Our desire to be protected and to avoid the corona virus causes us to over-wash our hands, and disinfectants that cause many of us to walk around with unpleasant sensations and dry skin of palms. "The alcohol in hand sanitizers makes the skin dry," says Dr. Lehavit Ackerman. She says the alcohol removes the essential layer of fat that is needed to protect it.

"The skin plays an important role in preventing viruses and bacteria from infiltrating the body, and when it is dry it is prone to cracks and cuts, which can impair this efficiency, and cause viruses and infections to penetrate our skin faster." Dr. Ackerman recommends using handwashing water and soap instead of using a disinfectant gel. "If no disinfectant gel should be used, you can choose a high-concentration, at least 60 percent alcohol."

In addition, beyond washing hands a lot because of the virus, Passover at the door and the use of detergents are rising. Gloves are recommended and avoid direct contact with detergents. Moisturizer should be applied to your hands at the end of your daily cleaning tasks.

Dr. Ackerman says, "A hand lotion should be chosen that gives great moisture and even restores the skin. For those who do not like the fat in the hands after applying, a non-fat moisturizer can be used and after a massage the cream can be lightly soaked in the towel and leave the cream on the back of the hand. On days that are often used in a disinfectant gel or alternatively, clean the house, palms are even more prone to drying and it is advisable to apply a generous amount of thick, moisturizing, moisturizing hand cream, which takes time to absorb and the next morning you should wash your hands well. "

Discussing what hand cream to buy from the variety of products on the shelf in the marketing and pharmacy networks? Daniel Fiberal, Director of Camadis Israel, recommends that, "It is important to check that the lotion will have significant components such as glycerin, a skin moisturizing ingredient and a healthier looking skin, rather than drying or irritating components such as SLS and artificial colors. With plant extracts, they help reduce itching and irritation and create a natural barrier against environmental damage. "

She says that due to multiple hand washes, it is important to nourish the skin with natural oils like olive oil containing vitamin E and anti-oxidants, coconut oil or almond oil.

Fiberal recommends for those who have time at home to do a natural treatment that nurtures the skin of their hands. You can dip your hands in a bowl of lukewarm water to which you drizzled cold oil, place your hands 2-3 minutes, remove, shake and soak in absorbent paper.

Homemade hand sanitizer

Naturopathic Katy Estherkin, from the vegan brand JASON, says that hand sanitizing gel can be prepared alone. "In a bowl place seven tablespoons of aloe with 100 ml of alcohol and eight drops of tea tree oil. Mix the three ingredients into a uniform mass and you will have a gel to maintain palm hygiene, which also protects the hands from dryness. You can also mix the tea tree oil with water in a flask with a splash and splash on surfaces or disinfected clothing. "

Removing nail polish at home

Simon Dahan, a senior manager at the Nail Studio Network, is reassuring and says that gel can be removed at home without fear of nail damage.

How do you do it

Sins your hands, gently nudging the top layer of the gel, drip into a pad or cotton swab to remove gel polish that can be purchased on the pharmacy chains and grooming sites. For those who cannot purchase a gel nail polish remover, acetone can also be used. Place the Fed on a square of household foil and wrap the nail, waiting 10-15 minutes, and remove the aluminum foil.
