In our article "Folk remedies for skin care of hands" we will tell you how to take care of your hands.
Dry skin with age arises due to the fact that the body decreases the level of hormones, this applies to estrogen. Every morning, you need to apply moisturizing cream on your hands. Once a week, with the help of a soft face scrub, you need to clean the dead cells from your skin. As a result, useful substances are better absorbed and penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin of the hands. Before going outside, you should apply a sunscreen that protects the skin from harmful rays. If colorless or small dark spots appear on your hands, then you can get rid of them if you put on your hands a special cream with vitamin A. But if you again neglect the protective creams, the spots may appear again.
Try to examine your hands more closely:
- On the back of the brushes the skin became pale, dry, thin?
- Is it rough and thick on the palms?
- Have wrinkles and wrinkles formed?
- Have you got colorless or pigmented spots?
If at least two questions you answered "yes", then you need to take urgent measures.
Why do your hands get old?
The skin on the hands does not contain subcutaneous fat, the veins appear distinctly, over time it looks thin. After 30 years, the skin becomes dry, as the level of hormones in the body decreases. After 40 years, pigmentation spots appear, and female hands suffer more. All because almost every one of us cooks every day, takes care of flowers, removes, erases, washes. And let's honestly admit that we often forget to use a cream that would protect our hands from wind, sun, household chemicals. Because of this attitude, the skin of the hands looks 5 or 10 years older than the hostess's age.
Simple rules
What you need to do, so you should not be ashamed to show your hands, you need to follow simple rules for this.
1. Cleaning, laundry and other household work should be done only in rubber gloves. After all, the main enemies of our skin are household chemicals, because we use it daily.
2. We wash our hands with water at room temperature. From hot water the skin dries, from cold water the skin becomes rigid and shelled. Then necessarily we grease hands with a cream.
3. Every morning we apply a moisturizing cream that contains exfoliating substances (lactic acid, salicylic, glycolic) to remove dead cells from the surface of the skin.
4. In the daytime you can use a nutritious cream with biotin, milk protein, wheat germ, vitamin A, E, D.
5. Before going to bed, you should always do hand massage. We will put on the back of both hands a thin layer of cream, and then in circular movements we will take them to each other. Then we massage each finger, as if we put on gloves, then massage our wrists and hands. Remains of the cream will not be removed, but only a little more cream and put on hands cellophane gloves, on top of mittens put on for 15-20 minutes.
6. To feed and moisturize your hands, we apply a night cream that contains an ingredient that stimulates the production of collagen, done half an hour before bedtime.
7. Once a week we arrange a home-based SPA treatment: wash our hands, make a soft scrub for 15 or 20 minutes, put the hands and salt in the bathtub, extracts of essential oils, herbs, and then apply a night, nourishing cream.
Choose a cream
If the cream contains a large amount of glycerin, it will make the skin soft and supple, immediately after the first application, instantly absorbed and penetrates into the epidermal cells. In addition to glycerin, the cream should include soothing and restorative components of bisabolol, allantoin, panthenol, natural oils and natural fatty components. Such cream should be applied on hands several times a day. And 2 or 3 times a week we pamper the hands with nutritious and moisturizing masks.
