Hands are often the first place to show signs of aging—wrinkles, dryness, and rough patches can make them look older than they really are. While expensive creams promise miracles, I found a simple, homemade mask that truly works: baking soda and Vaseline.
This two-ingredient remedy leaves hands soft, smooth, and visibly younger after just a few uses.
🌿 Why Baking Soda + Vaseline Work
- Baking Soda – Acts as a gentle exfoliator, removing dead skin cells and improving circulation. It helps fade age spots and brightens dull skin.
- Vaseline (Petroleum Jelly) – Locks in deep moisture, heals cracks, and creates a protective barrier to keep skin hydrated.
Together, they create a powerful hand mask that smooths wrinkles, softens skin, and restores a youthful glow.
