What is Hand Cream?
With hand cream, you can boost your moisture levels and skin elasticity, while combatting pigmentation, dehydration and premature wrinkles.
Cause of crack skin?
Dry skin, or xerosis, is the most common cause of cracked skin. In smooth and hydrated skin, natural oils prevent the skin from drying out by retaining moisture. But if your skin doesn't have enough oil, it loses moisture. This makes your skin dry out and shrink, which can lead to cracking.
Benefits of Hand Cream
It’s important that we don’t neglect our hands as they can quickly become dry, cracked and painful. In fact, one of the best things you can do for your hands is to moisturize them throughout the day and there are huge benefits of using hand cream. Although any cream or lotion will do, using a cream specially formulated for hands is the best way to repair and restore damaged hands.
Polypeptide:
Peptides are amino acids that make up certain proteins needed by the skin. More specifically, collagen is made of three polypeptide chains, so adding peptides can stimulate your skin to make collagen. More collagen can lead to firmer, younger-looking skin.hexapeptide-8: Research shows that Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 can reduce wrinkle depth by up to 30% over the course of 30 days.
Because Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 produces similar results to Botox, it’s considered an excellent non-toxic alternative. Creams
with this ingredient are designed for topical application, so not only is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 a non-toxic alternative to Botox, but it’s non-invasive, as well.
Oligopeptide-1: has an identical chemical structure to an epidermal growth factor and has been shown to increase the rate of healing and renewal of the skin, as well as slow the thinning of aging skin, thus minimizing wrinkles (Bio Organic Concepts, European Commission).
Oligopeptide-2: is also called Insulin-like growth factor 1 and it belongs to the same group of ingredients (Growth Factors) as its better-known sister, Epidermal Growth Factor or Sh-Oligopeptide-1. This guy consists of 70 amino acids and, similar to EGF, it is also claimed to stimulate cell proliferation and wound healing. There is also a study that indicates EGF and IGF1 work in synergy to promote keratinocyte (skin cell) proliferation.
