Hands can safely be called the calling card of any woman, so the skin in this place requires special attention.
Often, a useful hand skin care product is prepared at home. Below you will find 10 tips that will make this procedure even more effective.
1. The ingredients you use to make your homemade mask should be at room temperature. Mix them in a ceramic or porcelain bowl, avoiding plastic and aluminum.
2. Before applying the mask, wash your hands thoroughly with soap. You can make a light scrub.
3. A good option is to steam your skin by placing your hands in hot water with herbs – sage, chamomile and calendula.
4. Add a few drops of essential oil to the mask. It will enhance the cosmetic effect and give the mask a pleasant aroma.
5. Put on cotton or polyethylene gloves to secure the effect and protect clothes and furniture from contamination. Additionally, you can wrap your hands in a towel.
6. Wash off the mask with wet wipes or warm water, then apply nourishing cream to your hands and almond oil to your cuticles and nails.
7. Perform hand care procedures in the evening or before bedtime so that the skin can rest. After the mask, avoid household chores, contact with water, washing dishes and walking outside.
8. To maintain healthy skin on your hands, it is enough to apply the mask once a week. If you have skin problems - dryness, oiliness, cracks and others, use the mask 2-3 times a week.
9. Remember that even homemade cosmetics do not work on their own. To keep your hands soft, smooth and velvety, regularly nourish and moisturize them with creams.
10. For healthy and beautiful skin, you should eat right, get enough sleep, avoid stress and eliminate bad habits from your life.
