Particularly adverse effects are exposed to hands in winter, because winter colds dry the skin of the hands. And from sudden changes in temperature, which occurs with frequent changes in the warm air of the room to the cold street, the skin of the hands becomes more rough and rough, which leads to redness, peeling and microcracks. In addition, the lack of vitamins in winter and dehydration of the skin under the influence of cold air leads to premature aging of the skin of the hands. That's why you need to protect your hands from winter colds with regular specialized care.
First of all, the protection of the hands is carried out through the regular use of two kinds of creams, nourishing and moisturizing. To use creams need to be constantly: moisturizing - after contact with water, and nutritious before going out to the street. In winter, hands are best washed with water at room temperature, because colder water makes the skin stiff and provokes flaking, while hot degreasing and drying. And, of course, the main protection of hands from winter cold and wind are gloves. So do not forget them at home, going outside.
You can make bioperclips of the following components: 1/4 glasses of water, 2g. food gelatin, 15g. any starch, 20g. talc, 2g. boric acid. The resulting mixture is applied to the hands and dried.
If, however, you did not save your hands from the cold, and the skin received a blow from the weather in the form of redness and flaking, then help with lotions of green tea (we take gauze, moisten in green tea, put on the skin for 15 minutes and then rub with serum ). More from the redness of the skin of the hands will help a mask of mashed potatoes or wheat flour mixed with fresh milk. In the case of persistent redness of the hands, the alternating action of the baths with cold and hot water is beneficial. Strengthen the effect of these procedures using a hot saline (take a liter of water 200 grams of salt, boil and lightly cool). We put our hands in such water for 15 minutes, and then in the cold for 5 minutes and so repeat several times. Be sure to finish the procedure in cold water. Dry and lubricate with cream.
After several hours of winter coldness on hands, make a warming compress (take 5ml sweet almond oil and 1-3 drops of essential oil of Japanese mint, massage the mixture, massage the skin of the hands) from which the skin softens, warms up, fatigue and tension are removed.
In addition, to accelerate the regeneration of the skin of hands, two times a week you need to use a scrub before the nourishing cream - a mask that will remove the dead skin layer and improve the penetration of active ingredients of the nourishing cream mask.
As a result, in winter, from the lack of vitamins, trace elements and dehydration, not only the skin of the hands, but also the nails suffers. They become brittle, loose, and the cuticle coarsens and crackles. Combat these problems with special nutritive oils, for example, almond oil in combination with essential oil of geranium. Vitamins and trace elements contained in them, well strengthen the nails and soften the cuticle.
To strengthen the effects of drugs in the winter apply plastic wrap and paraffin therapy. And paraffinotherapy is better to do in salons, and plastic wrapping can be done at home by yourself. For example, apply a thick layer of nourishing cream on your hands, put on plastic gloves or bags on top and wrap it all with a towel. After 10-15 minutes, remove the towel and cellophane, remove excess cream with a napkin. This procedure allows all useful substances contained in the cream to penetrate deeply into the skin, which will greatly improve blood circulation and open pores.
