«Руки каждой женщины могут так много сказать — и правду, и неправду; по сравнению с ними мужские руки представляются мне просто кое-как приклеенными чурками. Зато женские руки — уже нечто большее, чем просто руки, даже тогда, когда они мажут масло на хлеб или убирают со лба прядь волос».
Theodor Böll Heinrich, »Clown»
Agree that many, if not all, womenabsolutely any age would have been nice to just their hands, hard-working, gentle and affectionate, he wrote these words, simple but full of such deep meaning.
What secrets hide those of the fair sex, who can boast a soft and silky at any time of the year, as the velvet skin of hands?
I will tell you frankly that I have, in my opinion,belong to these women the most, but I will not immodest boast in front of you, but just share my little secret. Secrets of hand care in the winter season.
To begin with, that on the winter and what problemscan be caused by it, I know firsthand - more than 10 years has lived in Murmansk, where the cold and the wind - the usual stuff. Nevertheless, I have always managed to have a well-groomed hands, without redness and peeling.
To do this, it does not necessarily spend a lot of time and money on expensive creams. My advice is simple as life itself, but extremely efficacious!
Of course, never leave the house withoutmittens or gloves. Preliminary (20 minutes before) any grease hands with a nutritious cream. But avoid those who basically have the glycerin. It is not compatible with low temperature and you risk even more dry skin.
I am sure that you always have a little vegetable oil, any, but preferably - olive.
In the evening (preferably at bedtime) Spread arms slightlyheated oil, do a little massage, then put on thin cotton gloves and go calmly to rest - sleep on it. Waking up, you will not know their own hands - no redness or peeling! The frequency of this procedure has no limitations, it would be your desire and a little oil!
But if you, most likely, your husband is not satisfied with this option, even when washing dishes (I hope you always wash it with gloves), use this method of hand care.
And another »kitchen» method: Boil potatoes, do not dispose of the resulting broth. He poured it into a cup, soak it in the hands of about 15 minutes. Rinse with a decoction optional, leave it to dry. The same result will give the broth and celery (pre-boil the average value of celery half an hour in 1 liter of water).
For those women who like something a little more complicated, I venture to suggest a recipe of my grandmother, who always were nice and smooth hands in any frost.
She cooked cream by mixing equal amounts of glycerol, ammonia, lime juice and cologne. I apply it on your hands and then went to bed in the paper gloves.
Sometimes creams that we buy in the shops (! Not for low price), do not give us the desired result: Hands stay dry and rough. But do not throw out their!
I usually try to »enrich» ready creams andVaseline is also easy by adding a bit of vitamins E and A (15 drops per 50 g. cream), which are easy to find at the pharmacy. In addition, to increase the barrier properties of the cream I melt a little beeswax (about 20% on the amount of cream) in a water bath and then add it to the cream. Keep your balm in the refrigerator in a glass jar only.
Fans of essential oils can be added to such zazhivlyayusche-protective cream lavender essential oil. Your skin will recover quickly, disappear all the scrapes and cracks, scratches and peeling.
And most importantly: do not be afraid to experiment, and soon find your way that is more appropriate for you!
From my own experience I can safely say that with the use of simple techniques, which I told your delicate skin will not be as vulnerable to frost and burning winter wind.
