We reveal the secrets of how to make hand baths at home

Our hands speak of our age much more eloquently than a face or a figure: the skin of the face can be well-groomed, makeup - perfect, and the figure - slim and athletic; however, if the skin of the hands lacks moisture and nutrition, it ages very quickly, and this is easy to notice.

It is on the hands that the skin is very vulnerable: with a lack of fat and moisture, it becomes dry, hard and rough, then it becomes thinner, covered with wrinkles and age spots. Of course, this does not decorate a woman in any way, so it is better to take care of your hands on time.

A well-known home remedy that allows you to maintain softness and smoothness of the skin is a bath for hands. Hand baths are emollient, moisturizing, nourishing, etc. How to make at home and the best folk recipes for hand baths you will learn right now.

Why paraffin baths are useful for hands

For example, paraffin baths are often used in hand care, and they can be done not only in salons and beauty parlors - it is easy to do this at home as well.

Paraffin baths for hands improve blood circulation, metabolic processes, normalize the water balance in the skin, heal microcracks, eliminate peeling and dryness. After the first procedure, the skin on the hands becomes softer, and gradually its elasticity and smoothness returns. In winter and early spring, paraffin baths are especially necessary, as they help protect the skin from the effects of frost and wind.

If there is no special vessel and device for paraffin baths at home, cosmetic paraffin can be melted in an ordinary deep enameled bowl - hands should be sunk to the wrists. Paraffin (approximately 2 kg) is placed in a bowl and melted in a water bath. During this time, the skin of the hands is rubbed with lotion, treated with a scrub, and then a moisturizer is applied.

How to make at home

Prepared hands are first immersed in paraffin for 5-7 seconds, then removed for 10 seconds, lowered again, and so repeated up to 6-8 times - paraffin should cover the skin with a thick layer.

After that, you need to wear special polyethylene gloves, and on top - warm mittens, so that the paraffin works better. Hold such a mask for up to 25 minutes, and then remove the mittens and gloves, and carefully remove the paraffin. The hands are wiped with a warm and damp soft cloth, towards the tips of the fingers, and a nourishing cream is applied to the skin. Such baths are enough to do 2 times a month - if there are no unhealed wounds, burns or sores on the hands.

Effective recipes to soften your skin

To soften the skin of the hands, you can make home baths of starch: dilute 1 tsp. starch with a glass of water, and then add warm water to 1 liter. Hands are lowered into the solution for 15 minutes, then washed with warm water and immediately apply a nourishing cream.

How to make a hand bath with starch: 2 tbsp. starch per 1 liter of water, hold your hands for about 15 minutes, and then, without washing off, grease with pharmacy fish oil, glycerin on top, and put on soft gloves. Such a bath is done for the night.

Baths with a decoction of chamomile, linden blossom, plantain and sage also soften the skin of the hands; a decoction of flaxseed and warmed oil - olive, sunflower, etc.

If the skin on the hands often turns red, then you need to do contrast baths, dipping your hands first in hot, then in cold water - up to 10 times, and then lubricate them with camphor ointment; redness is also removed from the bathtub infusion of oak bark.

Warm oatmeal baths perfectly soften the skin.

How to make moisturizing hand baths

To moisturize and nourish the skin of the hands are very useful baths with glycerin at home. 1 tbsp glycerin is diluted in 2 liters of water, ammonia (1 tsp) and a decoction of chamomile pharmacy (1 glass) are added. Hands are lowered into the solution for 10-15 minutes, and then, without wiping, lubricate them with a moisturizer.

You can make baths for hands from warm water with oil: 2 tbsp. vegetable oil in 2 liters of warm water.

Oil baths 1-2 times a week help to relieve the skin of the hands from increased dryness. If at the same time the nails also break, it is necessary to add iodine tincture (4-5 drops) to the oil, and make such a bath for 10-15 minutes.

After baths with milk whey, you can not rinse your hands - just pat the skin with a gauze napkin and apply a nourishing cream. Whey (2 cups) is slightly heated, and hands are lowered into it for 15 minutes. You can use milk in the same amount: it is heated in the same way and hands are held in it for about 30 minutes. If cabbage brine is added to the serum, then the rough skin of the hands softens and becomes lighter.

It helps to soften and nourish the skin of the hands of the baths of herbs at home very well - you should try to store herbs in the summer and autumn, but in extreme cases they can be bought at the pharmacy.

A tray of nettles (2 tablespoons) and calendula flowers (1 tablespoons) helps to heal cracks. Herbs are brewed with a liter of hot water, insist, take a warm bath for 15 minutes, then blot the skin, apply a nourishing cream and lightly massage.
