Brilio.net - Wrinkled hands are one of the signs of aging that often appear in many people as they get older. Over time, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin that is responsible for maintaining skin firmness and elasticity begins to decline.
This causes the skin to become thinner, drier, and less elastic, resulting in wrinkles or fine lines on the hands. However, in addition to aging, there are several other causes that can accelerate wrinkles on the hands.
One of the main factors is sun exposure . Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage collagen and elastin in the skin, causing the skin to lose its firmness more quickly. Without protection from sunscreen, skin on hands that is often exposed to the sun can experience premature aging and wrinkles.
In addition, dehydration can also worsen skin conditions, including hands, which become drier and more prone to wrinkles. Lack of moisture in the skin causes the skin of the hands to lose its elasticity, which accelerates the appearance of fine lines.
Bad habits such as washing your hands too often with harsh soaps without using moisturizer can also damage the skin's protective layer, causing drier and wrinkled skin. So is using hand care products that are not suitable for your skin type, which can reduce the skin's natural moisture and worsen the problem of wrinkles.

The content and benefits of petroleum jelly to make hands wrinkle-free.Petroleum jelly can prevent and reduce wrinkles on the hands thanks to its ability to lock moisture into the skin. Dry, dehydrated hands are more prone to fine lines and wrinkles.
Petroleum jelly has occlusive properties, which means it forms a protective layer on the surface of the skin, preventing water loss and keeping moisture in. By keeping moisture in, the skin stays hydrated and more elastic, which helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
In addition, petroleum jelly can also repair the skin's protective barrier, accelerate the skin's regeneration process, and provide a soothing effect for irritated or damaged skin. Therefore, regular use of petroleum jelly, especially at night before bed, can help keep the skin on your hands smooth, supple, and wrinkle-free.
