The phrase “These were my hands 15 days before I started using this homemade remedy” is a common before-and-after style claim used in beauty and health advertisements. It often suggests a dramatic transformation, but a photo comparison alone cannot prove that a homemade remedy caused the change.
If the claim is about improving hands (dryness, wrinkles, spots, or rough skin), results usually depend on the actual problem:
For dry, rough hands
Helpful approaches include:
- Using a fragrance-free moisturizer regularly.
- Applying a thicker cream or petroleum jelly at night.
- Wearing gloves when using harsh soaps or cleaning products.
- Avoiding very hot water, which can dry skin.
For dark spots or uneven skin tone
- Sun protection is important because UV exposure can worsen pigmentation.
- Some ingredients may irritate skin rather than improve it, especially lemon juice, harsh scrubs, or undiluted essential oils.
Be cautious with viral homemade remedies
Claims involving ingredients like baking soda, toothpaste, lemon, bleach-like substances, or strong acids can cause:
- Irritation
- Burns
- Allergic reactions
- Worsening of discoloration
If you share the exact homemade remedy or the hand concern (dryness, wrinkles, dark spots, veins, stains, etc.), I can explain whether it is likely to help and whether it is safe.
