EGA Age Defiance
How to maintain young looking hands? 20/12/2009
Our hands are not an exception when it comes to ageing. Just like the other parts of our body, our hands require our utmost care and attention. Believe it or not, we use our hands every second of the day which put our hands under a lot of stress. A lot of stress would start reflecting on your hands and the ageing process would kick in sooner if you do not steer towards proper care and nutrition for your hands. As much damage we do to our hands, it is vital that we care for them twice as much. There are lots of things we can do to make sure our hands are as young as the rest of our body or even younger. Firstly, use hand cream throughout the day and at night. Moisturizing, just as it for facial, is important for the elasticity and suppleness of your hands. Providing constant hydration will help your hands to constantly replace the loss of moisture. UV rays do a lot of damage to our body. Our hands are not an exception. Constant exposure and lack of care could lead to dehydration, pigmentation and cause ageing faster than we ourselves age. There we need to ensure that whatever damage we do, we are providing the solutions as well. Invest in a good sunscreen. More often than not, your hand lotion would contain the required amount of SPF. Read the labels and if you are sure you are not getting enough protection, opt for a sunscreen instead. Also, take care when using chemicals. Use gloves when handling. This would ensure that your hands are safe from harmful substances. Also, notice the harshness of your soap. Your hands as well your entire body need mild care. Therefore, switch to a soap or body wash that is mild and soft on skin. It is also essential that we pay good attention in caring for our nails and cuticles. Do not use nails to open tins or for scratching. This will cause your nail to break, become brittle and look uncared for. Also, take care that you clean your fingernails after using nail extensions or nail polish. If you are not careful, you will get ingrown nails and even fungus growing underneath. Watch your diet. As you would notice, our general well being will ensure that our different parts of our body are well taken care for. Our body knows what to provide where and therefore, your hands will get the nourishment it needs. Include good amount of proteins so that you will have good looking and healthy nails. Apart from all the caring from your side, invest in a good manicure treatment every 2 weeks. Also, make sure you are visiting a professional who is certified to do the work. Otherwise, it could end up in more damage than good. As a last resort, seek help from doctor or dermatologist for the latest and effective treatment in reversing the ageing process for hands. The treatments could cost more depending on the damage your hand has faced. This would be unnecessary if you start taking care of your hands as soon as possible.
