Don’t Let Your Hands Tell Your Age

It looks like after 40 years old, we start to see major changes in our skin.
The fight against wrinkles and dry sky is on! Everyone want to remain youthful for as long as we can; that is if you can afford plastic surgery.
What I’ve been noticing is how dry my hands have been lately. I don’t know if its the hand sanitizer I’m using, as we are in a pandemic and frequent hand washing is a must or what.
Rinsing your hands with water and applying your moisturizer is very helpful each time you wash your hands.
One of the things I can suggest is to drink water. Drink at least the recommended amount of water a day, which is 8 glasses. A healthy diet is of the utmost importance! Exercise promotes good cardio-vascular function; thereby, aiding the digestive system to distribute the nutrients you take in. As what goes in, must come out, don’t let constipation be your problem. Eat a recommended amount of fiber foods and drinks.
Dehydration can cause dry skin where skin creases show with more prominence. Water, again is important to hydrate.
What I found out is that massaging your hands will help the circulation and stimulate the muscles in your hands. Massage the fingers as well-its part of your hand and you will see the difference afterward.
Exercise your hands with an open and close motion when doing your stretches for the day. Or, just exercise your hands wherever you are.
Youth in a bottle is what I’ve been using are coconut oil and coconut cream. Your hands will stay moist longer. Apply generously 2 or 3 times a day and you will see results. Keep one in your purse and use it at work. The skin is very absorbent so several applications are very necessary.
So take care of your hands and you will feel great to see a much youthful hand.
Other uses for Coconut oil, my little secret- is that it is great for shining shoes or synthetic boots, and for putting life back into your wig-this one I really love as your wigs will last longer and therefore save you money from having to purchase another when it starts to look worn.
If you like these suggestion, let me know if they work for you! And yes, the Dollar Store can truly be your friend!
