Have you ever noticed that your face looks much younger than your hands? There is a simple explanation for this: the editorial staff of Passion.ru has found three main reasons why it is the hands that give out your age without a passport, and is in a hurry to share this with you.
Household chores
Constant washing of dishes and floors, weekly wet cleaning - all this causes premature aging of the skin of the hands. Especially if aggressive detergents are added to the mechanical effect. Constant exposure to hot water and thermal burns dry out the epidermis and contribute to the destruction of collagen and elastin fibers. When these two "beauty proteins" are destroyed, the skin becomes dry and thin, its natural framework becomes thinner and wrinkles appear on the surface.
Antibacterial detergents are most dangerous for the skin of the hands. They kill natural beneficial microflora, dry out the epidermis and, over time, turn the skin of the hands into sandpaper. Rubber gloves for cleaning can save delicate hands, they will not allow aggressive cleaning agents to come into contact with the skin.

You can not only save your hands from premature aging, but also turn cleaning into a SPA ritual. Have you ever heard of Brazilian manicure? This is a type of sloppy manicure that is available in many salons. Its main feature is that the softening of the cuticle and increased nourishment of the skin of the hands occurs thanks to gloves with a special cream. If you are willing to sacrifice cleaning gloves for the sake of beautiful hands, then before putting them on the palms, either generously lubricate your hands with cream, or add a little lotion directly to the gloves. You can use any budget cream that you use every day for this.
On contact with warm water, the pores will open, and moisturizers will penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis. This technique also has a small drawback. Most likely, your hands in gloves will slip, which will definitely not simplify or speed up the cleaning process.
Exposure to UV radiation
If many women have already realized the importance of using SPF products on the face, then the use of SPF protection for the décolleté and hands area seems to some to be a senseless waste of the product. Hands suffer from the harmful effects of sunlight as much as any other part of the body. UV study again destroys collagen fibers in the skin, which leads to thinning of the epidermis and the appearance of age spots.
We nevertheless found a way out of this difficult situation: some companies add SPF filters to moisturizing creams, which perfectly protect from the sun's rays. But to combat age-related pigmentation, you will need products with a whitening effect. Find the best anti-aging hand creams from Clarins or Guinot. They effectively fight pigmentation and deeply nourish the skin, so they deserve to take their rightful place on your dressing table or desktop.

Lemon juice also has a whitening effect, so if you do not have wounds and cracks on your hands, and you are not afraid of acids, you can safely rub a couple of drops between your palms.
