Every woman knows that age can be guessed from the condition and appearance of the hands. Therefore, keeping in shape, 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 quite quickly, dries out, and wrinkles appear.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, windy weather, harsh chemicals, and mechanical stress.
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 money to go to a beauty salon, but the 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. Home 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 should apply protective equipment. In the cold and windy weather, you can rub sunflower or olive oil on your skin. It will prevent redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After finishing the cleaning, it is recommended to spend a quarter of an hour caring for the hands with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, orange, grapefruit, or eucalyptus essential oils will do.
