Every woman knows that you can guess the age by the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, keeping yourself in shape, we must not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Due to the thin layer of subcutaneous fatty tissue, the skin of the hands ages rather 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 gloves for cleaning 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 hand skin rejuvenation is also possible at home. It is believed that hand rejuvenation consists of two blocks of caring procedures. The first block is the prevention of early aging, and the second is the restoration of damaged and tired skin. Folk remedies used for rejuvenation provide protection, hydration and nutrition.
Prevention of early 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 need to apply protective equipment. In the cold and wind, you can rub sunflower or olive oil into your skin. It will prevent redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After finishing cleaning, it is recommended to spend a quarter of an hour on hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, then essential oils of orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus will do.
