Women often think that a manicure is enough for the beauty of their hands, so little attention is paid to the skin on this part of the body, and when the first signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles) appear on the face. However, this approach is wrong: wrinkles, protruding blood vessels, age spots, and dryness are harder to get rid of on the hands than on the face.
Why is hand skin aging?
The hands immediately release the woman's age: the skin is hit by unfavorable environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), it is burdened in the form of degreasing with the frequent use of hot water or detergent.
Physical activity often causes the appearance of microcracks, which can lead to premature aging, resulting in wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work involves physical work, the beauty of the hand must be taken care of twice: due to the mechanical effect, the skin becomes rough, loses its elasticity, it starts to peel, blood vessels appear, and the quality of the nail deteriorates. .
Note!Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles on the fingers and skin is hormonal changes: during menopause, estrogen levels decrease, leading to insufficient collagen and fat production, leading to dehydration, peeling, wrinkles and wrinkles. .
The upper limbs, like the neck, have very vulnerable and sensitive skin that needs to be maintained and rejuvenated with salon or home procedures.
Hand skin rejuvenation at home
Nourishing masks, massage exercises that help the mobility of the joints have proven to be the most effective.
Masks can be based on natural ingredients that contain beneficial trace elements. For example, a mask based on olive oil and lemon juice is popular. It nourishes the skin, has a tonic effect and at the same time slightly lightens the hand surface. Due to its unique composition, olive oil is actively used in cosmetology, rich in vitamins, acids and minerals.
For the olive mask, just take a few tablespoons of oil and mix it with half a lemon juice. Apply evenly on the skin and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse the mixture with water at room temperature, wipe your hands dry and lubricate them with nourishing cream. This mask is able to relieve irritation and smooth the skin of the fingers.
All-night masks are especially effective. Popular mask with ground oatmeal, an egg yolk and honey.
To prepare it you need to take:
- a yolk;
- two tablespoons of crushed oatmeal;
- a tablespoon of honey.
Mix everything, spread evenly on your hands, put on gloves and leave the product overnight. Rinse in the morning and apply emollient to the skin. After just one application, the skin will be noticeably smoother and fine wrinkles will disappear. The mask is best applied twice a week for 2 months.
Important!Home hand rejuvenation only gives quick results by systematically performing procedures.
You can also use the following to achieve a rejuvenating effect:
- vegetable oils;
- boiled potato;
- sea salt;
- sour cream (high fat);
- lemon juice and peel.
If the skin of the hand is prone to peeling and irritation, the starch mask will be effective. Aromatic lavender, pine or rosemary oil is added as a soothing agent. You can also add a few drops of these aromatic oils to the baby cream and apply them with a brush.
The recipe for the starchy hand mask is simple. Rice (potato) starch should be added to the chamomile soup (chilled but freshly cooked). The resulting mixture is mixed well to a thick sour cream. Add a few drops of juniper or pine oil. The mixture is applied for half an hour, then washed and the hands are smeared with odorless baby cream. It is an effective treatment for the skin, both in cold weather and for redness and inflammation due to allergic reactions.
