Hands care tips


I'm sure you'll agree that, our hands are very important to us.A lot of us take care of our face, but neglect our hands which is very bad.


Even though your face gets noticed first, your hands get the maximum exposure. They are in direct contact with harsh sun, chaffing winds and drying elements like detergents, hot water etc. As a result, the hands look years older than other parts of you.we should take care of our hands too..

Here are some tips :

* Wear a high SPF sunscreen on the backs of your hands every day, even in winter and on cloudy days

* Wear gloves every time you wash dishes or handwash clothing.Gloves protect your hands from the irritating ingredients of household chemicals and cleansers


* Use a mild pH soap like Dove when washing your hands


* Put lotion on your hands after you wash them, every time!


* Always wear gloves when you garden or do heavy housework


* Wear gloves to protect your hands from cold weather.


* Exposure to cold and windy climate for long time can remove moisture from your skin. So, wear gloves whenever you go outdoors during the winter season.


* Get manicures from reputable spas or nail salons that practice good sanitation.


* On hot sunny days, wear sunscreen to protect you hands from the sun's ultraviolet rays.


* Apply aloe gel to protect and prevent the hands from aging.


* Mix some glycerin, lemon juice and some drops of rosewater and use it to massage the hands every other day for radiant and soft skin of hands.


* Do not use hot water, use warm water instead. Studies prove that using hot water strip the skin of its natural oils.


* Do not remove cuticles (the dead skin at the base of a fingernail or toenail) since they are there protecting nails from infection.

Manicure -Steps



Steps for the MANICURE


Step 1...........Exfoliate your hands by massaging them using a small amount of body scrub. Rinse with water and dry thoroughly.

STEP 2 ..........Your nails needs filing.When filing, move in one direction, from outer corner to centre-sawing movements can damage the nail plate. Choose a nail file with a fine surface that glides over the nail.

STEP 3 ..........Coat hands in a layer of sweet almond oil then wrap in a warm towel and relax for 15 minutes. Unwrap, and gently push back cuticles using a rubber hoof stick (available from most chemists).

STEP 4 ............Apply one coat of base coat over your entire nail and allow a couple of minutes to dry. This will help strengthen the nail.

STEP 5 ............For a square look, paint a straight line across the tips; for a rounded appearance, follow the curve of the nail; and to get a pointed style, paint in from each side to the centre. when applying, lay your hand on a flat surface and leave to dry.

STEP 6........... Finally, apply a coat of translucent shell-pink nail polish over the entire nail to seal the whitened tip and complete the look. Allow 10 minutes for it to dry.
