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 age, spots and pigmentation appear on them, the skin stops being firm and elastic and the veins become increasingly visible. That’s why it’s worth using a simple, inexpensive 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 can be applied easily. Then take a thicker brush and spread the mixture over both hands. Then let the mask dry. When it hardens on your hands, gently and carefully roll it down off your hands.
This mask will smooth the skin of the hands and keep it taut. It will provide 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 made from two tablespoons of rolled oats, one tablespoon of honey, one egg yolk, half a teaspoon of olive oil and plastic gloves. First mix the yolk with the olive oil. Then add the honey with the oats and mix everything thoroughly. Apply the mask to your hands and put the gloves on. Leave your hands to rest like this for at least two hours, then wash off the mask.
From time to time you should treat yourself to a hand scrub. Just mix a few tablespoons of coconut oil and ground coffee or coffee grounds. First melt the coconut oil in the microwave, then add the coffee to it. Let everything harden again. Massage your hands carefully with the mixture, then rinse it off with water. Use as needed.
