THE MASK:
Hands are particularly strained in everyday life and are one of the most obvious aging zones of the body. The infuser hand mask by Wonderstripes smoothens and provides the skin with valuable ,high quality active ingredients, such as moisturizing shea butter and avocado oil.
The mask, which can be reused up to three times, contains revitalizing balms printed on soft sheets. The anti-aging formula reduces wrinkles, improves hydration and visibly minimizes age spots.
MY TIPP: Put the hand mask on when you take your bike, like this your hands are protected from the sun and get an extra treatment while you take a ride.
THE MASSAGE:
Massage your hands at night for at least five minutes to let the goodness of the moisturiser soak in. For very rough hands, mix your moisturiser with a bit of Vaseline so that they are protected all through the night.
When you are washing dishes, gardening or carrying out any chore that allows your hand to interact with chemicals, grease or dirt, ensure that you are wearing rubber gloves to protect your hands.
MY TIPP: Massage your hands with Coconut butter which nourish aswell your nails. Take five minutes after you have been working on the computer and massage your wrists.
THE FOOD:
What you eat is very important. Proteins, Vitamin B, Vitamin E supplements should be a part of your diet to get healthy, strong nails and to keep your hands supple and soft. Lots of water and a daily glass of almond milk are extras that help your obverall skin glow.
