Stretch out the "helping hand" to your hands


We do not forget to look after the face: we make masks, we apply creams. Do not disregard the body. But it is the hands most often experiencing the need for caring. And we deny them this, instead of pampering them with cosmetic means made ... with their own hands. Take care of yourself. Stretch out the "helping hand" to your hands. How to do it? Read and learn.

On the skin of the hands is almost no sebaceous glands, subcutaneous fat layer is extremely thin. All this prevents the independent resistance to external aggressive environment. If you also forget about gloves (whether rubber for washing and cleaning or nitty for working in the garden) and are accustomed to taking everything with your bare hands, then their state of health becomes deplorable. Because of the constant load, the skin on the hands suffers most from lack of moisture and fat. The normal water content in the tissues of the epidermis is about 20%. If this figure falls below 10%, the skin begins to peel, grub, become hard and rough. Filling the losses is not so easy. This requires constant and systematic care. The cosmetic market offers many ready-made products, but do not forget about home remedies. They are easy to do in the literal sense with their own hands. It all depends on what problem you are facing at the moment.

We begin with grinding: we do it for a minute of movement, as if we were soaping our hands. We develop joints: 15 times sharply we squeeze fingers into a fist and slowly unclench. Then, 15 times slowly, with effort, we squeeze our fingers into a fist and sharply unclamp, spreading them. We knead 3-4 times each finger from the tip to the bottom. We stretch the palm of the hand from the fingers to the wrist and from the inner edge to the base. Finish the massage by rubbing brushes. And ... we will feel the gratitude of our hands.
