A modern woman knows how to look young and fresh even at a fairly mature age, and only her hands often give out the age of her mistress.
Bringing their face, hair and figure into perfect condition, women often forget about their hands, although it is their skin that needs the most care. The state of nails depends on her health, so hand care is one of the important stages on the way to beauty and perfection. A special cream will be the first step towards beauty, since its task is to nourish the skin, protect it from the external environment, strengthen nails, relieve inflammation, and moisturize.
Proper skin care
Many women mistakenly believe that a manicure is enough to maintain the beauty of their hands, but this is not so. No bright varnish or beautiful pattern on the nail plate can hide dry skin or fine age wrinkles.
The beauty of a woman's hand primarily depends on the health of the skin, and we destroy it with detergents, frequent contact with water and the external environment, which also brings many unpleasant surprises. In order to keep the skin young, healthy, you should remember a few simple rules:
- skin does not like cold water – Hands should be washed only with warm water;
- frequent washing, although it is the basic rule of hygiene, leads to dehydration of the skin, if it is bad to dry your hands afterwards;
- better to use liquid soap - it is slightly softer than hard;
- do not rub dirt on your hands, as friction damages the skin, if necessary, to remove particularly difficult contaminants, it is better to use lemon juice;
- if there is work ahead that involves contact with detergents, you can use silicone gel, creating a protective film on the hands and protects them from harmful soap solution;
- to maintain skin elasticity, creams should be used at least twice a day;
- at least once every one and a half weeks, baths should be done using special products or decoctions of herbs. The composition of the herbal collection must necessarily include chamomile, succession, linden;
- we should not forget that in addition to chemical cleaners, ordinary products can harm the skin, which we use in the kitchen, among them are onions, oranges, new potatoes, garlic;
- in addition to external use, one should not forget that youth and beauty also depend on quality nutrition; one should not forget to include fruits and vegetables, as well as animal protein in the menu. As a restorative method, you can periodically use vitamin E and vitamin A, they will help restore not only the health of the skin of the whole body, but also the condition of the hair.
How to take care of your nails
