Special creams with cooling or warming effects help relax the muscles – perfect after long training days or intense competition sessions.
Hand care: The right routine for strong hands
Anyone who trains intensively knows the problem: calluses, corns, and cracks are almost inevitable with intensive training – but they don't have to be. A targeted hand care routine ensures that your hands remain flexible and resilient without losing their strength.
Develop a hand care routine
- Cleaning: Wash your hands thoroughly after training to remove chalk and sweat.
- Remove calluses: Gently remove excess calluses with a plane, file or pumice stone – ideally when the skin is slightly softened.
- Care: Then apply a hand cream or balm to lock in moisture and keep skin supple.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I care for my hands?
Daily skincare is ideal, especially after workouts involving heavy gripping or chalking. Evening is the best time, as the skin regenerates overnight.
What helps with cracks or open sores on the hands?
The affected area should be cleaned and treated with a nourishing balm. If you have open sores or cracked skin, it's best to give your hands a break so that your skin can fully regenerate and become stable again, preventing further cracking.
How do muscle care and classic skin care differ?
Muscle care products aim for a deep effect to relax stressed muscle areas, while classic care products protect and keep the skin and surface supple.
Which body care products are useful after intense training with lots of friction and sweat?
Gentle shower or cleansing lotions without aggressive additives are recommended, followed by a moisturizing body cream for stressed skin and a balm for chafing or minor skin abrasions.
Prevention instead of a training break
Regular skincare shouldn't be an afterthought, but rather part of your routine. Early skincare prevents cracks and irritations – and saves you unnecessary time off due to broken skin.
