Women often 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 (appearance of wrinkles) they mainly care about the face. However, this approach is wrong: it is more difficult to get rid of wrinkled mesh, protruding veins, age spots and dryness on the hands than on the face.
Why does the skin of the hands age?
Hands immediately indicate a woman's age: their skin is affected by adverse environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), exposed to stress in the form of liposuction with frequent use of hot water or detergents.
Physical exertion often causes the appearance of micro-cracks, which can lead to premature aging, leading to wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work is related to physical work, then the beauty of the hands should be taken care of twice: from mechanical impact, the skin grows, loses elasticity, it begins to flake, 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 amount of estrogen decreases, which leads to insufficient production of collagen and fat and consequently dryness, peeling, the formation of wrinkles and wrinkles. .
The upper limbs, such as the neck, have very sensitive and sensitive skin that needs to be maintained and renewed with procedures in the living room or at home.
Hand skin renewal at home
Nourishing masks, massage exercises designed to help joints proved to be most effective.
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 nourishes the skin, has a strengthening effect and at the same time slightly illuminates the surface of the hands. Olive oil is actively used in cosmetology due to its unique composition, rich in vitamins, acids, minerals.
For an olive mask, you only need to take a few tablespoons of oil and mix them with the juice of half a lemon. Apply evenly on the skin and leave on for 20 minutes. Then rinse the mixture with water at room temperature, dry your hands and apply nourishing cream on them. This mask is able to reduce irritation and smooth the skin on the fingers.
Masks for the whole night are especially effective. Popular mask with ground oatmeal, egg yolk from one egg and honey.

If the skin on the hands is sensitive to peeling and irritation, the starch mask will work. Aromatic oils of lavender, pine or rosemary are added as a skin soothing agent. You can also add a few drops of this aromatic oil in baby cream and lubricate with brushes.
The recipe for a hand mask with starch is simple. Rice (potato) starch must be added to chamomile broth (chilled, but freshly cooked).

The mixture is applied for half an hour, then washed off and the hands are lubricated with fragrance-free baby cream. This is an effective remedy for the skin, both in cold weather and with redness and inflammation due to allergic reactions.
