Every woman knows that you can guess age from the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, to keep fit, we must not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Due to a thin layer of subcutaneous fatty tissue, the skin on the hands ages rather quickly, becomes dry and wrinkles appear.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind, aggressive chemical and mechanical stresses.
Unfortunately, rubber cleaning gloves are not popular with 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 rejuvenation of the skin of the hands is also possible at home. Hand rejuvenation is believed to consist of two blocks of care procedures. The first block is the prevention of premature aging and the second is the restoration 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, it is necessary to apply protective equipment. In the cold and wind, you can rub sunflower or olive oil into the skin. It will avoid redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After finishing the cleansing, it is recommended to dedicate a quarter of an hour to hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, essential oils of orange, grapefruit, or eucalyptus will do.
