Every woman knows that you can guess the age by the condition and appearance of the hand. Therefore, taking care of one's health, we must not forget that hand rejuvenation is a necessary procedure. Because of the thin layer of subcutaneous fatty tissue, the skin of the hand grows faster, becomes dry, and wrinkles appear on it.
In addition, it is constantly exposed to ultraviolet radiation, cold, windy weather, aggressive chemical and mechanical stresses.
Unfortunately, rubber gloves for cleaning are not popular among our women, so household chemicals are irritating and damage delicate skin.
It is not impossible to find the time and money to go to a beauty salon, but hand skin rejuvenation can also be done at home. It is believed that hand rejuvenation consists of two blocks of care procedures. The first block is the prevention of early 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 possible to do this at home.
Before leaving the house in bad weather, you need to use protective equipment. In the cold and wind, you can rub sunflower or olive oil into your skin. It will prevent redness and cracking.
Always wear gloves when handling household chemicals.
After finishing cleaning, it is recommended to spend a quarter of an hour for hand care with a salt bath. If sea salt is not available, the essential oils of orange, grapefruit or eucalyptus will occur.
