Every woman knows that you can guess age by the condition and appearance of her hands. Therefore, to keep in shape, we must not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Due to a thin layer of subcutaneous adipose tissue, the skin on the hands ages quickly, becomes dry and wrinkles appear.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, wind, chemical and mechanical aggressions.
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 rejuvenating the skin on your 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. Folk remedies used for rejuvenation provide 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 perfectly possible to do this at home.
Before leaving the house in bad weather, it is necessary to apply protective equipment. In cold and windy weather, you can rub sunflower oil or olive oil on your skin. This will prevent redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After cleaning is finished, it is recommended to devote a quarter of an hour to hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, essential oils of orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus will do.
