Often there is a situation when, being vigilant about facial skin care, people forget or pay insufficient attention to the skin of their hands, believing that this area needs less care than facial skin, having greater density and thickness, is better protected and therefore more resistant to external influences. influences.
This misconception is the reason for ignoring the need to care and protect the skin of your hands.
As a result, with perfectly preserved facial skin and overall skin tone on the body, It’s your hands that often give away your age.
To keep your hand skin in good condition, you need to use protective equipment and properly care for it.
Proper care requires not only desire and partly time, but also an understanding of the essence of the issue, knowledge of the reasons why the skin of the hands takes on an unpresentable appearance. So what features does the skin of the hands have?
More the skin of the hands is less moisturized than the skin of the face, it is drier in nature, about five times. The lipid layer, which performs protective functions, is also produced less than in other parts of the body, about ten times.
As a result, the skin on the outside of the hands ages much faster.. Another thing is with the palms, where the stratum corneum (the outer part of the epidermis, in direct contact with the environment) is most developed, as well as on the soles of the feet.
You have probably noticed that a non-specific cream may hardly be absorbed into the skin of the soles and palms. Or the same olive oil that the depleted skin of the face or body literally drinks, absorbs like a sponge, behaves completely differently in these areas.
Causes of wrinkles on hands
The stratum corneum consists of thin, anucleate cells that are located close to each other, resulting in a powerful mechanical protective barrier against harmful bacteria and microbes.
These horny scales are formed from keratin (an albuminoid group of substances), there is also an abundance of sulfur, and the amount of moisture is minimal. That's why creams that are good for the skin of the face and body are not suitable for the skin of the hands and feet.

Creams
Hand creams are divided into three groups according to their effects – protective, caring and healing.
Creamy products for everyday hand skin care (care) differ in the expected time of use, are day and night. They can also be labeled for age purposes, with an active wrinkle smoothing effect.
But when the skin of the hands, under the harmful influence of the external environment, age-related changes, and hereditary factors, loses moisture to an extreme extent, the lipid balance is disturbed, cracks appear, wounds easily form, it dries and flakes greatly, it is no longer possible to manage with everyday care products.
We need complex creams or ointments that accelerate regeneration processes, actively moisturize the skin and relieve irritation. This is already a category of creams or ointments with a therapeutic effect.
Nourishing creams are made primarily on a fat basis, while moisturizers contain about 80% water and only 20% are active ingredients that transport moisture into the skin, additionally enriched with bioactive ingredients.
Creams with anti-aging indications are usually characterized by the inclusion of substances such as collagen, elastin, keratin, aloe extract, and hyaluronic acid.
It must be remembered that moisturizing hand creams contain up to 80% moisture (water comes first), in contrast, nutritional products are fat-based. Nutritious ones are preferable in cold periods, and moisturizing ones in warm seasons.
Cream from the manufacturer Green mama – Aleut with vitamin F and Kholmovy solyanka extract.The name itself already suggests that this hand cream is focused on active nutrition and protection.
Well absorbed, excellent nutritional properties, smells like pine.
An example from the group of medicinal creams is "Losterine". Losterin cream is suitable for extremely dehydrated hand skin. This cream contains active ingredients that solve the problem.
The urea in the cream penetrates deep into the skin, ensuring maximum transit of the beneficial nourishing and moisturizing ingredients of the cream.

To prevent wrinkles on the hands, it is primarily important to take protective measures and timely moisturize and nourish the skin. Don’t forget about adequate fluid intake, vitamins and proper nutrition!
And a little about this topic from a psychosomatic point of view. The skin of the hands is not some separate part, it is the area of the largest organ in the body. As you remember, or don’t remember, from the school curriculum, there is such an amazing anatomical fact.
The appearance of wrinkles depends largely on a decrease in metabolism and blood circulation. And these body processes, in a sense, are closely connected with our mood and state.
A state of closedness, nervous tension, stress creates projections of this in the body in the form of physical tension. And this, in turn, suppresses and reduces the speed of vital processes. After all, it has been noticed that being in a positive mood, a person recovers even much faster.
Additional Tips
This is a recommendation that will relieve stress and enhance and make cosmetic manipulations more effective.
- Turn on soft relaxing music.
- Light the candles.
- Pour warm water into a bowl, adding a little salt and lavender essential oil.
- Place your hands in the bowl. Imagine your hands becoming one with the substance of water. Relax, close your eyes. Let no boundaries be felt, your hands and water as one.
- After this, take the scrub and gently massage the skin of your hands, removing all accumulated tension along with the scrub substance.
- After completing the cleansing step, apply cottonseed oil to your hands. Exactly him! Here we need to talk about its amazing properties.
The composition of this oil is such that it has a strong rejuvenating and regenerating effect on the skin. Cotton pickers, exposed to the scorching sun all day long, quickly grew old, their skin wore out from such stress, while the skin on their hands was very smooth and young, because by contacting this plant, plucking it, their hands were saturated with healthy cotton oils.
Shake your hands hard and fast for a minute. Then relax them, place them on your knees with your palms facing up. Imagine how life-giving forces flow into your hands, saturate your skin, your hands become soft, feminine, and trusting. Harmony and lightness.
And in conclusion, Elena Malysheva will give you some more useful tips on this topic:
What woman, as a little girl, did not dream of one day being in Cinderella’s place? What does the fairy-tale heroine have to do with it when it comes to wrinkles on the hands? If you fantasize and transfer the plot of this work to your own body, then you can figuratively imagine that the face and neck are beloved “daughters” that receive a large share of attention and care. Hands, tireless workers, like “stepdaughters,” are undeservedly deprived of love and proper care. But the indicator of true female age, first of all, is the hands, and only then the neck and face.
Causes of wrinkles on hands
The skin is not the same everywhere in different parts of the body it has its own characteristics and structure. The skin on the hands is thin, practically devoid of fat, which means that lipid synthesis is limited here. Fat-like organic compounds not only form the protective layer of the epidermis, but are also responsible for the level of water balance.
Consequently, the moisture content in this area is several times less than, for example, on the face.
Hands are the part of the body that is most often exposed to external factors: frost, wind, sun. Added to this is constant contact with water, food, and aggressive detergents.
The hands and fingers account for most of the bruises, cuts, scratches, and burns. And, as a rule, a lack of attention and caring procedures, neglect of the rules of protection, does not add beauty and health to the hands. All these reasons lead to the fact that the skin on the outer part of the palms becomes rough, peels, and becomes covered with a network of fine wrinkles.
Age-related changes in the female body, such as menopause, do not add attractiveness to the hands. The immune system weakens, there is a deficiency of vitamins and minerals, physical and psychological balance is disturbed - all this leads to even greater drying of the skin. Paradoxically, the rougher it gets, the thinner the skin on the hands becomes, increasingly resembling parchment.
Hand care
In order for the skin on the hands to remain smooth longer, this part of the body should be regularly cared for and protected from external irritants.
In fact, this will not require much time and money. The main thing is not to forget and constantly adhere to these rules:
- The skin of your hands should be moisturized daily. Cosmetic creams, oils or homemade moisturizing masks are useful for this. Just a wonderful habit will be this fact: every morning and evening, after prolonged contact with water, household chemicals, lubricate your hands with a moisturizer
- If possible, when doing household chores, especially with detergents, wear rubber gloves. Some ladies claim that this causes a certain inconvenience - not everyone can wash dishes or wipe dust with such household appliances. But here, by the way, it’s best to remember the truth: “Beauty requires sacrifice”
- Hands also need additional nutrition. The more nutrients the epidermis receives, the less often and slower wrinkles form on it. Therefore, hands need to be “pampered” not only with moisturizing, but also with nourishing compounds
- When going outside, especially in the cold season, do not neglect mittens and gloves. During the autumn-winter season, hands especially need protection and additional nutrition
- On the beach, cover not only your body and face, but also your hands with protective cream with an ultraviolet filter. The sun dries out the thin skin of the palms even more.
If earlier, until your hands became covered with wrinkles, none of these rules were taken, now you will have to try very hard to rejuvenate the skin on your hands. And doing this is much more difficult than “smoothing” the epidermis on the face. Professional lotions and hand creams that you can use yourself, as well as homemade products: compresses, baths, masks, will come to the rescue.
Using masks and hand creams
The cosmetology market offers a huge selection of hand care products. This assortment is incredibly diverse, so any beauty can choose the right product, regardless of income and employment.
And it is not at all necessary to choose the most expensive cream from a famous cosmetic brand. There are quite effective and inexpensive means. If it is difficult to decide on the choice of the necessary product, then it is better to pay attention to creams, masks and lotions with the following properties: protection, moisturizing, combating signs of skin aging, nutrition.

This is provided by antioxidants, macadam oil, shea butter and aloe juice.
This list can be continued for a very long time. From the commercially available products, you need to choose “your” cream, relying on personal preferences and the individual characteristics of the skin of your hands.
Balanced diet
To prolong the youth of your hands, you should not rely only on external influences. Supporting the health of the whole body, as well as the quantity and quality of food and liquid consumed, plays an important role.
Lack of vitamins, minerals and other trace elements lead to depletion and destruction of epidermal tissue. Excessive consumption of preservatives, sugars, and fats provokes thickening of the vascular walls and the formation of blood clots. And this complicates the passage of oxygen, blood, and therefore the necessary substances for the normal functioning of cells. The result is premature aging of the hands they become covered with unsightly grooves and swollen veins.
The skin of the whole body and hands in particular requires vitamins “A” and “E”, fatty acids, and minerals. You need to ensure that your daily diet includes foods rich in these microelements.
It is best to visit a dermatologist he may recommend taking a course of multivitamins.
It is also very important to drink at least one and a half liters of fluid per day, while avoiding soda, strong coffee and, of course, alcoholic beverages.

Regular diets lead to early aging of the skin on the hands, due to which the body’s supply of tocopherol and retinol is depleted. Fingers and the backs of the hands become wrinkled due to insufficient hydration and tap water containing a lot of chlorine and heavy metal salts. The upper layer of the epidermis becomes thinner and loses elasticity due to ultraviolet radiation, strong wind and frost. But is it really impossible to resist negative factors? Can!
Homework
Aging begins with the hands. It is the palms and fingers that reveal a woman’s real age, and sometimes add several years or even decades to her. Why is this happening? Girls do all housework with their hands. They wash the dishes, soak and hang out the laundry, wipe the floors and windows.
The skin of the hands is constantly in contact with aggressive cleaning agents, which dissolve the protective fat layer and dry out the upper layers of the epidermis. Moisture evaporates from the palms along with nutrients responsible for the regeneration of the dermis. The first fine wrinkles appear, which gradually become deeper.
How to maintain youth? Of course, it is best to give up household responsibilities or shift some of the work onto your husband’s shoulders. If this is not possible, you should get thick rubber gloves that will protect your palms from water with bleach, washing powder and dishwashing detergent.
Before starting work, soak your hands with moisturizer. Homemade or store-bought, it doesn’t matter. The main thing is to apply the cosmetic product in a thick layer, like a mask. Cotton gloves are put on the treated hands, and rubber gloves are placed on top. While a woman vacuums or wipes dust from the windowsill, the cream is absorbed into the upper layer of the epidermis and saturates it with useful substances.
You can add a few drops of liquid vitamin A or E to the cosmetic product. Rubber gloves create the effect of a mini-sauna, softening rough skin. And tocopherol and retinol, absorbed into the hands, trigger the regeneration of the dermis and smooth out shallow wrinkles.
At the end of your homework, wash off the remaining cream with warm water. Do not use soap for the next 2–3 hours. The product dissolves the fatty film and cancels the effect of the mini-sauna.
Balanced diet
The second step on the path to well-groomed and smooth palms is proper nutrition. The aging of hands and face is slowed down by antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids, vitamins A, C and E, as well as proteins. A woman should give up mono-diets and fasting. On the contrary, you should eat chicken, beef or turkey every day. Vegetable salads seasoned with olive or flaxseed oil. Cereals and light soups. Dishes from river or sea fish.
To reduce the number of wrinkles, you need to include in your diet:
- avocado pulp
- blueberries and blackberries
- broccoli
- raspberries and strawberries
- cauliflower and radishes
- black beans and soy products
- pumpkin, zucchini and sweet potatoes
- carrots and tomatoes
- garlic and any nuts.
Green tea without sugar, pure still water and dry red wine have rejuvenating properties. Only alcohol should not be abused. 1-2 glasses a day are enough to saturate the body with antioxidants and slow down the aging of not only the hands, but the entire body.
But you should avoid pickled vegetables, salted meat and smoked fish. These products dehydrate the dermis and lead to the appearance of early wrinkles.
Natural masks for beautiful palms
Honey works well against age wrinkles. The bee component is also recommended for small cracks, inflammation and roughness of the palms. The composition of the mask will depend on the problem that needs to be solved:
- If your hands are covered not only with wrinkles, but also with pigment spots, combine 80–90 g of honey with 10–15 ml of lemon juice. Season with 2 beaten yolks and soak the palms in the mixture. The mask must be secured with fabric gloves and kept until the morning.
- Oatmeal will save rough hands. Soak 25 g of raw cereal in 35 ml of honey. When the flakes swell a little, chicken yolk foam is added to the paste. The palms are covered with a thick layer of mask, which is washed off after 8–10 hours.
- A mixture of honey and olive oil will save dry dermis. Whisk the liquid ingredients and then mix with 1 yolk. You can add 3-4 drops of tocopherol or vitamin A to the product.
But honey is not the only thing that removes wrinkles. Melon pulp returns youth to your hands. The crushed workpiece is seasoned with starch and 25 ml of lemon juice. The remains of the fruit mass are washed off after a quarter of an hour.
If you need to remove wrinkles and whiten your palms, bread will help. Wheat bread is soaked in warm milk. Spread a homogeneous paste onto clean palms and fingers. Milk can be replaced with warmed yogurt or curdled milk. Only a fermented milk drink should have a high percentage of fat content.
Glycerin will remove deep wrinkles. The product is combined with wheat or corn flour to form a thick mass. Add 20–30 ml of honey. Distribute in a thick layer over problem areas. Rest your hands for 30–35 minutes, then wash off the glycerin mask and apply cream to your palms.
Rough skin will love coffee grounds. Rub the product into wet hands using massage movements and leave for half an hour. It is recommended to alternate a mask of coffee grounds with mayonnaise or full-fat yogurt. Dip your hands into the heated product and hold for 25–35 minutes. Coffee removes dead particles of the epidermis, and mayonnaise, especially homemade, saturates the palms with microelements and moisturizes.
Rejuvenating baths
Regeneration of the upper layers of the epidermis begins with warm hand baths. Special solutions and decoctions soothe inflammation, heal microcracks and smooth the skin on the palms. The procedure is carried out daily, 30–40 minutes before bedtime, but always after taking a shower.
Young girls whose backs of their hands are covered with barely noticeable wrinkles are advised to take baths with sea salt. The solution saturates the epidermis with moisture and renews it. The regenerating solution is prepared from 2–3 tbsp. l. dry ingredient and 500–600 ml of warm water.
The products are combined in a small bowl and immersed in the liquid of the palm. The container can be covered with a terry towel to create a sauna effect. Periodically add hot water to the bowl. Steamed hands are gently wiped and moisturized with cream enriched with vitamins and essential oils. It is advisable to wear cotton gloves on top.
Mature ladies are advised to take starch baths. Both corn and potato will do. The product tones flabby and too thin skin, retains moisture in the dermis and prevents the appearance of new wrinkles.
Dissolve 60–65 g of starch in a cup of water and break up the resulting lumps. A homogeneous liquid is poured into a bowl and the palms are immersed in it. Soak your hands in a starch solution for 20 minutes. Then the skin should be blotted with a towel and treated with cream.
Potato broth baths also have regenerating properties. Several large tubers are boiled in 2–3 liters of liquid. The peel is not removed, just the workpiece is thoroughly washed under the tap. When the potatoes become soft, take them out and mash them, and then mix them with hot broth until smooth.
The mass of tubers is cooled to 38–40 degrees and the palms are immersed in the preparation up to the very hand. Steam your hands for 15 minutes and rinse with clean water. Rub homemade cream with vitamins into dry skin.
Revitalizing cream
What should you do after baths and masks? That's right, rub the cream into your hands. Which cosmetic product is the most effective? Prepared with your own hands.
An inexpensive restorative cream is obtained from burnt alum. The preparation is purchased at the pharmacy you will need only 10 g. You also cannot do without 5 bay leaves. The plant is brewed with 300 ml of water and infused in a steam bath for 8–9 minutes. The strained broth is mixed with 3 proteins. The chicken ingredient is pre-beaten with 35 ml of olive oil.
All that remains is to season the cream with alum, transfer it to a glass jar and leave for a day. Use before bed. This remedy can be replaced by sour cream mixed with vegetable oil and freshly squeezed currant juice. This cream does not last long. It is better to mix 5-10 ml of components every evening and immediately rub into the skin.
Hand aging can be stopped with diet, masks and homemade creams. Nutrient compositions renew the dermis and tone. But to prevent new wrinkles from appearing on the palms and fingers, they must be protected from frost, household chemicals and ultraviolet radiation. And also regularly massage your arms and hands to improve blood circulation and skin condition.
