Many people look after their hands regularly. They use hand cream, moisturise and try to avoid dry skin. Despite this, cold, windy and wet conditions often cause a familiar feeling: the skin becomes tight, rough or sensitive. The reason for this is not just a lack of care - but a lack of protection.
Care and protection are often seen as the same thing. However, they actually fulfil two different functions.
Care supports the regeneration of the skin. It helps to replace lost moisture and make the skin supple again.
Protection on the other hand, prevents the skin from being weakened in the first place. It forms a barrier against external influences such as cold, wind, water or dry air.
This distinction is crucial. Because if the skin is under constant stress, care alone is often not enough.
Our skin has a natural protective barrier. This ensures that moisture remains in the skin and harmful influences remain outside. However, this barrier is weakened in cold and wet conditions.
Cold reduces the skin's blood circulation and slows down its ability to regenerate. At the same time, dry air draws moisture from the skin. Frequent contact with water, such as when washing your hands or working outdoors, further intensifies this effect. As a result, the skin loses its natural protective function. It becomes more sensitive, drier and more susceptible to damage.
This is exactly where it becomes clear why protection is crucial.
Effective skin protection is based on a simple principle: supporting the natural skin barrier with a protective film.
Such a protective film acts like an additional layer on the surface of the skin. It helps with this, Reduce moisture loss protect the skin from cold and wind reduce exposure to water and moisture stabilise the skin's natural protective function. In contrast to pure care, this protection has a preventative effect. The skin remains more resistant and can fulfil its natural function better.
Skin protection is particularly relevant when hands are regularly exposed to external influences. This includes situations such as
In these situations, the skin is not only dependent on care, but above all on protection.
Healthy skin is not created through repair - but through prevention. If the skin is protected at an early stage, its natural barrier remains stable. It remains more supple, more resistant and less susceptible to damage.
This is exactly where modern skin protection comes in: It helps the skin to maintain its protective function - even under demanding conditions.
Tal MED Protect was developed precisely for this purpose. It forms a protective film on the skin that protects against cold, moisture and external stresses without impairing the skin's natural function.
Because real skin health doesn't start with care - it starts with protection
