Women's hands are under heavy stress every day. The skin of the hands is very vulnerable, it is at times drier than the skin of the face and practically does not contain sebaceous glands. Over the years, the skin of the hands loses its firmness and elasticity, becomes dry, rough, and small cracks and wrinkles may appear on it. To keep your hands healthy and beautiful, you need to learn to take care of it and take proper care of it.

Causes of dry hands

Hand skin can be dry for several reasons, these include:

• weather conditions: in frost and cold wind, the skin of the hands coarsens, redness and cracks may appear on it, and in the summer heat, the skin quickly dehydrates and loses its elasticity;
• damage: cuts, bruises, scratches;
• low humidity in the room due to the included heating devices, which negatively affects the skin of the hands;
• detergents that destroy the upper protective layer of the skin and lead to allergies or dermatitis;
• too hot water, which dries out the natural grease on the skin;
• a constant lack of vitamins A, E, C in the body or a general vitamin deficiency, which often occurs in the winter-spring period;
• taking some medications.

Cleansing. Hands should be washed with water at room temperature with a gel intended for dry skin, which contains special additives that prevent drying out. After washing, hands must be thoroughly wiped off so that no moisture remains on them. If you have smeared your hands in paint or varnish, you do not need to clean them with acetone or gasoline, they dry your skin, use a special detergent solution to remove dirt.

Moisturizing. Use creams and lotions for your daily care that contain various moisturizing elements: lactic acid, sorbitol, glycerin. After 30 years, it is also necessary to use cosmetics that contain light-protective filters to prevent the appearance of age spots.

Protection. For household chores that involve prolonged exposure to water and detergents, apply a nourishing cream to your hands and wear vinyl or rubber gloves. Use a protective cream with herbal extracts during the fall-winter period. Apply to hands before going outside, always wear warm mittens or gloves. In summer, protect your hands from UV rays with sunscreen.

Hand masks: application nuances

Your appearance, including the condition of the skin, is influenced not only by external factors, but also. Want to look good? Learn to react less to a lot of stimuli. It's hard, but possible.

So, hand masks at home do not guarantee a quick effect. A noticeable result is only possible with the regular use of emollients. If you do them occasionally and according to your mood, there will be little sense.

It is unlikely that most women have the extra money to go to salons and take special hand care. Indeed, as practice shows, home masks are no worse than salon masks, since they consist exclusively of natural ingredients and act quite gently.

Hand masks at home for dry skin are made at least 2 times a week. First, carefully study the ingredients of the mask, and if necessary, carry out an allergy test, and only after that start the treatment procedures.

Before the procedure, it is advisable to prepare: wash your hands cleanly and massage the skin well, dispersing the blood. It is necessary to apply the mask, starting from the fingertips and making circular movements at the same time. Your main goal is to completely cover your skin.

The level of neglect and dryness of the skin on the hands can vary. If you are acting for preventive purposes, then it is enough to start with a half-hour session. If your hands are badly damaged, prepare to keep the mask on for 3 to 10 hours, while creating a greenhouse effect with polyethylene. For maximum effect on top of cellophane, warm your hands with cotton gloves.

When wrapping your hands with plastic, make sure that it is tightly fixed around the wrist and does not allow cool air to enter. You can wash off the mask with plain warm water, but if for this purpose you use a decoction of calendula, chamomile or lavender, the effect will be more pronounced and healing.
