Beautiful and well–groomed hands, as you know, are a woman's business card. With the arrival of winter, they require special attention. That's when natural masks come to the rescue at home.
The skin of the hands quickly loses elasticity, becomes dry and rough, eventually becomes covered with wrinkles and age spots. Daily in contact with household chemicals, the skin of the hands is exposed to aggressive toxic substances, which makes it look sluggish and lifeless. In this regard, the benefits of natural masks are priceless.
All of them contain a large number of useful elements that actively nourish and restore the skin. Fruits and vegetables are rich in enzymes that are not present in artificial creams. But it is these enzymes that accelerate metabolic processes in cells and tone the skin. In addition, natural masks have practically no side effects. Unless, of course, you are allergic to individual components. Before making such masks, it is necessary to clean the skin of the hands with a scrub, and after the procedure – apply a nourishing cream.
