Hands are as important as the Face. Most people just know
how to take care of the face, teeth, hair but very few are aware of how to take
good care of their. Since our hands are used to carry out most of the chores,
they also need pampering and relaxing to look nice and smooth.

noticed by people. In spite of this,
hands and feet are the part of the body that easily gets neglected.

any other part of the body? They do so much work and should be give special.

keep your hands moisturized as frequent washing of the hand during the day
dries up the hand skin. Use a good quality hand moisturizer and apply it at
least three times in a day
ü Massaging
Massage your hand at night for at least five minutes to let the goodness
of the moisturizer soak in. for very rough hands, mix your moisturizer with a
bit of Vaseline so that they can protect all though the night.
ü Scrub/Exfoliate your Hand
Scrub your hands at least once a
week with good exfoliating agent to get rid of dead skin. If you have no time
to buy one at the local store, you can make one at home. Take a teaspoon each
of granulates sugar and olive oil mixes it well with the juice of half lime.
Tip: 1. you
can use this scrub without the olive oil. If you have used the oil, wash your
hand with a mild soap and lukewarm water. If you did not use the oil just rinse
you hand with lukewarm water and pat your hand dry

defoliant on your thin-skinned back hand instead of scrub
ü Care for the nails and cuticle
Your nails and
cuticle also need special care:

When you file your nails, file them in one
direction rather than a seesaw action. A seesaw action can separate the layers
of the nail and if water finds its way between those layers, it can lead into
nail peeling. You should trim your nails at least once in two weeks.

When you paint your nails always use a base coat
so that your nails are not stained. Using a base coat will help the nail polish
last longer.
3.
Use a good quality cuticle cream or oil to
prevent the cuticle from roughing out or drying. While you are taking a shower
or after you have applied oil, gently back your cuticle with a washcloth. This
way you can any need to cut your cuticle.
ü Eating Right
What you eat is
very important. Proteins, Vitamin B, Vitamin E supplement should be a part of
your diet to get a strong, healthy nails and keep your hands smooth and soft.
