Often women think 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 with the first signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles) mostly take care of the face. However, this approach is wrong: it is harder to get rid of wrinkled nets, bulging veins, age spots and dryness on the hands than on the face.
Why does the skin of the hands age?
The hands immediately reveal the woman's age: the skin on them is under the influence of unfavorable environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), she is subjected to stress in the form of degreasing by frequent use of warm water or detergents.
Often, physical activity causes microcracks that can lead to premature aging, resulting in wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work is associated with physical work, then the beauty of the hands should be taken care of twice: from the mechanical impact the skin is rough, loses elasticity, begins to peel, veins appear, and the quality of nails deteriorates. .
Note!Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles on the fingers and skin of the hands are hormonal changes: menopause reduces estrogen levels, which leads to insufficient production of collagen and fat, and thus dryness, peeling, wrinkles and wrinkles. .
The upper limbs, as well as the neck, have very vulnerable and delicate skin, which needs to be maintained and rejuvenated with procedures in the salon or at home.
Rejuvenating the skin of the hands at home
Nourishing masks, massage exercises that help joint mobility, have proven to be the 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.
