Your hands need care to always be smooth and beautiful. Here are some essential rules for hands and nails:
1. Cleaning
Choose a gentle cleansing product that contains glycerine or oil and does not dehydrate the skin and use lukewarm water.
2. Exfoliation
The best way to remove the layer of dead cells and to have a smooth and shiny skin is peeling. Whether you use a commercial product or something you really prepared at home (bran, coffee grounds mixed with yogurt or sugar do wonders), exfoliate 1-2 times per week has to be part of your care program of hands.
3. Mask
As the skin needs intensive treatment at least once a week, and so need your hands. I suggest you dip your hands for 5 minutes in a bowl with warm water that you put a spoonful of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 teaspoon of glycerin and then rub them gently.
4. Massage
One minute massage will stimulate circulation, providing nutrients to the skin of the hands and make them more flexible and more brilliant.
5. Hydration
When it comes to skin care, moisturizing is the most important step. At night, after you use cream, you can use a pair of cotton gloves to facilitate deep penetration of active ingredients.
6. Photoprotection
The only way to prevent those unsightly spots hyperpigmentation is to protect hands with a rich hand cream with sun protection factor. Therefore choose a product with an SPF of at least 15 to make sure that your hand is protected against the sun and premature aging.
7. Protection
Never forget to wear gloves whenever cleaning, your hands must not come in contact with aggressive substances, whether it’s cleaning products or dishwashing liquid. Besides the fact that the skin will not become rough and dry, as generally happens after this sense of activity, and prevent the occurrence of dermatitis caused by this kind of product often. Also, remember to protect your hands from cold.
8. Cuticles
The only treatment they need is the moisturizing cuticles, using an oil based product applied two times per week. Cutting cuticles not only increase the trauma occurred and small irregular tissue around the nail inevitably predispose to bacterial or fungal infections.
9. Nails
A skin moisturizer is absolutely essential to keep them healthy and strong. If your nails are flaking and breaking the trend using a product specially formulated for this purpose.
