Often, women believe that one manicure is enough for the beauty of their hands, so they do not pay much attention to the skin on this part of the body and, with the early signs of aging (the appearance of wrinkles), they mainly take care of the face. However, this approach is wrong: it is more difficult to get rid of wrinkled tissue, prominent veins, age spots and dryness on the hands than on the face.
Why is the skin on the hands getting older?
Hands give a woman age immediately: the skin on them is affected by adverse environmental conditions (wind, precipitation, frost), gets stressed in the form of degreasing with frequent use of hot water or detergent.
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 labor, then the beauty of the hands should be taken care of twice: from mechanical effects, the skin becomes rough, loses elasticity, it begins to peel, veins appear, and the quality of nails deteriorates. .
Notes!Another reason for the appearance of wrinkles on the fingers and skin of the hands is hormonal changes: during menopause, estrogen levels decrease, which leads to insufficient production of collagen and fat, and thus dryness, exfoliation, the formation of wrinkles and folds. .
The upper limbs, such as the neck, have very exposed and delicate skin, which needs to be maintained and rejuvenated with procedures in a salon or at home.
