You probably know the beautiful Yasmina Rossi, a woman who at the age of 56 conquers her beauty. Of course, her appearance is also excellent natural data. But, besides this, the reason is that she worked all her life as a model, and this forces her to keep herself in good shape and carefully take care of herself.
The only thing that, no, does not betray, but hints at her age, is the skin around her eyes, neck and arms. It is on these three points that special attention should be paid.
Many women are interested in hand care at home, because even weekly trips to beauty salons are clearly not enough. Here is a complete program of home hand care, which will not only help prevent their aging, but also save you from permanent dryness and rudeness.
So, hand care at home includes several important steps.
Cleansing
This is usually paid little attention. Many women believe that using hand cream at night is quite enough. Although before applying the product to the face, they thoroughly cleanse the skin and tone it up so that the cream is better absorbed. Proper hand cleansing is also very important. Often the cause of dryness is the wrong choice of soap or hand gel. It is better to choose a natural soap that contains healthy oils, but you need to keep in mind that it requires a special soap dish and costs more. After washing, you can pat your hands with a towel and, without waiting for discomfort, immediately apply any moisturizer. It is also advisable to purchase an antibacterial hand gel or antiseptic that you can always keep in your purse.
Even in the arsenal you need to have hand scrubs. They are easy to cook at home:
1. Oatmeal scrub. Everything is very simple: ordinary oatmeal is brewed with boiling water and, without waiting for them to be cooked, it is slightly diluted with cold water. Then with this mixture you need to massage your skin. Oatmeal gently scrub and perfectly soften, you will immediately feel the effect. Such a scrub can be used daily, because it is very soft.
2. Coffee grounds scrub. Just coffee grounds as a scrub will not work, but it can be mixed with liquid soap, and even better - with natural oil: olive, apricot, peach. But it must be borne in mind that it is more difficult to wash the oil. Such a scrub is applied several times a week.
3. Sugar scrub. Honey is added to regular sugar, ampoules with vitamins A and E can be purchased at the pharmacy. Hands are massaged for about five minutes, sugar acts as scrubbing particles, honey nourishes the skin of the hands. Sugar scrub, like coffee scrub, is also quite aggressive, it can be done two to three times a week.
You can add a little lemon juice to the mixture if you need to whiten the skin and nails, make scrubs on the base cream or sour cream, if the skin of the hands is sensitive.
Hand care at home - hand masks
In order to get rid of peeling, dryness, tightness, make softening and moisturizing masks.
1. Oil masks. It’s not necessary to mix something complicated based on oils. It is enough to put on your hands at night any suitable oil and put on cotton gloves. Most suitable oils: olive, linseed, mango oil, shea butter. The last two are hard, they can be useful for dry skin care not only on the hands. You can add a few drops of vitamins A or E to the oil, but these products themselves contain many useful substances and are able to eliminate even severe dryness in two or three uses.
2. Warm compresses. Heat enhances the effect of any vegetable oil. Take three parts of oil and one part of honey, heat in a water bath. To the touch, the mixture should be pleasantly hot. Apply to problem areas, wrap with gauze and put on fabric gloves or mittens. Hold for 20-30 minutes, rinse, apply a moisturizer.
In general, for hand care, you can make any masks designed for very dry skin, including purchased ones. If there are no special problems, then choose a mask to your liking and do it once or twice a week. This is the difference in the prevention of dryness and peeling.
Hand care at home - baths
For the baths, you can use the ingredients from which it is difficult to make a mask. For instance:
1. Beer bath for hands. The beer heats up, chamomile flowers are added to it, the mixture needs to be insisted a little. When it cools down to a pleasant warmth, you need to hold hands in it for 15 minutes. Chamomile disinfects, softens and soothes the skin, prevents the appearance of burrs, beer contains vitamin B, which is also called beauty vitamin.
2. Herbal baths. There are a lot of recipes. Chamomile, mint, linden, flaxseed perfectly soften, oak bark relieves redness, St. John's wort, rose hip, lingonberry nourish. You can buy ready-made mixtures of herbs. Preparing the baths is simple: you need to pour 2 tablespoons of chopped herbs in a glass of boiling water, insist for 20 minutes. Keep your hands in the broth, brought to a pleasant warm temperature, you need about 15-20 minutes.
After such baths, your hands need to be blotted with a towel and generously greased with a nourishing cream. These procedures are done on demand or every other day with 10-15 single courses.
Homemade hand cream
Hand cream, and indeed any cream, is more difficult to make at home than, say, a lip balm. Here is one original and, most importantly, a simple recipe for home hand cream, which has been tested by more than one user. Its composition is as simple as the stunning effect!
So, you will need the following ingredients:
1. Children's body lotion "Johnsons Baby."
2. Vitamin E, can be in capsules or on a cream basis.
3. Vaseline.
The components can be mixed by eye. The main thing is not to overdo it with vitamin E, its recommended concentration can always be found in the instructions. Vaseline is added solely for consistency, as the baby body lotion is too thin and light for adult skin.
All components are thoroughly whipped with a whisk or even with a mixer and laid out in convenient bubbles.
This is regular hand care at home. Why does every woman need him? On the skin of the hands there are very few sebaceous glands (the same as on the skin around the eyes and on the neck), therefore, even if you do not work with your hands from morning to night, they will inevitably age faster. Of course, all these recipes will help if peeling hands and dryness are not associated with internal problems, for example, a lack of vitamin A.
