Special care for the hands

There are also fewer fat glands in the hands, causing them to dry out and develop premature wrinkles.

Hand and nail care guru Prachayamon Buranasiri recently came to the rescue by holding a workshop in collaboration with top local brand Thann and celebrities Ployvarin Songpakorn, Atcha Charoenrasmikiat, Nattacha and Chidchanok Hosajakul.

“We all damage our hands by exposing them to environmental pollution and germs by touching all sorts of things. Regular hand washing is great to prevent disease but it also takes away the natural moisture and flexibility from the skin. It’s therefore vital that we choose a moisturising hand care product that can soften the skin. Products with natural extracts are perfect because they are quickly absorbed. Massage your hands to increase absorption and remember to include the nail cuticle,” she explained.

“The technique of easy hand massage consists of 4 steps that you can do by yourself to activate blood circulation and relieve muscle stress at the same time.

“First massage and press on the back of your hand: Start from finger root to work up to the wrist. Then massage and squeeze the tips of your fingers from the root to end, pressing softly on finger joint.

“Now move to the palm. Press the palm inside from finger root to the centre of your palm.

“And last twist all 10 fingers clockwise, 3 times each.
