Skin Care Tips for Beautiful Hands
Hands are the most visible part of our
bodies and the ultimate accessory. But
they take a lot of abuse every day and
are constantly exposed to hot and cold
climates. For soft, beautiful-looking
hands, consider the following tips:
1 Soften your hands while you do
dishes by adding a teaspoon of almond
oil to dishwater. The water will soften
rough skin while the oil will seal in the
moisture.
2 Wash hands thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap for about 15 seconds.
Pat them dry with a soft towel.
3 Moisturize frequently using a good
hand cream with glycerine,
chamomile, and silicone formulation.
This will seal moisture in, soften the
skin, and provide a non-greasy protective
barrier.
4 Exfoliate hands once a week by
using a solution of sea salt mixed with
lemon juice. Brush it into hands with
an old toothbrush to help remove any
dead skin cells.
5 Treat yourself to a paraffin treatment.
Your hands will be softer, and
the warm wax will also increase blood
circulation, improve skin colour, and
ease any joint stiffness.
6 Apply a mixture of one teaspoon
of honey and one teaspoon of olive oil
to slightly damp clean hands. Put on
plastic gloves and cover with cotton
gloves for 30 minutes. The heat will
help the treatment to penetrate.
7 Microwave a cup of milk for 30 seconds
(or until comfortably warm to the
touch) and you’re your hands for five
minutes to strengthen nails and
hydrate skin.
8 Apply petroleum jelly to hands
and cover with cotton gloves while you
sleep through the night.
