Gymnastics for the hands
To keep your hands young for as long as possible, it is advisable to perform a simple set of exercises throughout the day.
- We actively stretch out for several minutes and connect the fingers of both hands.
- With the fingers of one hand, we try to spread the fingers of the other as far as possible.
- For the third exercise, you will need to purchase a ball so that it fits in the palm of your hand. With your index finger and thumb (one hand first, then the second), you should try to squeeze it as tightly as possible.
Hand massage
Massage is a real magical remedy, which, unfortunately, we forget. But it is precisely stroking and touching that improves local blood flow. The result is better nutrient absorption and accelerated tissue regeneration. At the same time, the massage helps to relax the hands, which is also very important.
The hand massage can be performed anywhere, for example sitting in an armchair in front of the TV.
- Make a fist with one hand and rub the palm of the other with it.
- Massage your wrist.
- Rub your fingers. A feeling of pleasant warmth should appear in them.
- Stretch each knuckle.
- Imagine wearing thin gloves. "Remove" them from each finger in turn.
And as a final step, apply your skin care cream on your hands.
As you can see, home care using only natural products is far superior to in-salon treatments. Furthermore, these procedures do not present any difficulties.
