- Close contact with water and household chemicals. No woman thinks about how much she hurts her hands every day. Washing dishes, doing laundry, doing other household chores, while using household chemicals, but not protecting the skin, is a common thing.
- Climatic factors. The skin of the hands is very sensitive to ultraviolet rays and weather changes. Therefore, the skin needs additional care both in winter and in summer.
- Hormonal disruptions in the body. With age-related changes in a woman's body, the level of estrogen decreases, so the skin becomes dry and loses its former healthy appearance. To avoid premature aging of the skin, you need to deal with its prevention.
Timely started skin care helps to prolong its youth. Every day you need to remember about your hands: protect them from cold, sunlight and household chemicals.
