The condition of our skin directly depends on what we eat and drink. If you drink little water, it will become dry, flaky and rough from a lack of liquid. This is due to the fact that dehydrated skin cannot renew cells in time. Collagen, which makes it elastic, is not produced from a lack of fluid.
Most often, rough skin is on the hands and heels. This is also due to the fact that there it is most exposed to physical impact. Rough skin on the hands is also in women who have a lot of contact with chemicals, expose their hands to wind, frost, cold water. From this, the skin coarsens and looks ugly. To avoid this, you need to use gloves in the winter and during homework, grease your hands with cream and do not forget to moisturize your skin from the inside - drink enough water.
If you still could not avoid the fact that the skin is weathered and coarsened, you need to immediately take action. After frost, if your hands are very cold, you can’t warm them in hot water, first keep them cool and then make a warm bath with chamomile.
To prevent skin coarsening after frost, you need to make a mask with a nourishing cream or linseed oil.
To do this, densely greased hands are covered with a napkin or gloves are put on them.
Well soften the hands of the bath with sauerkraut, potato broth or mask with mashed potatoes. The skin after this becomes soft and tender. If rough calluses appear on the palms, steam them in a soap-soda bath and gently rub with a pumice stone.
Hand skin can be softened with peeling. It is good to massage them with this composition: mix the banana with brown sugar and olive oil. Even the roughest skin will soften if you massage it with a linen bag with warmed sea salt and herbs: sage, plantain and chamomile.
Often women forget about elbow care, but rough skin can appear on them. Frequent massage with lemon peel will help to cope with this. A good effect against coarse elbows will be from baths with olive oil: dip them in a bowl of warm oil, after 10 minutes, rub them with a pumice stone. And do not forget to grease your elbows with cream.
Most women are bothered by rough skin on their heels. This is due to long walking in uncomfortable shoes and improper foot care. Soaps and soda baths or potato starch baths well soften corns . After the steamed skin is rubbed with a brush or pumice. You can remove corns with a compress from aloe leaves, gruel of onions, grated apple or lemon. Old corns can be softened by tying a crumb of rye bread for the night,
soaked in apple cider vinegar, fresh cabbage leaf, greasing the heels with honey.
A very effective cream against rough skin is easy to do on your own: take half a glass of olive oil and rub three carrots there. After a day, squeeze and strain. This cream has no contraindications and side effects.
If you have rough, dehydrated skin, regularly take care of it with mild moisturizers, make sure to drink at least two liters of water per day, eat right.
