Hands are the part of our bodies that are usually exposed and rarely covered by clothes so we should definitely keep them neat. The skin on the hands is very likely to get hurt and damaged. What can you do to boast healthy, smooth hands?
Our hands are constantly exposed to the negative effect of weather conditions. Harmful UV radiation speeds up skin’s aging process. Provide your hands with protection.
How to care for skin on hands?
Hands and nails are easily damaged so remember about basic rules and precautions. Moisturize them as often as possible. Always have a hand lotion on hand and make sure it is rich in vitamins and soothing and protective ingredients. It’s important that it contains urea, vitamins A and E plus sunblock. Apply a hydrating cream after every hand wash and use only mild soaps that don’t upset the pH balance.
Scrubs come in handy as well and you can make them at home. Put on protective gloves to minimize the skin’s contact with detergents while cleaning.
Nail care
Keep your nails moisturized! Above all else, find products that hydrate them from within. Put on the gloves to avoid nail plate damage while doing household chores. If you do the mani, always use fine-quality products. Use a paper or glass nail file because metal tools make nails split. Nail-hardening products cannot be skipped. Remember to regularly nourish and protect the nails.
Healthy cuticles are always welcome so you need to treat them with the right products. Use ones that soften them and then use a cuticle pusher. Rub pure vegetable oil into nails and skin. Apply some petroleum jelly to keep the cuticles moisturized. Dry, ragged skin doesn’t look nice.
Go to the salon for a pro manicure from time to time to get the perfect shape of nails so you can care for them easily later on.
Manicure
There are plenty of ways to get perfect mani. If you want a budget option, do the mani at home. You need a few essentials like Q-tips, cuticle pusher, cuticle softener, nail file and a bowl filled with water and soap. Thoroughly cleanse the nail plate. Next, file the nails and push the cuticles. Apply a primer, nail polish, hardener and that’s it!
Every woman likes to have neat hands and nails. Lovely manicure boosts the mood so relax and spare yourself some time. You don’t need to get it done by a beautician. Try hand and nail spa at home: prepare a scrub, liquid paraffin and gloves. Remove the nail polish, soak the nails in warm water, apply liquid paraffin and the gloves. Leave them for the night. Super-smooth, lovely hands and nails will stun you on the next day.
