Brilio.net - Hands are often the part of the body that is most exposed to sunlight, soap, and chemicals, but are often neglected in skincare routines. In fact, dry and poorly hydrated hand skin can age faster than other parts of the body. If not properly cared for, hands can appear wrinkled, sagging, and lose their elasticity over time.
Many people focus on taking care of their face to stay youthful, but forget that hands can also show signs of aging. Unprotected exposure to UV rays, use of harsh soaps, and frequent hand washing without moisturizer can accelerate the appearance of fine lines and dark spots. As a result, the skin on the hands that should be soft and supple becomes rough, dry, and looks older than its actual age.
To keep your hand skin healthy and firm, simple but routine care is essential. Using a moisturizer containing ingredients such as glycerin, shea butter, or natural oils can help maintain moisture. In addition, adding a hand mask made from natural ingredients can also help overcome wrinkles on the hands.
A number of ingredients, such as potatoes, egg whites, and lemons can solve the problem. These three kitchen ingredients are known to have benefits in skin care, including helping to tighten wrinkled and sagging hand skin.
Potatoes contain vitamin C and antioxidants that can help stimulate the production of collagen, an important protein that maintains skin elasticity and firmness. In addition, the natural acidity in potatoes acts as a natural skin lightening agent, helping to reduce hyperpigmentation and make the skin appear brighter. Regular use of a potato mask can help brighten the skin and make it feel softer and more supple.

Meanwhile, egg whites are rich in protein, especially albumin, which can help tighten the skin by increasing collagen and elastin production. In addition, egg whites contain vitamins A and E which play a role in increasing skin elasticity. Regular use of egg white masks can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making the skin look firmer and smoother.
On the other hand, lemons are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage and stimulates collagen production. In addition, lemon contains alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) which functions as a natural exfoliant, helping to remove dead skin cells and brighten the skin. The natural astringent properties of lemon also help shrink pores and tighten the skin.
