ow to Soften Wrinkles and Restore Youthful Radiance to Your Hands—Naturally
Petroleum jelly (Vaseline) is a gold-standard occlusive—it doesn’t add moisture, but seals in what’s already there, preventing transepidermal water loss overnight. Paired with antioxidant-rich vitamin E oil, it becomes a barrier-enhancing, wrinkle-softening duo.
How to use:
- Mix 1 tsp Vaseline with 2–3 drops vitamin E oil (pierce a capsule if using).
- Apply to clean, slightly damp hands before bed.
- Wrap in soft cotton gloves for 30+ minutes—or sleep in them.
→ Noticeably plumps fine lines by morning.
4. Milk Soak: The Gentle Exfoliator & Brightener
Milk contains lactic acid—a mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA)—that gently dissolves dead surface cells, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Its proteins and fats also soothe and condition.
How to use:
- Warm ½ cup whole milk + ½ cup rose water (or plain water) until comfortably warm (not hot).
- Soak hands for 10–15 minutes, gently massaging occasionally.
- Pat dry—do not rinse—and follow with a moisturizer.
→ Use 2x/week for velvety softness and improved texture.
