How to wash your hands

People who have at least once picked walnuts or at least hazelnuts have faced such a problem as the appearance of indelible brown spots on the skin of their hands. Household chemicals do not always help with this problem.

How can you wash your hands?

Today there is a wide range of household chemicals that can help in cleansing hands.

But, not everyone can help in rubbing the pigment from the walnut. However, at home, folk recipes will help to wash your hands.:

1. Lemon is the safest and most effective remedy... It is necessary to make warm lemon water, pour it into a basin and rub dirty hands with a coarse washcloth. You can make it easier and rub your hands with regular lemon. After that, it will be good to wipe your hands with a nourishing cream so that the skin does not dry out.
2. Grapes have the same effect as citrus... Grape juice should be rubbed into the skin of the hands for a long time until the dirt recedes.
3. Make raw potato gruel and dip in warm water... In this mixture, wash your hands and rub the stains from the dye with a washcloth. But this method may not help everyone.
4. Sea salt... You can make a bath out of it and do it every few hours until your hands return to their previous appearance.
5. Hydrogen peroxide can only affect spots that have just appeared... Pour the peroxide onto the sponge and wash. If a brown spot has already appeared, then it is simply useless to deal with it with this remedy.
6. Salmon can help treat brown spots... Wipe with a cotton swab with massaging movements until completely bleached. The process should take place in the fresh air so that your head does not hurt.

As for household chemicals, they help well, but they can greatly harm the skin, so you need to be careful. These means include:

• household bleach;
• bleaching agents;
• kerosene;
• petrol.

After the hands have been treated with this or that remedy, it is necessary to rinse them with water as soon as possible., and then smear your hands with nourishing cream or oil.

Peeling or shugaring will be an effective method, but after this procedure you need to moisturize them with cream.

For a softer elimination of stains, you can make a mask like this.: Before going to bed, generously smear hands with cream, wrap in plastic bags and put on mittens. By morning, the spots will fade and begin to gradually fade.

Why are your hands dirty after peeling a walnut

Hands become dirty from direct contact with unripe green walnuts, especially when cleaning. Cleansing the skin of the hands after peeling the husk of unripe fruit is a challenge... Why is this happening?

The composition of walnuts includes the pigmented substance Yuglone, which is a dye that is extremely difficult to wash. The most interesting, if the dye gets on the skin, then it does not immediately appear, only after a while can the formation of spots appear.

Walnut ripening time

The collection of walnuts is carried out only when they begin to ripen - the green pericarp splits, and the fruits themselves fall out of there.

When they are ripe, then they have little water in the core, are well cleaned and dry well. Because the fruits do not ripen in the same period, then the collection must be carried out several times... Harvesting is necessary only taking into account its ripening. Nuts in Russia begin to ripen in late August - early September. It is necessary to finish collecting fruits in mid-September.

To make the task easier, it is best to hire a few people so that the harvesting process goes faster and the nuts keep their freshness and last longer.

Collection rules

Collecting nuts is not as easy as it seems. The main rules for collecting walnuts:

• Fallen fruits must be collected no later than 24 hoursso they don't get spoiled. Then clean and dry them a little.
• In no case do not knock unripe fruits with a stick... If you do this, then ripe and unripe nuts fall off.
• Those fruits that are not yet fully ripe are necessary put aside in a dark room until fully ripe... It is advisable if it is cool there.
• If you knock down the nuts with a stick, then the entire crop can be harvested in a day. This will save you time, and a large portion of the crop will be saved from being eaten by pests.
• Soft-shelled walnuts can easily get damaged or crash on the ground when dropped... There are specialized accessories for this. You can make such a device yourself: attach a small bag with a hard hole in the mountain to an oblong stick.

How to split a walnut

Splitting the fruit is not an easy task and it takes a lot of effort to get the cherished kernels. There are various ways to open a nut.:

• Splitting a whole nut with a knife... To do this, insert the edge of the knife into the gap between the two halves of the shell. Next, we rotate the tip until a split occurs. However, there are also disadvantages of this method: here only a small part can break off, through which it is difficult to reach the nucleoli.
