Most people only focus on caring for the beauty of facial skin, even though the skin in other areas of the body also needs to be cared for to avoid various problems. One of them is hand skin. Often exposed to free radicals, the skin on your hands is susceptible to various problems, such as stripes, dullness, darkening, roughness, dryness , and the appearance of several wrinkles and fine lines.
The main cause of this condition is that the skin on the hands begins to lose its elasticity. Meanwhile, reduced collagen production also makes the skin thinner and wrinkles. These two signs of aging will become more visible if the skin on your hands is exposed to sunlight too often. It is known that UV rays can damage the skin of the hands. Not only does it cause wrinkles, but it also triggers the appearance of black spots .
No need to worry, to fade black spots, there are several methods you can use. One of them is regularly using moisturizer, especially after washing your hands or showering. You can use a moisturizer containing hyaluronic acid and glycerin which keeps your skin moist.
Well, you can make this moisturizer yourself using natural ingredients. No need to use milk, as a solution you can use one type of flower, namely rosewater. This rose flower extract contains natural moisturizing properties that maintain moisture in the skin of the hands. The soothing properties in rosewater help relieve irritation and prevent signs of aging on the skin.
Meanwhile, lemon juice contains vitamin C which can reduce signs of aging, including fine lines and wrinkles. Its use as a natural exfoliator helps remove dead skin cells and regenerate them.

Rose water can also make rough skin soft.
Rose water is a natural ingredient that is useful for moisturizing the skin by making it softer and less rough. The reason is that you need to know that skin that is too dry will result in skin that feels rough.
Rose water contains natural moisturizers and antioxidants which can prevent dry skin. Rose water is also good for keeping the skin's pH balanced. This is because this natural ingredient can play an active role as a natural skin hydrator and locks in skin moisture for a long time.
It turns out that rose water can also brighten dull skin.
Apart from containing antioxidants, rose water is also enriched with vitamin C which is believed to be able to even out, restore and brighten skin tone. The presence of vitamin C and antioxidants in rose water can nourish the skin so that the skin looks brighter. Apart from that, another benefit of rose water is that it can be used as a natural exfoliant. By diligently exfoliating your skin, dead skin cells will be removed and make your skin tone brighter and more even.
