Every woman knows that age can be guessed based on the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, keeping ourselves in shape, we must not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Due to the thin layer of adipose tissue under the skin, the skin of the hand ages fairly quickly, dries out, and wrinkles appear on it.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, windy weather, and aggressive chemical and mechanical stress.
Unfortunately, rubber gloves used for cleaning are not popular with our women, so household chemicals irritate and damage delicate skin.
It is not always possible to find time and money to go to a beauty salon, but it is also possible to rejuvenate the skin of the hand at home. Hand rejuvenation is believed to consist of two care procedures. The first block is to prevent premature aging and the second is to restore damaged and tired skin. Folk remedies used for rejuvenation provide protection, hydration and nourishment.
Prevention of premature skin aging
Preventive procedures to rejuvenate hands include measures to protect against various environmental effects. This is entirely possible at home.
Before leaving the house in bad weather, you must wear protective equipment. You can rub sunflower or olive oil into your skin in the cold and wind. Prevents redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After cleaning, it is recommended to spend a quarter of an hour on hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus essential oils will do.
