regain their former softness. You will get soft and beautiful hands, all that remains is to do a manicure)))
According to user marysya_mari, after a mask with sea buckthorn oil, the skin of the hands became soft and shiny

My favorite hand mask. I try to apply it while I'm lying in the bathroom, for at least 20 minutes. Mix 1 yolk with a tablespoon of honey and a spoonful of peach oil. Nourishes and moisturizes, the skin after it is very smooth. This amount is a lot for my hands, so I don’t waste time; before adding peach oil, I apply a little on my face. Then I add oil and apply it to my hands.

Hand care rules
- Hands should come into contact with water as little as possible.
- Any household work, especially those involving chemicals, should be done with gloves.
- Gel with an antibacterial composition, as well as various soaps, should be used as rarely as possible. They dry out the epidermis and wash away its natural protection.
- Constant use of moisturizer. It should be applied to the skin after any contact with water.
- Once every seven days, use peeling on the skin of your hands. Since the stratum corneum that has not been rejected prevents the normal penetration of creams and ointments into the deeper layers of the epidermis.
- In cold weather, you must wear gloves or mittens, and in sunny weather, use sunscreen.
- To improve blood circulation and skin elasticity, you need to massage your hands. Massage will improve the effect of the mask.
- The cream should be used daily. Especially in the evening.
- The mask is applied to completely dried epidermis.
- Most masks should be left on for no more than a quarter of an hour. But sometimes, according to the recipe, they can be left overnight. Remove the mask with warm water. Soap should not be used.
- If you need to leave the mixture overnight, you should stock up on cotton gloves.
- After removing the mass and washing hands, the skin is dried and moisturizer is applied.
After 25 years, dry skin types require careful and competent care, otherwise the problem of flaking and dry skin appears. Therefore, in addition to basic care and moisturizing, as well as nutrition and protection, face masks are recommended to maintain the health and youth of dry skin.
