Shannon O'Brien (@shan_abundancenatural) shared the beauty tip in a viral video.
“Here you can see how I rejuvenated the skin on the back of my hands, which really started to show my age,” she said.
The 51 year old revealed that she had the Rimpel Schminkles hand plasters once a week to help restore moisture to her parched skin.
When she washes her hands, she uses a special hand soap to prevent them from being stripped of their natural oils.
“I do this with this tea tree cleansing bar because it is both moisturizing and blended with natural plant oils,” she said.
“It's a bonus that cleaning with a solid bar saves money and plastic waste.”
She added that another trick is to transfer the skin care you use on your face to your hands.
“Just like I do on my face, I put a few drops of Kosmea Rosehip Oil on my hands and rub it in, including my cuticles,” she said.

She explained that the rosehip oil is a natural source of tretinoin, which allows her hands to regenerate new skin.
“Getting all that natural vitamin A into my skin,” she said.
Last but not least, a complimentary technique helps improve blood flow in her hands.
“I lift my hands above my head and do some stretches to improve my circulation, and this is the result,” she said.
“Less flakiness and dryness, and now my hands look more like mine and not my grandma's.”
People were shocked by the dramatic change her skincare routine made.

“But that made such a difference; that's crazy!” said one commenter.
Some shared their own affordable and easy advice for healthier-looking hands.
“Also cheap: add Vaseline, a piece of plastic wrap and cloth gloves [the] fingertips cut off while sleeping,” one commenter suggested.
“[It] works for the shins by just putting on knee-high socks.”
Some were excited to try her tricks on themselves and family members.
“I'm going to do this for my mom. She cleans houses for a living, and chemicals have ruined her skin; she always says her hands look old,” said one viewer.
