So much of the beauty industry focuses on products and tips for the face that often other body parts seem to get lost in the shuffle. So in this article I am going to concentrates on what we can do to ensure that our hands & nails stay as beautiful as our faces.
The nails and hands are two parts of our bodies that are often taken for granted. We use them everyday of our lives, but fail to take care of them as much as we take care of our hair, teeth, or other body parts. The reason for this is because they always serve their purpose and they never fail us until it’s too late to give them their much deserved attention.
By the time we see veins on our hands, or see them with blotches of red and discoloration; or when our nails are specked with white spots, and often break.
Is it too late to care and improve them?
No, it's not. But we need to act on it soon.
There is a secret to taking care of our hands and nails. As with any care regimen, we need to understand these parts of our body that have been very loyal to us through these years. Once we know this, we need to know how to take better care of them, and other factors that have been affecting them without us knowing. We can then decide what products would be benefitail to help our hands & nails stay as beautiful as our faces.
Hand Care
Avoid Excessive Wetness
We all know that water strips off skin’s natural oils leaving it dry and wrinkled. Try to lessen your time in the shower by observing a wet-soap-rinse routine.
Moisturize
Especially if you spend most of your time in very cold or air-conditioned areas, the hands can become really dry. Try to pack a small bottle of lotion or cream in your back so that reapplication will be handy.
Hand Massage
While you can avail of the masseuse’s service, you can do quick daily hand massage by yourself while taking a break at work or watching TV. Massaging the hands paves the way for better blood circulation which eliminates appearance of veins and wrinkles. You can use massage oils or a vitamin enriched cream for both relaxing and nourishing hand treatment.
Nail Care
Wash your hands with mild soap and clean your nails with a soft nail brush. Leave your hands in warm water for a few minutes to soften cuticles and move to the base of your nails. An excellent time to do your manicure is after a shower, bath or the dishes. These activities will remove dirt from under the nails as well as soften dry nails.
Cut your nails all at the same level and file the rough edges or points that remain after. It is not a good idea to remove the cuticles from your nail, as it will make the nail susceptible to infection.
If you have dry nails, apply some moisturizing hand & nail cream on them.
What products do you recommend for hand & nail care?
Avocados have a great variety of nutrients such as Vitamins C, B6 and E, which have been proved to: reduce wrinkles, moisten, clean, exfoliate and enrich the skin.
In fact, research shows that hand & nail creams with avocados have more Vitamins E than any others. Vitamin E is a highly-powerful antioxidant known for slowing down the ageing process and reducing the damaging effects of sun exposure as well as helping in the prevention of heart diseases.
