Hands care

Hands are always visible, so the ideal is to have smooth skin and nicely manicured nails. But our hands are always exposed to the elements. This exposure causes the skin on the backs of our hands to age quickly, liver spots - pigmentation marks that look like oversized freckles - can appear, but htese can be lightened with fading creams. To keep the skin on your hands supple, have a bottle of hand lotion by the kitchen sink and , if you dislike wearing rubber gloves, smoother your hands with it before putting them into washing-up water or any kind of household work.

Super Supple Skin Boosters

Manicurisrs treat hands that are dry to the point of cracking and callousing with skin-softening warm paraffin wax - the skin is coated with it and then peeled off when set. You can renourish really dry hands at home by soaking them in warm olive oil. Fill a teacup with the warmed oil, dip in your fingers and left them soak for a few minutes. When you remove them, rub the oil into your hands.

Lemon clean

Bleach stained hands naturally using fresh lemon juice, wash them afterwards with mild, unscented soap, and use a pumice stone to remove rough skin, then rub in lots of rich hand cream.
