Homemade Treatments to Prevent Wrinkled Hands

1. Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil Treatment

Both aloe vera and coconut oil have powerful moisturizing and repairing agents that contribute to improving the appearance of the hand’s skin. Their application as a natural lotion is an interesting and economic way to reduce blemishes, wrinkles and other signs of ageing that tend to develop.

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons of aloe vera gel (75 g)
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil (30 g)

Preparation

• Incorporate both ingredients into a blender and process until a smooth cream is obtained.
• Once that is done, take as much as you think is necessary and rub it in your hands until it is completely absorbed.
• Let it sit through the night and repeat application on a daily basis.

2. Cocoa Butter and Castor Oil Treatment

By combining the hydrating properties of cocoa butter with the antioxidants of castor oil, we can obtain a full treatment for nourishing and regenerating the delicate hand’s skin.

Their active compounds increase levels of collagen and prevent problems such as sagging and fine wrinkles.

• Make sure it absorbs well and repeat its use up to two times a day.

3. Banana and Honey Treatment

A natural banana and honey mask is a cheap and healthy solution to protect hands from toxins and UV rays from the sun. Its hydrating action helps to keep your hands moisturized, and with time, reduces the presence of wrinkles and spots.

The fatty acids that this homemade treatment contains are a great supplement to maintain the hand’s skin young and smooth. These nutrients together with vitamin E and antioxidants, provide a protective barrier against chemicals and toxins that usually are responsible for premature aging.
