Often women believe that a manicure is enough for the beauty of their hands, so pay little attention to the skin of this part of the body and at the first signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles) care mainly for the face. However, this approach is wrong: it is harder to get rid of wrinkled net, bulging veins, age spots and dryness on the hands than on the face.
Why does the skin on the hands age?
The hands immediately reveal the woman's age: the skin on them is affected by adverse environmental conditions (wind, rain, frost), subject to stress in the form of degreasing with frequent use of hot water or detergents.
Often, physical activity causes the appearance of microcracks, which can lead to premature aging, which leads to wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work is associated with physical labor, then the beauty of the hands should be taken care of twice: the mechanical impact warms the skin, loses elasticity, begins to peel off, 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 are hormonal changes: during menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which leads to insufficient production of collagen and fat, and hence dryness, flaking, wrinkles and creases. .
The upper limbs, as well as the neck, have very vulnerable and delicate skin, which must be maintained and rejuvenated through procedures in the gym or at home.
Rejuvenate the skin of the hands at home
The most effective were nourishing masks, massage exercises designed to support joint mobility.
Masks can be based on natural ingredients that contain beneficial trace elements. For example, a mask based on olive oil and lemon juice is popular. Nourishes the skin, has a tonic effect and at the same time slightly brightens the surface of the hands. Olive oil is actively used in cosmetology due to its unique composition, rich in vitamins, acids and 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 for 20 minutes. Then rinse the mixture with water at room temperature, wipe your hands and apply them with nourishing cream. This mask is able to relieve irritation and smooth the skin of the fingers.

Even after one application the skin will become noticeably smoother, fine wrinkles will be removed. The mask is best applied 2 times a week for 2 months.

If the skin of the hands is prone to flaking and irritation, a mask with starch will be effective. Aromatic oils of lavender, pine or rosemary are added to soothe the skin. Also, a few drops of these aromatic oils can be added to the baby cream and lubricated with brushes.
