To date, cosmetology has made such progress, which it was impossible to even think 10-15 years ago. Every day, new creams, procedures and products are invented to rejuvenate the skin. Unfortunately, many girls in pursuit of the perfect face forgets about the beauty of hands, and in fact they grow old much faster. This article will discuss different ways to rejuvenate the skin of the hands and protect it from fading.
Causes of skin fading
Every woman knows that unkempt hands can completely spoil the first impression of a man. Of course, it is impossible to stop the aging process, but it is in our power to understand and take into account the causes that cause it. Let us examine several factors that contribute to the appearance of wrinkles on the skin.
Weather
Bright sunlight always uplifting, improves well-being, brings to mind pleasant days spent at sea or in nature. However, you should not abuse the sun. Ultraviolet - one of the main enemies of women's skin. A long stay in the heat in summer provokes drying of the skin and dehydrates the body. Pigment spots, dryness begin to appear, the skin becomes rough.
In winter, when it is cold outside, the hands of many girls are unbearably cold even in gloves. The impression is greatly enhanced in the presence of an icy gusting wind. At this temperature, blood circulation decreases, and the hands, again, are at risk of premature aging.
Household chemicals
Think about it, do you often wear gloves when washing dishes or a bathroom? If not, it is better to start doing it right now. Components that contain cleaning products, sometimes extremely aggressive and adversely affect the skin of women's hands. The same applies to the constant use of gels and antibacterial soap. Of course, hands should always be kept clean, but washing out uncontrollably will only harm. If you constantly use these tools, the layers of the skin will no longer serve as a defense against the entry of bacteria.
Age
Over time, the body produces less and less collagen, and such changes have a strong effect on the face, neck and hands. This is a completely natural process that happens with every woman. The cells gradually decrease the amount of water and fat, so the skin becomes thinner and becomes pigmented.
Hormonal disorders
The most dangerous hormonal disorders occur in women of different ages. They can begin in adolescence, and progress during pregnancy, breastfeeding, menopause. Such disruptions stop the production of estrogen, forcing the skin to age quickly. Especially these processes are visible on the hands, if you do not protect them from weather conditions and aggressive detergents.
