Often women believe that one manicure is enough for the beauty of their hands, so they pay little attention to the skin on this part of the body, and at the first signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles) they mainly take care of the face. However, this approach is wrong: a wrinkled mesh, protruding veins, age spots and dryness are more difficult to get rid of on the hands than on the face.
Why does the skin of the hands age?
Hands immediately indicate a woman's age: the skin on them is adversely affected by adverse environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), becomes stressed in the form of degreasing with frequent use of hot water or detergents.
Often physical activity causes the appearance of microcracks, which can lead to premature aging, which leads to wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work is associated with physical labor, then the beauty of the hands should be cared for in two ways: from mechanical action, the skin coarsens, loses elasticity, it begins to peel off, veins appear, and the quality of the nails deteriorates .
Note!Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles on the fingers and skin of the hands is hormonal changes: during menopause, the level of estrogen decreases, which leads to insufficient production of collagen and fats, and as a result, dryness, peeling, wrinkling .
The upper limbs, like the neck, have very vulnerable and delicate skin that requires care and rejuvenation through procedures in the salon or at home.
Hand skin rejuvenation at home
The most effective proved to be nourishing masks, massage exercises to promote joint mobility.
Masks can be based on natural ingredients that contain useful trace elements. For example, a mask based on olive oil and lemon juice is popular. It cares for the skin, has a toning effect and at the same time lightens the surface of the hand slightly. Olive oil is actively used in cosmetology because of its unique composition rich in vitamins, acids and minerals.
For an olive mask, you just need to take a few tablespoons of oil and mix it with the juice of half a lemon. Apply evenly to the skin and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse the mixture with room temperature water, wipe your hands dry and apply a nourishing cream. This mask can soothe irritation and smooth the skin on your fingers.
Masks are particularly effective for the whole night. A popular mask with ground oatmeal, egg yolk and honey.
To prepare it you need to take:
- one yolk;
- two tablespoons of crushed oatmeal;
- a tablespoon of honey.
Mix everything, spread evenly on hands, put on gloves and leave the product on all night. Rinse off in the morning and apply an emollient to the skin. After just one application, the skin becomes noticeably smoother and fine lines are reduced. The mask is best applied 2 times a week for 2 months.
Important!Hand rejuvenation at home gives a quick result only with the systematic implementation of procedures.
To achieve a rejuvenating effect, you can also use:
- vegetable oils;
- cooked potatoes;
- Sea-salt;
- sour cream (high fat content);
- lemon juice and zest.
If the skin on your hands is prone to peeling and irritation, a starch mask is effective. Aromatic lavender, pine or rosemary oils are added to soothe the skin. A few drops of these aromatic oils can also be added to baby cream and smeared with brushes.
The recipe for a starch hand mask is simple. Rice (potato) starch must be added to chamomile broth (chilled, but freshly boiled). Mix the resulting mixture well until you get a thick sour cream. Add a few drops of juniper or fir oil. The mixture is applied for half an hour, then washed off and rubbed hands with unscented baby cream. This is an effective remedy for the skin, both in cold weather and with redness and inflammation due to allergic reactions.
How to tighten loose skin on hands? If the care takes place exclusively at home, then it makes sense to supplement the procedures to be carried out regularly with self-massage.
