Hand skin ages very quickly. It is on the hands that you can first see the passage of time and only systematic care can change that. Find out how to prevent hand skin aging.
The skin of the hands - along with the skin of the neck - begins to age first. Sun, cold and wind, detergents - they cause discoloration on the hands, the skin becomes dry, thin and slack.
This is because its natural protection is quite weak - the skin of the hand has a small amount of sebaceous glands and thin fatty tissue. Without the support of smart care, it quickly loses its pretty appearance and betrays its age ruthlessly. So how do you prevent hand skin aging?
How to prevent hand skin aging?
- Use mild, natural soaps
When washing your hands, use mild, natural soaps or lotions that do not dry the skin. Avoid contact of your hands with strong detergents - always wear protective gloves when doing housework. If you are allergic to latex, wear thin cotton gloves underneath.
- Use a good hand cream
Have a good hand cream on hand, which is perfectly absorbed and does not leave an oily layer on the skin, discouraging from using the cosmetic. Ideally, it should contain moisturizing, protective and soothing substances, e.g. glycerin, aloe, allantoin, panthenol. Use it after each hand wash and whenever you feel your skin feels dry. When you go outside, use a cream that also contains sunscreen.
- Do a hand peeling once a week
If you do not have a hand care product, use a sugar body scrub that moisturizes the skin well. Then put on a mask (e.g. gloves), serum or massage a generous amount of nourishing cream - it's good to have vitamin C to lighten discoloration - and wear cotton gloves, preferably overnight.
This kind of compress will make the ingredients of the cosmetic better penetrate the skin. Although home treatments are the basis of care, they will not eliminate all traces that time leaves on the hands. However, this miracle can be achieved by professional beauty treatments - remove discoloration, restore skin firmness and volume. The offer of such treatments is very rich and it is really worth using themuse.
