Tips and advice: Caring for your hands

hands

Your hands say a lot about you: are they dry or cracked, with bitten nails, or soft, smooth and well-manicured? With these simple tips, everyone can have beautiful hands.

DRY HANDS

For reddened, rough or dry hands, our tip is to first wash your hands well with neutral soap. Then make a mixture of an oily hand cream and sugar. Mix well and apply to your hands. Massage in well and wash your hands with warm water. Your hands will be much smoother.

HOW TO CARE FOR DRY HANDS

The most effective way of curing dry, cracked hands consists of applying the following homemade lotion. Put a small cup of oatmeal in a bowl, add half a liter of boiling water and cover for 12 hours. Then strain the infusion, discarding the oatmeal, and add four spoonfuls of cider vinegar to the liquid.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR HANDS LOOK BEAUTIFUL

If you work with your hands and they don’t look too great, last thing at night massage a few drops of olive oil into your skin and nails. If you can, put on a pair of cotton gloves afterwards and sleep in them. You will really notice the difference the next day. If you want to regain the smooth skin of your youth, heat up some milk and add the juice of half a lemon. Put your hands into the mixture for ten minutes then rinse off and feel how smooth they are.

HOW TO REMOVE ALL TRACES OF NAIL POLISH

Brightly colored nail polish looks great but it is very difficult to remove it all. In addition, it ends up dying the keratin in your nails a dark color that is very difficult to get rid of. A good solution: dissolve two denture cleaning tablets in a glass of water, moisten a paintbrush in the solution and “paint” your nails with the brush until they are totally clean. Then rinse your hands in warm water.

SOFT HANDS

For soft hands, before putting on rubber gloves to wash the dishes, put a little olive oil on your hands and massage in well. When you have finished the dishes, you will see how the effect of the hot water on the oil leaves your hands super-soft.

STRENGTHEN YOUR NAILS

To strengthen your nails, chop up garlic and put it in a bowl of water for 15 minutes. Put your hands into the water for 15 to 20 minutes. Repeat as many times as you wish. As well as helping strengthen your nails, it also helps them grow quicker.
