Every woman knows that you can tell the age by the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, in order to keep in shape, one should not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Due to a thin layer of subcutaneous fatty tissue, the skin of the hands ages quite quickly, dries out, and wrinkles appear on it.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet rays, cold, wind, aggressive chemical and mechanical stresses.
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 the financial means to go to a beauty salon, but skin rejuvenation of the hands is also possible at home. It is believed that hand rejuvenation consists 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 offer 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 should apply protective equipment. In the cold and wind, you can apply sunflower or olive oil to your skin. It will prevent redness and chapping.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
Once the cleaning is finished, it is recommended to devote a quarter of an hour to the care of the hands with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, essential oils of orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus will do.
