In the age of botox and various beautifying procedures and cosmetic products it is hard to tell a woman’s age by appearance alone. What is often forgotten, however, are the hands. They often reveal the true age. With time they develop spots and pigmentation, the skin ceases to be firm and elastic, and the veins become increasingly visible. That is why it pays to use a simple, cheap homemade mask that perfectly rejuvenates the skin on the hands. You will need:
- 2 tablespoons of milk
- 2 tablespoons of powdered gelatin
- 1 teaspoon of cucumber juice
- Half a teaspoon of baking soda
How to do it?
Mix all the ingredients in a glass bowl and then heat them in the microwave for about twelve seconds. The mixture should have a liquid consistency so it spreads easily. Then take a thicker brush and apply the mixture to both hands. Then let the mask dry. Once it hardens on your hands, gently and carefully roll it off your hands downward.
This mask smooths the skin of the hands and keeps it taut. It provides the necessary hydration and a large amount of nutrients. Milk contains calcium, proteins and minerals that can literally brighten the skin. You can also use this peel-off mask on the face. It will be beneficial, especially if you have dry and dull skin.
Mask for dry hands
For dry hands you can also use a mask of two tablespoons of oats, one tablespoon of honey, one egg yolk, half a tablespoon of olive oil and plastic gloves. First mix the yolk with the olive oil. Then add the honey with the oats and mix everything well. Apply the mask to your hands and put the gloves on. Let your hands rest like this for at least two hours, then rinse the mask off.
From time to time you should treat yourself to a hand scrub. Just mix a few tablespoons of coconut oil with ground coffee or coffee grounds. First melt the coconut oil in the microwave, then add the coffee. Let everything set again. Massage the mixture thoroughly into your hands, then rinse it off with water. Use as needed.
