Skin Care Tips for soft, beautiful hands
Keeping it clean
The basic step of any skin care regime, even for hands is keeping it clean. This, however, does not simply means sanitizers of anti-bacterial soaps. A normal soap and water would suffice. Start by washing your hands thoroughly with normal soap and water and patting it dry. Remember, like your face, your hands too need love and protection.
Keeping it moisturized
Moisturizers are crucial, especially due to increased washing and sanitization of the hands. Alcohol and water both make your skin dry, losing the soft texture in the process. To counter this, ensure that you use a good moisturizer. To begin with, twice a day should be enough. Use a deep nourishing moisturizer for longer protection.
Oil Nourishment
Another tip is to use oil. As a night regime, try rubbing warm olive oil on your hands. Just a pinch and let the skin soak in the essential vitamins as you gently massage your palms and hands. Especially rub the cuticles of the nails and massage them in long outward strokes. This would ensure good nail growth and healthier shinier nails. You can also use Coconut or Almond oils.
Butter and Sugar Manicure
That’s right. Nothing leaves your skin feeling softer and younger than butter and sugar. The butter should be home preparation and not the salted butters. Just add half a spoon of sugar in about similar quantity of butter and thoroughly massage your hands. The sugar would exfoliate the dead skin while the butter would moisturize your hands deeply. You can even use ghee or malai (milk fat) for the same if butter is not readily available. Try it and see the difference in your hands.
Eat healthy and drink loads of water
Finally, the golden rule of healthy skin – good nourishment and hydration. Keeping your body hydrated is essential. Remember, lack of water is first visible on skin and results in early ageing. Protect your hands by eating a well balanced diet, rich in essential vitamins and minerals. Don’t forget to drink at least 3 liters of water every day.
