In order for the effect to be noticeable, you need to take care of your skin on a daily basis, paying attention not only to nutrition and lifting, but also to protection.
To rejuvenate and firm the skin, it is important to avoid over-drying it. After each contact with water, lubricate your hands with cream, moisturizing gel or a special liquid made from a mixture of glycerin, water and ammonia, which you can buy at a drugstore. Use gentle baby soaps, cosmetic soaps and neutral pH gels that are not aggressive.
When doing housework, protect your hands with moisturizing rubber gloves or cotton-lined gloves. Before putting on gloves, lubricate your skin with an oily cream, you get an express wrap, very useful for your hands.
Look for creams that increase skin density and maintain lipid-water balance. Products containing urea, plant peptides, cell complexes and vitamin E are especially good. Hand creams should be sufficiently nutritious, so after application, give a light massage, ensuring complete absorption.
Thermal baths
Include baths with special hydrating fluids and nourishing oils in your weekly manicure regimen. They soften the skin well and make it more sensitive to other treatments. After bathing, scrub the brushes with a polishing scrub made from sugar, salt or polymer granules. It eliminates dead particles from the skin, unifies the relief and revitalizes blood circulation. An alternative to exfoliation is a fruit acid peel. It is applied to dry or wet hands and after a quarter of an hour it is washed off with lukewarm water. Mild acids will smooth the skin, remove flakiness and lighten age spots.

Soak cotton gloves in it, put them on clean hands, wrap the brushes on them with plastic and terry cloths. Wait half an hour, remove the compress, wash your hands and moisturize them with cream. This procedure will make the skin more elastic, eliminate sagging.
