But besides that, the reason is that she has worked as a model all her life, and this forces her to keep herself in good shape and take good care of herself.

Purification
This usually goes unnoticed. Many women find that using hand cream at night is enough. Although, before applying the product to the face, they thoroughly cleanse the skin and tone it so that the cream is better absorbed. Proper hand cleansingvery important. Often the cause of dryness is the wrong choice of soap or hand gel. It is better to choose a natural soap that contains he althy oils, but you need to keep in mind that it requires a special soap dish and is more expensive.

Then this mixture should be massaged into the skin of the hands. Oatmeal gently scrubs and perfectly softens, you will immediately feel the effect. This scrub can be used daily because it is very gentle.
2. Scrub from coffee grounds. Just coffee grounds as a scrub will not work, but it can be mixed with liquid soap, even better - with natural oils: olive, apricot, peach. But it must be borne in mind that the oil is more difficult to wash. This scrub is applied several times a week.
3. Sugar scrub. Honey is added to ordinary sugar, you can buy ampoules with vitamins A and E at the pharmacy. Hands are massaged for about five minutes, sugar acts as scrubbing particles, honey nourishes the skin of the hands. Sugar scrub, like coffee scrub, is also quite aggressive, it can be done two to three times a week.
You can add a little lemon juice to the mixture if you need to whiten the skin andnails, do scrubs based on cream or sour cream, if the skin of the hands is sensitive.

The most suitable oils: olive, linseed, mango butter, shea butter. The last two are hard, they can be useful for dry skin care not only on the hands. You can add a few drops of vitamins A or E to the oil, but these products themselves contain many useful substances and can eliminate even severe dryness in two or three uses.
2. Warm compresses. Heat enhances the effect of any vegetable oil. Take three parts of oil and one part of honey, heat in a water bath. The mixture should feel pleasantly hot to the touch. Apply to problem areas, wrap with gauze and put on fabric gloves or mittens. Leave on for 20-30 minutes, rinse, apply moisturizer.
In general, for hand care, you can make any masks designed for very dry skin, including purchased ones. If there are no special problems, then choose a mask to your liking and do it once or twice a week. This is a different prevention of dryness and peeling.

For baths, you can use ingredients that are difficult to make a mask. For example:
1. Beer bath for hands. The beer is heated, chamomile flowers are added to it, the mixture needs to be infused a little. When it cools down to a pleasant warmth, you need to hold your hands in it for 15 minutes. Chamomile disinfects, softens and soothes the skin, prevents the appearance of hangnails, beer contains vitamin B, which is also called the beauty vitamin.
2. Herbal baths. There are a lot of their recipes. Chamomile, mint, linden, linseed perfectly soften, oak bark relieves redness, St. John's wort, rose hips, lingonberries nourish.

Keep your hands in the decoction, brought to a pleasant warm temperature, you need about 15-20 minutes.
After such baths, hands should be blotted with a towel and generously smeared with nourishing cream. These procedures are done on demand or every other day in 10-15-time courses.
Homemade hand cream
Hand cream, and indeed any cream, at home is more difficult to make than, say, lip balm. Here is one original and, most importantly, a simple recipe for homemade hand cream, which has been tested by more than one user. Its composition is as simple as it is stunning!
So, you will need the following ingredients:
1. Baby body lotion "Johnsons Baby".
2. Vitamin E, available in capsules or cream base.
3. Vaseline.
Components can be mixed by eye. The main thing is not to overdo it with vitamin E, its recommendedconcentration can always be found in the instructions. Vaseline is added purely for consistency, as baby body lotion is too runny and light for adult skin.
All components are thoroughly beaten with a whisk or even a mixer and laid out in convenient bubbles.
This is the regular hand care at home. Why does every woman need it? There are very few sebaceous glands on the skin of the hands (as well as on the skin around the eyes and on the neck), so even if you do not work with your hands from morning to night, they will inevitably age faster. Of course, all these recipes will help if the peeling of the hands and dryness are not associated with internal problems, for example, with a lack of vitamin A.
