5 Easy Steps for Beautiful Hands
Did you know that moisturising is not enough to keep your hands looking pretty and supple? There are ways to wash and exfoliate them and miraculous home remedies for younger looking hands.
Invest in a good hand cream
Yes, you know this one. But the trick is not just to invest in one but also learn how to massage your hands with your precious moisturiser. If you have to sit in front of the computer all day your your hands are always on an overdrive. So, you must keep a moisturiser handy even in your office.
Home remedy: Mashed Potatoes mixed with milk are great for a hand mask.
Good nail care
Once a week, soak your hands in soapy water for a couple of minutes and then file your nails before applying nail paint. You can also opt for just a clear coat of nail varnish too, for the more natural and clean look. Don't scrap off nail paint because this weakens your nails.
Home remedy: Eat foods rich in calcium like dairy products for healthy nails.
Washing up
Water that is too hot or too cold is not good for the hands, so always try and wash your hands in room temperature water.
Home remedy: Boil water and mix 1 tbsp of herbs such as chamomile, calendula and sage. Dip your hands for 15-20 minutes once cool. Dry off and apply a moisturiser.
Proper protection
If you're washing dishes or clothes, or simply dealing with lots of water, wear gloves. Otherwise, simply oil your hands before any work involving water so your hands don't look and feel painfully dry.
Always apply sunscreen on your hands before stepping out during the day.
Home remedy: Rubbing lemon on your skin gives your hand an even tone.
Exfoliate for pretty hands
You need to get rid of dirt and dead skin cells by exfoliating your hands. Exfoliating also improves circulation and keeps your hands looking pretty and young.
Home remedy: Take two tablespoons of butter and one tablespoon of sugar. Massage your hands with this mixture till the sugar particles dissolve. Wash off and feel the difference.
