Detergents, powders, earth, chlorinated water, sun, wind, frost, gravity, which have to be worn constantly - all these are the most real evil enemies for our hands. It is these factors that make the skin on the hands rough, rough and calloused. Because of this, hands add a decade to their mistress. To avoid such consequences, it is only necessary to learn to take care of the delicate skin of the hands. And for this you need to master several rules for caring for your hands.
First of all, if you are expected to work with water and detergents, remember one important rule, always try to work in gloves or mittens. If the glove is not nearby, then you must grease your hands with a fat cream. Yes, yes, contrary to the prevailing opinion, it is necessary to smear the hand before and after the "dirty" work. Especially good in this case will be cream based on Vaseline and silicone. Thanks to petroleum jelly, a water-repellent film is created on the skin, which will not allow your hands to coarsen, and chemical detergents will damage the skin.
Especially our hands suffer during the period of "gardens - vegetable gardens". When the grass is weeded, its juice remains on the hands, which can be partially removed with the help of sorrel or cherry juice. After such a procedure, and generally after any contact with the ground, you need to wash your hands with warm water and soap, which contains lanolin. It will be very beneficial for the skin of your hands to then make yourself a bath of starch. It is done this way: a teaspoon of starch is diluted in a glass of water, the resulting mass is diluted with warm water to a liter volume. Hands are kept in this solution for 10-15 minutes, rinsed with warm water, then a little more cream is applied to the still damp skin. Such a bath will be especially useful to those who have very dry and rough skin on their hands. Also very good from the rough skin of the hands is a bath of whey or juice of sauerkraut .
From the calluses you will help such a bath: a liter of water you need a teaspoon of drinking soda, 2 teaspoons of ammonia, a teaspoon of planed soap. Keep hands for 15-20 minutes, then wipe dry and rub with pumice stone.
With small cracks it will be enough to lower your hands for 10 to 15 minutes in warm water, where you first need to add a few crystals of potassium permanganate (manganese), then (if bleeding cracks) wipe with greenery or iodine.
And do not forget about your nails. Cut them every week, it's also very important that your marigolds are the same size not too long. If the dermal cushion surrounding the nail is too large, it is better to go to the salon where it will be removed without damage.
You also need to use hand masks. Some can be prepared at home:
Oatmeal honey mixed 3 tbsp. tablespoons oat flakes, 1 tbsp. spoon of olive oil, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of milk, 1 teaspoon of honey. Apply mass on your hands - for an hour, for best effect you can put on gloves or wrap food film.
