How to care for hand skin?

Mcooker: best recipes About beauty

How to care for your handsThe skin on the hands is much thinner than on the face, almost devoid of a layer of subcutaneous fat and contains much less sebaceous glands. That is why it, deprived of natural protection, quickly becomes thinner, coarser and more easily amenable to age-related changes.

The strongest aggressors are water, chemicals, and weather conditions - wind and cold.

Three main principles of keeping hands soft and delicate:

1. Regular gentle cleansing.

2. Adequate nutrition and hydration.

3. Protection against negative environmental influences.

Cleansing

Hands should be washed with soap or gel with a high fat content. Hand towels or paper towels should be soft. Be sure to wipe your hands dry each time to prevent cracks and roughness.

In addition to the brushes, special attention should be paid to the elbows - rough skin should be removed at least once a week. To do this, you need to rub the skin with a not too coarse brush, after dropping soap or shower gel on it. After such a procedure, be sure to lubricate your elbows with a fat cream.

Nutrition and hydration

Store-bought creams can be used to soften the skin on the hands, but it is much more beneficial to prepare the composition at home.

A mask of equal parts mashed potatoes, heavy cream and vegetable oil perfectly nourishes the delicate skin. Apply the mixture on hands under rubber or plastic gloves for 15 minutes every evening.

Perfectly softens and moisturizes even very rough skin with a mixture of kefir (or sour milk) and oatmeal in a ratio of 1: 3. When the flakes are swollen, gently apply the composition to the elbows for 20-30 minutes. Rinse off with non-hot water. It is useful to combine the procedure with massage.

In addition to masks, you can make a hand bath at home. You can use a choice of chamomile, nettle, sage, plantain or linden blossom. Pour a tablespoon of dry grass with boiling water, cool to a comfortable temperature, strain and hold the brushes in the solution until it cools completely. Herbs can be used in any proportion, adding to them drop by drop any essential oil.

How to care for your handsIn addition to the herbal bath, a hot starch bath has an excellent effect. To prepare a teaspoon of starch, brew in a glass of boiling water and dilute the resulting thick syrup with three glasses of hot water. Dip the brushes into the resulting solution and hold for 20 minutes. After that, it is good to wash your hands without soap with cool water.

After any mask and hand bath, be sure to grease the brushes with cream, the fatter it is, the better. During the day, you need to lubricate the skin with a light cream as needed.

Protection and prevention

In the cold season, the skin of the hands is especially vulnerable - outdoors it suffers from wind and freezing temperatures, and indoors - from dry air due to heating. Be sure to protect your hands with gloves or mittens from bad weather conditions. Useful to put at home or office humidifier... The cream for the winter period should be changed to a more saturated with useful elements and fats.

With age, age spots sometimes appear on the skin. To combat them, it is enough to lubricate the darkened areas of the skin with castor oil every evening. This procedure will make the skin tone of the hands even in a couple of months.

Careful care for the delicate and vulnerable skin of the hands will make it soft and pleasant to the touch and protect against signs of aging and fading.
