Woman’s Passions

Hands can tell a lot about a woman - not only about her health, but also mood, troubles and??¦ even attitude to life.

 

Daily hand care should fall into habit for you. Hands are a part of body, subjected to exposure more often, than others. Female hands come into contact with water constantly, what leads to coverlet evaporation. The harder water is, the quicker hand skin loses its beauty. Washing dishes and laundry accompanying a woman in her household routines every day damage her hands. Put a cream jar near your sink and wash-stand.

 

Apply cream gently on hand skin every time you contact with water. Rubbing cream into your hands, imagine you’re putting on a thin glove, which is a little too small for you, smoothing it out on all fingers. While doing household duties, don’t ignore rubber gloves. However, don’t wear them more than for 10 minutes.

Hands start sweating abundantly, and this leads to dryness and skin irritation. If you need to wear gloves longer, then you should powder your hands with talc or apply a coat of cream on them. Then put on thin cotton gloves, and only then - rubber ones. Now you can set to work bravely.

 

Many women cannot get used working in gloves, as they don’t sense surface of objects they are washing or cleaning. Then, especially when you are going to scrub, for example, clear-out, or planting flowers in your garden, rub protective cream in your hands previously. You should moisten hand skin constantly, but use moistening creams only inside. Before you go out, apply only nourishing cream. Always take a tube of cream with you and apply it on hands as often as you can.

 

In autumn and winter hand skin needs cream feeding much more often, than during warm seasons. Use soft soap with acidity, close to natural skin acidity, - pH about 5. When the weather is cold and frosty, don’t go outside without gloves. Hand skin of women-drivers is damaged much quicker. Running from house to a car, wiping windscreen, fix windscreen wipers - it’s so quickly and easy without gloves. However, this short supercooling is quite sufficient to make your hands hardened.

 

Skin of back of hands is almost similar to facial skin texture. Why does it peel and get inflamed more often? Same reason is to blame - frequent contact with water, soap and powders. Besides dehydration, coverlet loses fat pool while contact with chemicals. Washing powder solutions and dishwashing detergents make hand skin dry, limp and wrinkled.

 

Hand masks also can help you a lot. You can use honey, egg yolk to prepare them, add small quantity of liquid ammonia and glycerin. Hand masks resemble warming compresses. Apply mask-compress on clean hands, cover with compress paper and put on warm mittens. Leave compress for 30 minutes, then rinse with warm water. Use hand masks in case of necessity.

 

Carrot mask: grate one carrot large, add 1 table spoon of sour cream, 1 tea spoon of olive oil. Mix carefully.

 

Starch mask: knead two potatoes in their jackets, add 50 g of milk and a tea spoon of olive oil. Smear hands with warmed olive oil. Put on cotton gloves. Olive oil has unique medicinal effect. It is especially useful for inflamed peeling skin.

 

If you have a chance, then you should leave this compress for the whole night. Effect of masks increases, if you put your hands in hot water for 2-3 minutes before procedure - this way you will steam them out. If your hands become red often - wrap them up with white cabbage leaves for a night. If you notice reddening, use bleaching hand creams. Never pour out water, which you used to boil potato or rice. This water is a wonderful antibacterial and softening cosmetic. If you try putting your hands in potato broth for 5 minutes every day, your skin will become silky and delicate, and nails will stop exfoliating.

 

You can prepare home-made hand lotions and creams by yourself. Home-made lotion removes hand skin peeling very well. Here’s a recipe: mix 1 table spoon of pounded fresh or dry herbs: plantain, chamomile and calendula. Pout mixture with 1 glass of boiling water, leave for 2 hours, filter and add 1 tea spoon of honey and slightly softened butter.

Draw 2 table spoons of rose or dog-rose petals on water and vodka mixed in equal proportions. Add 1 tea spoon of liquid ammonia, 2 table spoons of glycerin to 0,5 glass of solution.

Hardened and red skin on elbows brings many troubles to women. Wipe elbows with a lemon slice and apply cream for dry skin or you also can put your elbows in warmed vegetable oil for a while.

Put fingertips in each half and wait for 10 minutes. Then wrap both halves in foil and put in fridge. You will be able to use this lemon for a week, while daily usage.
