Hand masks
Most women over 40 find that even the most expensive creams are no substitute for home care. This is why homemade baths, masks and peels are incredibly successful.
For the preparation of masks for all areas of care, you can literally use any products that can be found at home on the refrigerator shelf.
With boiled potatoes
You need to boil two unpeeled potatoes and, without cooling, grate them. Then chop the cucumber in the same way. Mix the two products. If the composition is too thick, you can add a little warm milk to it.
Apply the mask to the hands and leave to "act" for about twenty minutes.
With olive oil
In olive oil (two tablespoons) add a little lemon juice - just a few drops - and two drops of iodine. Oil your fingers and wait ten minutes. After that, the mixture can be washed off.
This mask is interesting in that it not only nourishes the skin of the hands, but also strengthens the nail plate.
With protein
Separate the white from the yolk and beat until stiff, like a meringue. Add a drop of lemon juice and olive oil. Apply the composition and hold for fifteen minutes. Your fingers will receive excellent nutrition.
And the yellow can be applied to the face without any additives, and lay down with it for a few minutes - a wonderful mask against skin aging.
With oatmeal

Such a mask can be used as a "night" mask, that is, you will need to apply the composition to your hands and put gloves on them. The effect is incredible! This is confirmed by reviews of women.

Fat sour cream (one spoon) should be combined with egg yolk and a spoonful of liquid honey. Mix the components well so that the mass becomes homogeneous. Apply to the hands and leave to act for about twenty minutes.
Simple and easy - useful hand baths
If your hands have very dry skin, oil baths will help revive the fingers, restoring them to their velvety texture of yesteryear. Such oil baths - this is the name of the procedure in the salon - should be taken as a habit by every woman. In addition, it is nothing complicated, but a quick result in the form of rejuvenation of the skin of the hands, as they say, on the face.
With butter
To prepare the bath, you can use any vegetable oil. But it is better to take olive, peach or almond.
- Beforehand, the oil should be slightly warmed up and a few drops of lemon juice should be added to it.
- Pour the product into a flat bowl so that it is convenient to dip your hands in it.
- Dip the brushes in the oil for ten to fifteen minutes.
- Then, gently wipe off the excess liquid with a paper towel.
The oil can be reused rather than thrown away.
With soda
Baking soda baths will make your fingers feel silky soft.
- Soda (two teaspoons) should be dissolved in a glass of warm water.
- Grease your hands with warm vegetable oil and soak them in a soda solution.
- The duration of the procedure is twenty minutes.
Then dry your hands with a paper towel or soft cloth and reapply the oil.
With a decoction of potatoes
You can use potato broth to prepare the bath. Wait for the liquid to cool and then add a little vegetable oil to it. Now you can give up.
The duration of the procedure is fifteen minutes.
With salt
Mineral baths give an excellent effect. Here you need to add sea salt to the water, but in its absence, regular salt will do. The procedure helps to remove redness from the skin and also has a firming effect on the surface of the nail plate.
Preparing a bath is very simple: you have to dissolve salt in lukewarm water and add a few drops of citrus essential oil.
In vinegar
With hyperhidrosis of the palms, when the skin sweats a lot, vinegar baths will help. For two glasses of lukewarm water, you should take one hundred milliliters of table vinegar - no vinegar essence! The duration of the procedure does not exceed five minutes.
Hand gymnastics
To keep your hands young as long as possible, it is advisable to perform a series of simple exercises during the day.
- We actively stretch for several minutes and connect the fingers of both hands.
- With the fingers of one hand, we try to spread the fingers of the other as far as possible.
- For the third exercise, you will need to purchase a small ball to fit in the palm of your hand. With your index finger and thumb (first one hand, then the second), try to squeeze it as tight as possible.
Hand massage
Massage is a real magic remedy, which we unfortunately forget. But it is precisely the caresses and tapping that improve local blood circulation. The result is better absorption of nutrients and accelerated tissue regeneration. At the same time, massage helps to relax the hands, which is also very important.
Hand massage can be done anywhere, for example, sitting in a chair in front of the TV.
- Make a fist with one hand and rub the palm of the other with it.
- Massage your wrist.
- Rub your fingers. A pleasant feeling of warmth should appear in them.
- Stretch each joint.
- Imagine that you are wearing thin gloves. Take turns "removing" them from each finger.
And as a last step, apply your own care cream to your hands.
As you can see, home care using only natural products is far superior to salon treatments. In addition, such procedures do not present any difficulty.
