Best Tips For Soft Hands
May 21, 2008
Do you have rough, chapped, winter hands? No doubt, household chores contribute their fair share to unsightly hands along with the harsh winter weather that takes its toll on the skin. As that may be, no need to fret, there are numerous tips to ensure that you can have hands that are as soft and smooth as a baby’s skin. For example, it has been found that:
1. Petroleum Jelly works miracles on the toughest of skins. Quite simply, before going to bed, slather your hands with Petroleum Jelly and cover them with a pair of gloves or even old socks. You will notice the difference in less than a week.
2. Slough off dead skin cells by making a solution of sea salt and lemon. Use an old toothbrush and rub this solution into your hands. Doing this twice a week, will not only soften your hands but will get rid of any discolorations, as well.
3. Or, make a paste of one spoon of sugar, lemon juice and fresh cream. Rub it into your hands till the sugar dissolves. You can be sure, you’ll have soft hands that are the envy of all.
4. Soak your hands for five to ten minutes in a mix made of half a cup of warm milk, two tablespoons of sugar and two tablespoons of yoghurt together with a few drops of lavender essential oil. Do a hand scrub after the soak, finishing off with nail / cuticle care, hand massage and nail polish.
5. Dishwashing can take its toll on your hands. Why not add some olive or almond oil to the water. The water will seal in the oil and prevent the harsh dish washing detergent from drying out your skin.
6. Much like Petroleum Jelly, Olive oil has the most amazing purifying properties. It not only deep cleanses sensitive skin, but leaves it baby soft, as well. Using a rich olive oil hand cream every day, will leave them softer than a baby’s bottom.
7. Brown sugar mixed with olive oil is useful in cleaning grimy hands and getting rid of rough skin. Massaging this mixture into your hands and then rinsing off thoroughly ensures hands as soft as a rose petal.
8. Exfoliate with sea salt mixed in olive oil followed up with shea butter massage for hands as smooth as satin.
9. For silky soft hands try two spoons of cacao cream, two spoons of almond oil and liquidized cucumber mixed well. Massage well into your hands before rinsing off.
10. Rub warm olive oil into your hands, leave on for five minutes and rinse off with warm water and soap. Or else, leave it on overnight for intensive hand care treatment. Wear cotton gloves to avoid soiling the bedclothes.
11. Make a hand mask by mixing one spoon of oats flour, olive oil and glycerin with a glass of water. Apply this paste to your hands massaging well into you’re the skin. Leave on for twenty-five minutes, rinsing off with warm water and soap.
12. Make a hand mask using one boiled and peeled potato, mashed and mixed well with two spoons each of milk and honey. Apply the resultant paste to your hands, massaging it in well. Leave on for about fifteen minutes, rinsing off with warm water and soap for soft, soft hands.
