Winter is here. The cold is slowly setting in, the days are getting shorter, and it's already dark when we leave work. This is clearly not the most pleasant time of year. And when we look at the condition of our hands, it doesn't get much better. They are dry, damaged, sometimes rough to the touch, with nails that become brittle.
But don't despair. The holidays are approaching, and you'll be able to reconnect with your family and loved ones. As for your hands, there's no need to worry, we're here to take care of them.

But why are your hands damaged in Winter?
The answer is simpler than it seems. It's Winter itself.
With the arrival of cold and wind, the film of water and lipids that naturally protects your skin becomes fragile. Once disturbed, the skin dehydrates much faster and becomes vulnerable to external aggressions. The constant transition from hot to cold doesn't help. Your skin reacts very poorly to these temperature variations and quickly gets damaged, caught between freezing temperatures outside and high heat indoors. It is therefore better to avoid pressing your hands against a radiator to warm them up.
Your nails are not spared. Cold causes vasoconstriction, which reduces blood flow. They then receive fewer nutrients and gradually become more fragile, especially due to hot-cold temperature variations.
