Every woman knows that you can tell the age by the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, keeping ourselves in shape, we must not forget that the rejuvenation of the hands is a necessary procedure. Due to a thin layer of subcutaneous fat, the skin of the hands ages quite quickly, becomes dry and wrinkles appear on it.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, windy weather, aggressive chemical and mechanical stress.
Unfortunately, rubber cleaning gloves are not popular among our women, so household chemicals irritate and damage delicate skin.
It is not always possible to find the time and finances to go to a beauty salon, but the rejuvenation of the skin of the hands is also possible at home. It is believed that the rejuvenation of the hands consists of two blocks of care procedures. The first block is the prevention of premature aging, and the second is the recovery of damaged and tired skin. Folk remedies used for rejuvenation provide protection, hydration and nutrition.
Prevention of premature skin aging
Preventive procedures aimed at rejuvenating the hands include measures to protect them from various environmental influences. It is quite possible to do this at home.
Before leaving the house in bad weather, you must apply protective equipment. In cold and wind you can rub sunflower or olive oil into your skin. This will prevent redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After cleaning, it is recommended to spend a quarter of an hour in hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, then essential oils of orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus will be suitable.
