When packing for your holiday, don't forget hand cosmetics.

Nail and cuticle oil

Sunbathing, daily bathing in the sea and pool can dry out not only your hands but also your nails. In order not to weaken the delicate nail plate, use extra oil. Massage it into your nails and the cuticles around them every evening to keep them supple, soft and moisturised. You can use ready-to-use mixtures or choose pure, cold-pressed oils such as argan or jojoba oil.

Antibacterial gel

A disinfectant will come in handy at the airport and during a trip. Choose one that contains moisturising and soothing ingredients - these will offset the drying effects of alcohol. Look out for added aloe vera, glycerine, panthenol. You can also get a natural preparation containing oils with antibacterial properties: camphor, eucalyptus, tea tree or sandalwood. The cosmetic will have a disinfectant effect and will also smell pleasant.

Hand cream

A classic hand cream is also worth having on standby - especially if you're on the move and moving around a lot. Choose one with a light texture that is easily absorbed and won't make your hands slippery after application. It's a good idea to find a hand cream that is enriched with sunscreen - it will work well not only on the beach. Remember to choose a cosmetic with a small volume that you can pack in your hand luggage and won't take up much space.
