Proper hand care

Hands, like other parts of the body, require care and attention to themselves. And every woman understands that the beautiful skin of the hands is far from the last place. For the skin of the hands to be healthy and beautiful, a sufficient set of vitamins and minerals entering the body is required. Beautiful hand skin means softness and tenderness, firmness and even color.

The skin of our hands is exposed to aggressive influences every day: we wash the dishes, clean, wash, do our work in the beds with flowers or vegetables. Some of us, by virtue of our profession, come into contact with chemicals. Therefore, in order not to be upset ahead of time with premature aging of the skin of the hands, let's take a little time with our hands.

Various creams, even expensive ones, do not always help in an instant, and this is not because the cream does not meet its characteristics, most likely, this product does not contain exactly those nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that are needed in your case. What to do?

Before you rush to buy any other products, try to use not only the cream you have already bought, but also the treatment with natural remedies that you often have at your fingertips. For example, different types of household chemicals, when exposed to them, caused irritation, the same washing powder or chlorine-containing bleaches have a negative effect. Of course, rubber gloves would have to be worn before going to work. And yet, what to do in case of the resulting irritation of the skin of the hands?

Use this recipe:

Take 20 grams of regular hand cream and add 10 grams of calendula oil, 1 teaspoon of starch and 5 ml of lemon juice to enhance skin nourishment. Mix everything thoroughly. The prepared mixture should be stored in the refrigerator. It is advisable to use the remedy after preliminary steaming of the hands, after which cotton gloves should be put on, after 30 minutes they can be removed, and again the remaining product on the hands should be rubbed well into the skin.

Hands are exposed to the sun, wind, and hot and cold water, so the skin on the hands becomes dry and even rough. There are many different skin softening creams available. But now we will consider another recipe for medicinal oil, which is one of the most effective.

This will require 100 ml of almond or coconut oil, 10 g of glycerin and 1 tablespoon lemon juice... All ingredients must be mixed and applied to steamed skin for 2 hours. Of course, this recipe should be used before bed.

Ingredients such as glycerin and starch (in equal proportions) can be used every night for a massage. The skin of the hands will be soft and snow-white. To whiten your hands, you can also use a mixture of boiled potatoes with milk (the consistency of liquid sour cream). Hold the mixture on your hands for 5-6 minutes, then rinse and grease with a nourishing cream. These procedures can be done 2-3 times a week.

Taking care of your hands every day is not an overkill, because the skin is susceptible to contact with various substances, and if there are microcracks on the skin, then the effect of these, often harmful substances, increases. All this can cause various skin diseases and allergies. Therefore, during work associated with the contact of harmful substances, you must wear protective gloves, and after finishing work, lubricate the skin with a nourishing cream.
