Self-care is a complex and regular procedure. It is important that none of the steps are left out of your routine. And, admit, you often forget about your hands. We advise you to have several tubes of cream: one at home, one at work and one in your bag. This will help you keep your skin firm and hydrated all day long.

Take care of your cuticles

Some creams are aimed at treating the skin of the hands and cuticles. If this is not about your product, you will have to take care of it separately.

Be careful with water

There is so much in tap water, from chloroform to pesticides. Therefore, we recommend reducing water procedures to the required minimum, washing your hands with warm, but not hot water, choosing a soap with a mild formula.

Enter night care

Any woman, to one degree or another, comes into contact with household chores. Washing, cleaning, cooking - all these daily activities can really have a detrimental effect on the skin of the hands.

The easiest and most affordable way to protect the delicate skin of your hands at home is to use rubber gloves. Especially when it comes to interaction with water or chemicals. It is important that gloves are sized and washed and dried thoroughly after use.

If the use of gloves, for some reason, is not possible, you can use protective creams. The silicone cream will create a protective shell on the hands and significantly reduce the harmful effects on the skin.

If after homework your hands are very dirty, a simple recipe will help to clean them: mix boiled potato gruel with milk and lemon juice. You can just use lemon, it whitens the skin perfectly and is a good antiseptic.

If the skin of the hands is badly damaged during the work, a regenerating mask will help well. To prepare it, you need to stir starch (1/2 tablespoon) and glycerin (50 g) in warm water (50 g). Apply the prepared mixture to your hands for 30 minutes, rinse with water. The mask heals and regenerates the skin well.

Glycerin-based nourishing masks are also very effective. They repair damaged hand skin, nourish and protect it. You can make masks with the addition of various components:

In addition to being thoroughly protected and deeply nourished, the skin of the hands needs daily hydration. There are many creams on the market today that you can carry with you and are easy to apply as needed.

Before purchasing any product, you should carefully study its composition. In the best way I moisturize the skin with a cream with the addition of natural oils. Hyaluronic acid retains moisture well.

For daytime use, products with a light texture are better - gels, lotions. Oil-based creams can be applied at night, they are good for nourishing and regenerating the skin of the hands.

You can make your own effective moisturizers using the available ingredients. Banana mask moisturizes and nourishes well. Mash one banana and mix with heavy cream (2 tablespoons). Apply the mask to your hands and hold for 20 minutes.

Additionally, you can use a homemade moisturizing lotion. You need to mix 100 grams of milk and 100 grams of distilled water. The skin will always stay hydrated if you use this lotion after every hand wash.

Hands are our calling card. The beautiful and well-groomed hands of women are especially attractive. There are many simple and at the same time effective ways to preserve the beauty of hands.

But there are some basic rules you need to follow every day to keep your hands beautiful.

Well-groomed hands - step 1

First, every time you lubricate your hands with cream(and it is better to do this after each contact with water) it is necessary to massage fingers and palms. The cream should be rubbed from the tips of the fingers to their base, and then along the back of the hand to the wrist. Massaging the cream vigorously is especially beneficial because it increases blood flow to the skin.

Oil massage is very effective for well-groomed hands, for example olive oil. After this massage, the hands become soft and tender.

Well-groomed hands - step 2

Hand skin peeling should be carried out at least once a week. You can use a store-bought scrub for this, but granulated sugar or corn grits are also fine. Lubricate your hands with vegetable oil, then rub the cereal or sugar on the outside of your palms.

Well-groomed hands - step 3

It is necessary to periodically do procedures to improve the well-groomed skin of the hands. A decoction of chamomile, sage, linden blossom will help you with this: pour a hot decoction into a bowl, immerse your hands in it for 10-15 minutes, then dry them with a napkin or towel and rub a fat nourishing cream into your skin.

When in winter the skin of the hands peels off and cracks appear, a potato compress will help well: boil the potatoes in their skins, peel and mash, then apply warm mashed potatoes to your hands and put on rubber gloves, leave the compress overnight. A hot milk bath will help with chapped skin on your hands.

If your hands often sweat, make a dill and potassium permanganate bath. It is advisable to do them every day. To do this, for 1 liter of water with potassium permanganate (potassium permanganate needs a little bit so that the solution becomes barely pink), you need to take 2 bunches of finely chopped dill. Also, with this problem, a decoction of oak bark helps well (pour 50g of bark into 1 liter of hot water and boil for 30 minutes, strain and dilute with water).

To whiten the skin of your hands, use the following composition: 50 gr. mix glycerin with 100 ml of water and lemon juice.

Well-groomed hands - step 4

Sometimes painful cracks can appear on the elbows, which we often forget about. Well-groomed hands are beautiful hands from shoulder to fingertips. To eliminate this problem, you need to make a soap and soda bath: dissolve 50 g of soda in 1 liter of hot water. Lubricate your elbows with cream and immerse in the bath for 10 minutes, periodically rubbing the skin with a pumice stone.

Well-groomed hands - step 5

Another attribute of well-groomed hands is nails. If you want your nails to be always strong and healthy, take care of them regularly, and also try to eat right.

The most effective remedy for brittle nails is lemon. Dip your nails into the cut lemon halves.

For 2 weeks of such treatment, they will receive a full complex of vitamins. A salt bath will also be useful, which is made from 1 tsp. salt in 60 ml of boiled water (the salt should completely dissolve) and heated to 40 degrees. The duration of the bath is 20-30 minutes, the frequency is 2-3 times a week.

Do not be lazy, take care of your hands every day, do exercises and hand massage, and then they will be delicate, silky and beautiful. Let well-groomed hands become your calling card.
