You probably did not know this, but your hands are the most long-suffering part of our body. They cook, wash, freeze in the cold, because their mistress has forgotten the gloves at home ... Plus, in relation to the hands, we often make a lot of mistakes. What prevents our hands from being beautiful? And what prevents us proudly to demonstrate them - neat, well-groomed, tender? We admit to ourselves in our mistakes in the care of hands. And we will try to correct them.
Lack of regular care.
Since the skin of the hands is constantly exposed to active external effects, they must be regularly lubricated with cream. This is the minimum of care that you must provide to your hands, if you do not want them to be tough, hardened, and sooner or later they become wrinkled. And the regularity implies that it is necessary to use the cream twice a day: in the morning - protective, in the evening - nutritious or special night, and also intermediate "processing" after finishing any kind of manual labor - washing, cleaning, cooking, etc. In Ideally once a week you need to visit a master of manicure.
Ignoring the rules of intensive care.
The skin of the hands needs periodic application of masks and intensive procedures in the salon, especially after 30 years, when the aging of the organism as a whole begins. Regular use of means of intensive care for the skin of hands is the same as for face care: once a week you should apply a scrub (preferably a special product for the hands), 1-2 times a week - masks (or feeder trays, for example, from vegetable oil with juice of a lemon) and on the average once a month intensive procedure at the master on manicure is necessary.
Contact with skin irritants.
From time to time, our hands are in contact with various chemical components that irritate the skin and destroy its natural protective barrier. In addition, they stimulate increased formation of free radicals, which contributes to premature aging of the skin. We often forget rubber gloves. Still, hands deserve better treatment, and if you are going to work at home or even more in the country, let the gloves be the first thing you think about. As a prevention from time to time, apply a colorless varnish base on your nails - this will help to preserve their color.
Absence of additional protection in the cold season.
Once the ladies in summer and winter did not go out without gloves. At the present time, gloves are not so anxious, and often we simply forget about them. Meanwhile, the skin of the hands, as well as the face, is actively affected by wind, sun, dry and cold air. Ideally, gloves would not interfere with the summer. Fashion has not yet obliged us to wear them during this season, but, at least, early in the autumn and late spring, while we still wear cloaks and boots, we can and should wear gloves.
Disdainful attitude to warts and calloused areas.
On the first, we usually do not pay attention until they grow to obscene, and the latter simply tear off, after which they grow again at a double speed. Corns and warts must be removed from a specialist. In the case of warts, this is extremely important: there is a hypothesis that their long "stay" on the skin can trigger the growth of cancer cells. As for calluses, they often have rootlets, which by simple breaking off the dried up crust can not be removed.
Careless filing of nails.
This refers to the direction of sawing. Usually we do this by driving the nail file to the left and to the right. Meanwhile, you need to do this with light movements in the direction from the edge of the nail to the middle - all other options for sawing can provoke the exfoliation of the nails.
Polishing.
Recently it has become popular to polish the surface of nails with special fine-grained nail files. The nails after this procedure really look luxurious, but no matter how delicate the nail file is, it acts like sandpaper. It is clear that regular treatment of the surface of the nail will sooner or later cause a weakening of the nail plate. You can polish your nails, of course, but you need to do this only for the big holidays and provided that the nails are healthy. Then serious consequences can not be feared.
