Often women think that a manicure is enough for the beauty of their hands, so they pay a little attention to the skin on this part of the body, and with the first signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles), they mainly take care of the face. But this approach is wrong: it's harder to get rid of a wrinkled mesh, protruding veins, age spots and dryness on the hands than on the face.
Why does the skin of the hands age?
Hands immediately give a woman age: the skin on them is affected by adverse environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), becomes stressed in the form of degreasing by frequent use of hot water or detergents.
Often, physical activity causes the appearance of microcracks, which can lead to premature aging, resulting in wrinkles on the fingers.
If the work is associated with physical work, the beauty of the hands must be taken care of twice: from the mechanical impact, the skin becomes rough, loses elasticity, it begins to peel off, veins appear, and the quality of the nails deteriorates.
Note!Another cause of the appearance of wrinkles on the fingers and skin of the hands is hormonal changes: during menopause, estrogen levels fall, leading to insufficient production of collagen and fats, and thus dryness, peeling, the formation of wrinkles and creases. .
The upper limbs, like the neck, have very vulnerable and sensitive skin, which must be maintained and rejuvenated during procedures in the salon or at home.
